• sea salt

Plunge the mud crab into a large bucket of heavily iced water for 15 minutes. This will help to humanely dispatch it. After 15 minutes, place the tip of a large sharp knife between the eyes and spike the mud crab.

Put the crab directly into boiling salted water, reduce to a simmer and cook for approximately 8 minutes. Transfer the crab onto a steel tray and refrigerate for 2 hours. Once
