Frozen crabs are edible.

But it is necessary to distinguish what kind of frozen crab it is, because there are two types of frozen crabs: fresh frozen crabs and sub-frozen crabs, and fresh frozen crabs and sub-frozen crabs are divided into two types of crabs with different meanings. Because fresh frozen crabs are those crabs that have just been caught and can be eaten normally, while sub-frozen crabs are those crabs that cannot be sold out.

Most of these crabs that cannot be sold out are old, weak and remnant crabs, and those crabs that have just been caught are frozen in time, so these freshly frozen crabs are much better than sub-frozen crabs. , so when we eat frozen crabs, we must clearly identify which ones are fresh frozen crabs and which ones are sub-frozen crabs.

How to prepare frozen crabs

There are many ways to eat frozen crabs. If you eat frozen crabs, they must be cooked.

1. Steam. Wash the frozen crabs, sprinkle some salt on the surface, then put some scallions and ginger around the crabs, and then steam them at high temperature. After steaming, it tastes particularly delicious when dipped in vinegar.

2. For fried crabs, use a lot of cooking oil. After the oil is heated, put the crabs into the pot and add some salt and soy sauce in the middle. The taste is also very delicious.

Frozen crabs are not as delicious as fresh ones. The water in the frozen crab meat will crystallize and expand and pierce the cell wall. After thawing, this moisture will be lost with heating, and the meat of the crab will feel noticeably dull. Therefore, it is best not to freeze crabs. Try to eat them all at once. If you can't finish them, steam them and refrigerate them at 0-4 degrees Celsius, and eat them as soon as possible. But be sure to heat it thoroughly before eating, because seafood is more likely to be contaminated by microorganisms and the taste is not as delicious as cooking it directly.
