How to Pick Crabs in Baltimore // The Index: Ep. 1

Picking crabs is meant to be a communal experience, best enjoyed with the breeze of the water rolling in and an ice-cold beer in front of you, but it can be done anywhere. Just put down some newspaper or brown craft paper on the table for easy cleanup and toss a few dozen crabs on top to get started. You’ll need tools, of course: a knife comes in handy for cracking the shell, and a wooden or metal mallet for crushing the legs. Be sure to take your time picking the meat out so you don’t miss any of the good stuff.
