Yes. Buy them anywhere. Leave them on the counter for a couple of days. Undercook. Eat.

The only kind I've seen are just steamed w/ the typical wasabi/gochujang/soy-sauce to dip it in, unfortunately.

Pohang is well known for King Crab. It's not in Seoul Obviously but if you want awsome crab so that's the place to go.

They have a whole street lined up with King Crab resturants.... In fact the bridge that connects you over there...has a giant crab statue... I really recommend going.

While on the subject, the proper way to eat a crab is to flip it on it's backside and attack it's weak point for massive damage.

Curious so, do Koreans eat crab with butter?

Baltimore, Maryland is the place to get great seafood. Very Happy You need old bay seasoning!

No_hite, it's funny you mention that what set off my craving was a scene in the Wire (filmed in Baltimore) where they were at an open air restaurant cracking crab...mmmm I started missing fresh crab from Seattle Razz

Funny, I was just home for vacation and made sure I bought a couple of big tins of Old Bay. I like it on chicken.

We had steamed crab for lunch today. I got three whole halves in my 5-inch diameter bowl. If I could have figured out how to extract the ounce of meat from under the exoskeleton some butter would probably have gone very well with it.

Apparently there's some all you eat crab/lobster place on Yongsan. I dunno if the hubsters will want to be around soldiers on his r&r, but I've heard it's really good there. I'll find out the name.

Go to the Noryangjin fish market, bring some butter, go buy a crab, bring it to a restaurant upstairs, they cook it, they shell it, they melt the butter, you eat it. Mashida!

It's in the Main Post Club, but only on Saturday nights. I've never been but I've been told it's great. Good luck!

I second this. I was there a few weeks ago and wished I had thought of bringing butter. I'd pick up some tiger prawns while youre at it.
