you can take both at one time and some say it's actually better for the crab. with one claw they will still try to defend territory and fight other crabs, but with both gone, they hunker down in the mud and wait until they get a new set. i don't know how long they take to regenerate, but a year and half seems reasonable. all you eat is the claws. on the blue crab, you eat the claws and the body meat
