Just kidding with you bro, I assumed it would be called a boil. Learn something new every day.

Boiling is for you misguided southerners, they need to be steamed!

We call it a crab feast around here.

Sorry guys, these aint no peenie little blue crabs. Out here in January, many non profit org's run "Crab Feeds" to raise funds. Dungeness crab, usually 2lbs and larger. Sometimes pasta and bread is also served. Usually they precrack all the legs but a nutcracker or small hammer can be helpful. I have helped out at a couple in the past, it's a mad house keeping up with all the crazed crab eaters!

Thanks for all of the replies. This is being hosted by the local Men's club in some hall. Unfortunately I don't think they allow smoking; yet that won't stop me from bring a few stogies in the event there is room & time for a post "feed" smoke. Booze is covered as this is an open bar event.

Like Bob said: As much as crab & alcohol as I can stuff in me. Should be a good time. I'll try to snap some pics with the iPhone to document the destruction.
