In a large pot with salted water, boil the potatoes until it is about half cooked. The time it takes depends on the size of your potatoes. With the size of potatoes I used it took 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, add the crabs, half of the marinade and boil for another 5 minutes on high heat with the pot covered.

After the crabs have cooked for 5 minutes, add in the corn, craw fish, prawns and the rest of the marinade and cook for 15 minutes still on high heat with the pot covered.
