Let me see Aquaman do this!
Learn how to put a mean and nasty crab to sleep and be the hit of your next seafood party!
My great Uncle Funzie taught me how to put blue claw crabs to sleep back when I was just a little kid spending my vacations at Money Island, New Jersey.
So I am just passing the knowledge on to others to have some fun with it.
Disclaimer: I am a seasoned professional who has been catching, handling, cleaning, cooking and eating blue claw crabs since the 1st grade so respect those claws and try this trick at your own risk!
Blue claw crabs are some of the meanest, nastiest and temperamental creatures ever put on this earth when confronted.
So be very careful when you attempt to put them to sleep as you may get pinched if you botch the ritual!
And for goodness sake, keep your pets away from these clawed devils as I have seen the biggest, most ferocious dogs and some courageous cats cower in fear after taking a claw to the snout!
Check out the demonstration:

Here’s How To Put a Blue Crab to Sleep
Approach the crab from behind and firmly hold the claws. I lightly hold them down with my foot and then reach behind and grip the claws.
With your thumbs, rub the top of the claws for at least 20 seconds while maintaining a firm grip on the claws. I’ve been putting crabs to sleep for so long, I just have a feel when they go down for the count, but 20 seconds or so usually does the trick.
Set the crab down gently and it will stay comatose in an almost trance like state.
To wake the crab up, just thump the shell with your finger once or twice and stand back as it will be ready to battle and bare its claws!
After I hypnotize a few of the crabs for the crowd, it’s time to steam them in old bay seasoning and enjoy the crab feast with family and friends.
I don’t know if this trick works for other crab species as the blue crab is the only crab I care to catch and eat in my area which is the northeastern United States – but let me know.
Give it a try the next time you have a crab party – the kids actually put down their smart phones and love watching this trick and the girls think you are some kind of salt water Tarzan, lol!
