If you're going to cook live seafood:
1. Learn how to kill or stun it properly first.
(hint - twatting it on a work surface is not the way i'd do it) A sharp knife through the back of it's head immediately prior to cooking will do it, on a lobster there's even a handy cross type thing to aim at.
2. Don't play with it or coo at it. At least do it the service of leaving it be, you are about to boil it and eat its bits so I reckon that'll do it on the pissing off stakes
3. Put it in the freezer for about 10 mins prior to cooking, at least then it will be asleep and won't feel the searing, boiling water if you fuck up section 1, ehich is easily done
4. GET YOUR TEN QUID OUT FOR A PAN BIG ENOUGH TO FIT THE FUCKER IN FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS FLUFFY
That concludes Boyo81's crab cooking rant. Thanks for tuning in. Next time, skinning kittens.

5. Don't bother, crabs are more trouble than they are worth.

Fiddly bastards. How dare they not be easier for me to eat!
Lobster on the other hand...

I doubt they'll be unconscious for much longer.

It starts by bashing them on a work surface and getting your missus to squeal about it a bit.
