Guest guest Posted June 25, 2006 Report Posted June 25, 2006 Hi , Just had my fill of blue crabs today! Delicious! We used beer in the past. But with the celiac diagnosis we've switched to white vinegar. No set amount--a couple of splashes. Put some old bay on those guys and I'm in heaven! Happy eating!
