    I've steamed crabs or clams in a big soup pot with like cups turned upside down or a small cookie grate on top with the shellfish on top of that. It's not ideal but it works, you might try to jerryrig something like that maybe.
    my junk is ugly

    No wonder you are so crabby, I was crabby, too when I paid 35$ to split with the wife and was just teased. All got to do is put a half inch of water in the pot and put a lid on it!

    You can boil a little water in a soup pot, place a colander on the top, fill it with the crab, and cover the colander.

    Easy clean up, too.

    So how was it @AZ Jim ? How much a pound? (20$ here) and did you get a belly full, or just a tease? It would take 80$ for me to get a bellyful!

    I am not sure what we paid for them but it was pricey. I filled up but now at my age I don't have the appetite I did at your age. Seafood is ridiculously priced.

    Aint it, though! This winter I got a gig driving a boat for my pal, a commercial fisherman, I drive the boat and he throws a 12 ft cast net for mullet.

    It can be hit or miss, chicken or feathers, he tells me that he can net about 4 grand a month, when it pans out!

    60 years ago, in my first marriage my bro in law was a market fisherman in San Diego (where I lived at the time), he used to give me lobsters, halibut, cod and bass. I didn't appreciate it then like I would now. That was then, now is now...

    People seem to not understand that when you boil crab in tap water, you boil the taste out of the crab.
