It does sound good!


It is good, we do ours outside in one of those Turkey fryers, then you put newspaper down on your outside table and dump the goodies on it, no mess inside - just roll up the newspaper when your finished and through it away. Great post.


Hi Griz, we have a restaurant that specializes in this called the Crab Pot in Seattle, WA. I have done something close to this and added crab claws. Very yummy and filling. A lot of fun with a small group of people YaY! =D


Great post Bear! TY Joymarie

We do this alot in the summer for pool parties.. Line the table with layers of newspaper and small bowls of melted butter, which here in the summer stays melted! Dinner is served!

Hey there! This stuff is great! My sister had fixed it before she knew she was allergic to shellfish! Whoa!! What a spotted mess she was! She broke out in hives and scratched while we ate away at all the goodies! More for us, Yeah!!! Jett

Hi! I've been looking for a recipe like this, might have to give this one a try pretty soon.
Gotta add craw fish though! :)


Yum Yum thanks:)


My mouth is watering just looking at the picture! YUM!!!


This sounds & looks incredible. WOW. But you gotta help out an old English biddy living in Canada. What the heck is "crab boil"? I know I'm not going to find it here, so what's in it & what can I use to sub. I just have to try this cause this is my kind of meal. Sorry to be a pain


Have got to try this...definitely on my menu for this week!!!! great recipe!!!


What is crab dry boil? Never heard of it.


Hey Griz -
Back in Tennessee we would do the boil in a turkey fryer (little beer while you wait) and then drain and throw it out on two long 6 foot tables covered with newspaper - herd the guests over and start to graze..... it is very good and a real unique way to serve your guests.....also very little cleanup - nice post
