They yield next to nothing. I do not eat them as often as Chris, but I have plenty of experience with blueclaws. Waste of time IMO.

Depends on which size you get, Jumbos a dozen can get you around 2 lbs of meat. Part of the fun is picking and eating them while saving some. One thing you never get from store bought is the mixed in spice from the cooking process. That takes crabcakes to the next level in my experience.
