boiling a limit of 10 dungeness crabs

Any Maryland boy will tell you to "steam" crabs so they don't get
waterlogged. ;-) Rock salt and old bay spice

How a thin shelled blue crab might cook is probably quite a bit different
than the much harder Dungeness.

But I agree, steaming blue crabs is the only way to go. Just don't use
plain water, use a mix of water, beer and vinegar. Then it's just a simple
matter of spreading an old bay and rock salt mix on top of each layer of
crabs. But given the rate of over $200/bushel this past year it's becoming
a bit expensive. Just make sure to stick with cheap beer, Natty Boh, hon!
