Our Lord clearly says “You may eat any kind of fish that has fins and scales. But don’t eat anything living in the water that does not have fins and scales. It is not a clean food for you.

Steamed in a big pot !With lots of butter in garlic for sure ,don't usually use lemon but maybe next time! But I also make a pot of some kind of pasta to go with it usually with the red sauce.

[@roadrunner8428]

I am making these crab legs tonight. I wish they were King crab but not at $65.00 a lb. These legs were $10.00 lb. So I place the 4 lbs frozen from the store in a large aluminum pan, 2 cups of water and tightly cover with foil, then onto the grill with the cover down at the lowest setting for about 25 mins. They steam up very evenly. In the meantime I make the garlic lemon butter dip and set aside. Oh heavenly. Happy Valentine's Day ! :)

First, thank you for this entertaining and informative video. We enjoy watching your presentations and making a lot of your recipes! Second, for frozen legs in the Instant Pot, do I need to thaw the legs first? Your description mentioned that the four minutes was for frozen or fresh legs so I assume thawing is recommended before steaming. Thanks again!
