Have nonrof you ever cleaned a crab? You put the body over a small metal bar and hit the shell to "split" the crab then flip it and pull the legs from each side off. They are alive during that too.

Why would they be alive after you cook them? You don't crack and clean a crab before you cook it. You do that after you cook it.

People split the crab right on the docks after catching them sometimes.

You can clean it before you cook it. Here is a video of the method that many do in the PNW. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENZ2KEUrx50&t=90

JFC, I stand corrected. He's just going to toss out what most around the world consider delicacy! Cruelest preparation possible. I don't get it at all. Fuck this guy.
