Hairy crabs bought in the market: 1-3 days. ?

If you buy a hairy crab from the market, because it has experienced the bumps of long-distance transportation, it may be stored in the merchant's shop for a few days, and its vitality will drop, so the storage time can be greatly shortened. Generally, as long as we pay attention to the temperature and humidity, we can generally raise 1-3 days.

Ways to preserve hairy crabs:

1, keep fresh in a cool environment?

If the local temperature is below 20 degrees Celsius, the bought hairy crabs can be kept in a cool place at home. First tie the hairy crabs and put them into the basin, then put a layer of shallow water. Be careful not to let the water drown the hairy crabs' mouths to ensure their breathing. No drainage is needed, but the basin should be covered with moist aquatic plants or vegetable leaves to ensure the moist environment in the basin. Then put the basin in a cool place and it can be stored for 1-2 days.

2. Cold storage?

Put the bound hairy crabs in an uncovered box, then cover the box with a semi-dry wet towel and store it in a refrigerator at 3-6 degrees Celsius. This can last for 2-3 days.

3. Water tank preservation?

This preservation method is suitable for businesses selling hairy crabs. Hairy crabs are usually put into a water tank equipped with clean water and oxygen devices, during which they can be fed, and generally can be kept for 5- 10 days or even longer.
