How to choose crabs:
Strong vitality. There are many bacteria in crabs. Once dead, bacteria will multiply, and dead crabs are prone to food safety problems, such as nausea, vomiting and poisoning. When picking, you can turn the crab upside down, with your abdomen facing up. If it can be turned back soon, it will prove that it is more dynamic; If you can't turn back, it means poor vitality.
The shell is black. The normal color of crab shells is dark green and dark. If the crab shell is pale yellow, or even white spots appear, it may be that the crab has a history of breeding, or there is high temperature and hypoxia in breeding. This kind of crab is poor in quality and taste.
Belly-protruding crabs with protruding navel are generally fatter; The concave crab has less crab yellow. The navel should be clean and white. If it is gray-black, rust-colored and stained, it may be because of the poor breeding environment.
Mao Changhuang's crab leg fluff should be golden yellow, and the longer the fluff, the stronger it will be. The less fluff, the shorter it is, and the thinner it is.
