Well - I thought I would take a chance and to smoke some crab.
I went out and caught about 2 dozen blue claw crabs out in the Great South Bay on Long Island.
I cleaned the crab and got as much meat out as possible from the claws, back, etc.
I smoked them in a aluimnum tray with apple wood in my Weber Kettle. I didnt take the temperture of the crab as I have steamed crab countless times and the meat turns white when it comes out of the shell.
It was a unique flavor, very sweet.
I used some old bay seasoning, pepper, and a some chipolte that I had dried out and ground up.
Sorry for the poor quality on the pic - was a camera phone
