Dont throw back those ugly crabs! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Pressure washer would be a good idea. I used a hog pressure nozzle and it didn't do much for the outside, but when I took the carapace off it worked great for the nastiness inside.

I've always called them spider crabs. I would suggest pulling off the legs to cook, Then you can pull off the carapace (kinda like a skull cap) and clean the insides before boiling. But they do make some good eats.
