Because everyone eats hairy crabs in order to eat a "fresh", and after the crabs are put into the frozen layer, they will freeze to death and are not fresh; Moreover, after the raw crabs are frozen, the crab meat will shrink, and the next time they are taken out to eat, the crab meat will become dry and not delicious.
2 How to store hairy crabs alive 1. Preserve in a cool environment If the local temperature is below 20 degrees Celsius, the bought hairy crabs can be stored in a cool place at home.
First, tie the hairy crabs and put them into the basin, then put a shallow layer of water, and be careful not to let the water cover the hairy crabs' mouths, so as to ensure the hairy crabs' breathing. You don't need to drain water, but you should cover the basin with moist aquatic plants or vegetable leaves to ensure the moist environment in the basin.
Then put the basin in a cool place, so that it can be stored for 1-2 days.
2. Refrigeration and preservation: Pack the bound hairy crabs in uncovered boxes, then cover the boxes with semi-dry wet towels and store them in the refrigerator at 3-6 degrees Celsius. This can be preserved for 2-3 days or even longer, but it is safe to eat it as soon as possible.
3 Can hairy crabs be frozen when cooked? Hairy crabs can be frozen after being cooked.
If the cooked hairy crabs are frozen again, the crab meat will not shrink, and in the frozen layer of the refrigerator at -4~-24 degrees Celsius, the reproduction of bacteria will be inhibited, which can keep the crab meat longer.
Specific practice: let the cooked hairy crabs cool, then put them in a bag and seal them, and put them directly in the frozen layer. This can save 1-2 days.
Note: 1. Cooked crabs should be eaten as soon as possible to avoid spoilage. Once the crab goes bad or smells bad, it must not be eaten, because the histamine released from crab meat can easily lead to food poisoning or allergies.
Cooked crabs taken out of the refrigerator must be thoroughly heated before they can be eaten.
4 is the hairy crab washed alive? It is generally recommended not to kill the crab before steaming, so it is washed when the hairy crab is alive.
However, if the crab is alive, the pliers will pinch people randomly, so it takes some skills to clean the live crab, such as not untie the rope to clean it, adding white wine to make the crab drunk and then cleaning it.
1. Do not untie the rope for cleaning 1. Do not untie the rope of the hairy crabs, then prepare half a basin of clean water and soak the hairy crabs for 10 minute.

3. After checking that there is no sludge, throw it into another bucket and wake them up with clear water to cook and eat.
Third, soak the crabs in hot water and wash them again 1. Prepare a pot of warm water of about 45℃, that is, just put your hands in the water and don't feel hot. If it is too hot, the feet of the hairy crabs will take off.
