The method Sebates posted about pan frying them on the half shell is good way to cook them. We used panko however. I did shove the knife in the palm of my hand once when trying to cut the shell off. Damn things can really get their lips tight. On the upside, my buddy fixed my cut palm with superglue which was ok except for the piece of paper towel that got glued to my hand also.
