1, using plastic buckets or pots for storage. Prepare a 30-50 centimeters high plastic bucket/pot with smooth inner wall to avoid hairy crabs running off. Fresh hairy crabs into which can not be stacked too much, or hairy crabs will die due to oxygen depletion, and then add water, as long as not over the claws of the hairy crabs of Yangcheng Lake can be, so that the main purpose is to moisturize. There is no need to cover the container, check the hairy crabs every day, and consume the hairy crabs with insufficient vitality and broken claws in time.

2. Refrigerator storage. Hairy crabs feet and chelae tied up to reduce its energy consumption, the temperature to about 10-15 degrees best, the hairy crabs flat, rinse with water, can cover a wet towel in the top of the crab is best, into the refrigerator freezer area to save, check regularly, generally can be saved for 3-5 days, is still alive. (Note: the southern green crab is saltwater crab, should not be stored in this way)

If there is a dead crab due to poor storage, dead crabs are not recommended to eat. A large amount of bacteria will quickly grow in the body of dead crabs, so they should not be eaten, especially when the weather is hot. Moreover, crabs lose their original fresh flavor when they are dead. There is a histidine substance in the body of the crab that will break down the crab meat, releasing strange flavors and greatly reducing the taste.

Buy back the hairy crabs can best be eaten at once, either do not buy too much at once, cooked crab can be placed in the refrigerator, but it is best not to eat stored for too long cooked crabs, crabs contain high protein, stored cooked crabs are very susceptible to bacterial invasion and contamination, so it is desirable to eat crabs now burned, do not store. In case you can't eat it all, the rest must be kept in a clean, cool and ventilated place, and when you eat it, you must go back to the pot and then cook and steam it through.
