oh so you don't keep the "shorts"??? we know how ya like bugs - heheheh...
there's is a toxic membrane in the head portion of a lobster - if you miss in the piercing the toxins may be released into the rest - so do be careful...
as a purist, i steam mine - in a steamer with a basket insert bring 2 inches of water to a rapid boil and insert the basket with the sea spiders inside - after 12 - 15 minutes grab an antenna and hold it stright up so that the body is suspended - if the critter falls off it's done...
you can boil them but they will absorb the water, so you have to be careful you don't scald yourself in the picking...
also, you can cook them ahead and nuke them later at 2 minutes on screach - wait a minute then again at 1 minute on screach...
Buzz and i know a guy that just throws them in the nuke alive to watch them hop and skip - it's like watching a cat with a 220 plug up it's ass - sorry peta - i'm a meat eater...
