as a snackEasy

Spider crab is one of those relatively undiscovered seafood pleasures... well at least in the UK. It can be prepared and eaten in exactly the same way as a standard brown crab, but don’t expect to get quite as much white meat out of it. You’ll also need to work a little harder at getting that white meat out of the body crevices.
Fresh crab meat on toast - either from a spider crab or a regular brown crab - makes a delicious snack, or you can serve it as a starter for a dinner party
