Bring the crab to the boil on a high heat and cook for about 10 minutes in the salt and water.

Once cooked, take the grab out of the water and place to one side until it's cool enough to handle.

Remove the claws and reserve to be used separately.

Crack the crab open and remove the white meat, shred the meat through the tips of your fingers, making sure there is no small bones left.

Serve with some warm toast.
