Thanks, Nemo. I'm no stranger to Dungeness crab. I lived in California, and I used to camp and crab every year at Dillon Beach (just north of San Francisco.)

There is a much easier way to clean a Dungeness crab. All you need is a heavy (5 gallon, I think) bucket. You should probably be outdoors:

While the crab is still alive, turn it upside down. Fold its legs inward using both hands. Hold it firmly, straddle the bucket with your feet and smash down through the edge of the bucket such that one hand and half of the crab go into the bucket while the other hand and crab half go out of it. Warning: The crab does not like this very much and, if you don't do it properly, he will most likely be unhappy. If witnesses are present, try not to scream like a little girl.

At this point, hopefully, you've broken the crab in two. You can relax. The crab isn't angry anymore.

Hold the legs of one half with your right hand, but don't hold the body. Fling it outward as if you're throwing a frisbee. Don't let go of the legs. Do it hard. The body will separate from the legs and land on your neighbor's car, in her azalea bush or on her front porch. That's fine since the legs are what you want to keep.

Do the same with the other half.

If you do it right, cleaning a crab takes about 30 seconds.

I used to really enjoy teaching this to novices... especially to women. It was funny as hell. Newbies rarely crack down hard enough, and they always freak out when their first attempt to kill the crab fails. LOL.
