2 Mud crabs, cooking with chilli ginger and tamarind

I've got to ask ... how did you kill them?

Many years ago I brought my brother and his family a truly HUGE live crab from the Sydney Fish Market ... which they never had the heart to put into a pot of boiling water.

I believe my brother ended its live captivity by killing it with an axe out in the backyard .... Shocked

.... didn't feel a thing .... Shocked

An axe???? Grin

Apparently he didn't know what else to do. (Maybe I've got the story wrong?)

The way to kill a crab/ hurt bird / etc is to put it in a bag and hold the bag over your car's exhaust pipe until it is dead.

Carbon Monoxide.

.... RSPCA Approved ... Shocked

When we lived in China we used to hear the crabs singing as the cook would drop them into the big pot of bubbling water ... a high pitched screaming sound.

I wanted to put it in the freezer but there wasn't enough room so I put them in the kitchen sink with every ice cube and esky chiller and a 2 bottles of ice water and left it for 30 mins until it went ni ni, then I drove a large cooks knife right inti it's central nervous system.

Wouldn't have felt a thing.

They say you hear them scream when you drop them in boiling water *sob*

Take an esky to the fishmarkets and chuck it in with ice which they'll even give you. By the time you get it home it will be in dream land.

You can get a whole box of legs for the same price (or probably cheaper) as we pay for one decent sized Lobster here. It's criminal what we pay here.

Yes! I forgot the crab-in-the-freezer trick.
