Cooking crabs and lobsters can be slightly daunting -- there's the drama of putting them into a pot of boiling water, and breaking them down is no walk in the park. Luckily A&M happen to have plenty of experience with these clawed creatures. Today, they're sharing their crab and lobster tricks with us, just in time to test recipes that were entered into our shellfish contest.

If you've got any tips or tricks for breaking down crabs and lobsters, share them with us in the comments!
