If you've always avoided cooking crab, we get it, it can be intimidating — what do we do with those claws? But after a few lessons on de-shelling a crab, you'll be on your way to make your very own crustacean dishes right in your kitchen.
Canada's actually the world’s largest producer of snow crab, a type of crustacean found in the North Atlantic and North Pacific oceans. But if you don't live on the east coast, chances are you can still find imported fresh crab in your city.
