You can take the snow crab and toss it. The Dungeness? What did ya do with all that heavenly liquor from the body cavity? 

[riverrat49]

Sorry but everything on there is Dungeness and King... Snow Crab is bait...

Wow! .... That'll get your attention. ..... Do you dip the crab meat in clarified butter like we do with lobster out here on the east coast. What is that typically served with.

The Fam does as for me not so much I prefer it straight up

RR49,
Are those tricky to cook? ..... Low or high heat? ... Do you baste to avoid drying the meat out? ....... What's the trick for a successful cook. I see these in the fresh case at my supermarket but have never taken the plunge.

165* for about an hour to hour and a half , we just wet them down and sprinkled with Tom Douglas "Seafood Rub with Love" after about 45 min gave them another "Misting" if they are uncooked crab it may take a little longer, please remember time and Temps can vary from smoker to smoker.

So you are doing a reheat? .... Your crabs have already been cooked when you got them?

[riverrat49]

Depends, with King Crab for us we can only get it pre-cooked, with Dungeness it depends on what the West-Side sends us

As a taxable magnet on the west side; I will say that it's nearly impossible to get uncooked crab at any 'outlet' store. I can get them at Pike Place, or maybe somewhere at Fisherman's wharf (where the boats dock). It's simply because the meat will spoil easily within a couple days if not properly cared for.

As Ratty said, Kings are always cooked prior to sale, Dungeness is most likely cooked as well. The way to tell is by the color. Uncooked Dungeness crab is pale greenish in color. It only acquires its reddish color when cooked, as opposed to its much smaller (yet as much tasty) red rock crab. These can only be had by self harvesting. Forget about kelp crab as there's no appreciable meat in them.

As far as smoking them; there's virtually no flavor added in the process. 99% of the meat is covered by shell. Smoke isn't going to penetrate that membrane.

I'll be that's tasty! .... Do they get smokey at all?
