I have boiled, steamed and broiled them in the past.  My latest adventure was to poach in butter (info on Pinterest).  Yummy! 

I think they maintain more flavor than boiling.  I'll take them any way they are fixed.  They serve them deep fried at several places here.  Don't want to share the flavor with breadcrumbs!  I'll take mine ala Lobster.

This is how my mother used to make lobster tails growing up - but with lobster and crabs we always used Old Bay in the boil.  We RARELY had them bc of the price (family of 6) but on rare occastions we did this is how she made them.  I am allergic to mayo (they think its bc of preservatives used in most) so for crabcakes, she used to leave out the mayo and an egg gave it enough moisture for me to eat.  

That's my issue having crab cakes at restaurant - they usually have mayo in them so I just buy the crabmeat and make with breadcrumbs, egg and seasoning.
