the sauce or "gravy" will have a seafood taste to it not fishy. as for the way i do it i clean them live then saute them in butter and garlic whole, when the just start to turn orange throw them in the gravy. Serve with linguine. You gotta use the fresh basil in the gravy.
Its better to sit in a boat and think about God, than to sit in a church and think about fishing.

This is one of my favorites.  Saute garlic, onions in oil.  Add a lot of tomato sauce as the grabs will absorb it.  Bring to a boil, season to taste with fresh basil, oregano, etc.. Add at least 2 dozen clean, de-shelled, fresh crabs. Once you add the crabs, cover pot, put stove on low and let it simmer for 4-6 hours.

seriously, if done right, there is nothing like it.  It is thee best sauce i every had.  The secret it, let those crabs simmer long enough so the juice gets into the sauce.  I like adding some crushed red pepper also to give it a little bang, but everyone is different.
