Generally, when I go crabbing different to your blue crabs I catch mud crabs. I use chicken frames and they are really cheap because it’s the byproduct of getting everyone’s food but I normally use a combination of fish and chicken to catch the giant mud crabs.

I think that your mud crabs are like a cross between blue crabs and out stone crabs. For stone crab I use pigs feet and fish for bait

When I moved to Maryland all the idjits were hammering crabs, I made up my own crab disassembly process and it too used water to wash out the guts, and that disgusting mustard. When you have lots of extra crab, harvest the meat and freeze it. When you want a great crab treat, thaw those out and get the excess water out. Then dip those crab in heavy cream, the type you wip, then dredge them with a flour mix with dry mustard and very very finely chopped onion, put in some Old Bay if you like, JO is way too salty for me. Then add a tiny bit at a time more of the heavy cream until you can make a patty. Fry that in gobs of butter, salt them a bit after frying if you like. No junk filler like crackers of bread crumbs etc. Just crab and a dusting of flour. Enjoy.
