Correct opening method of hairy crabs

Some people say that eating crabs is like eating melon seeds, and the fun of shelling is comparable to that of eating meat. "Break the crab feet first, then open the crab bucket" is the most common order to eat crabs. Here are the simple "six steps" to eat crabs:

Dismantle the crab legs. Dismantle the eight legs of the hairy crab and two tongs by hand. Don't be busy yet, save the crab legs for the last time. After cooling, the crab meat is more likely to be poked out or even sucked out.

A small cover-like part of the navel of the crab is the stomach of the crab and must not be eaten.

Open the crab cover and remove the crab stomach with a triangular cone in the middle of the crab cover to enjoy the crab yellow (paste) on the crab cover, which is also the most essential part of the crab. Dip it in vinegar and shredded ginger, and you can eat it without seasoning if you like the original flavor. Those who are cold should not eat the black crab clothes in the crab cover.

To eat a crab, first remove the crab lungs (gills) from the crab, and there is a hexagonal crab heart in the middle of the crab. Break the crab in half, just tear it along the crab's feet, and you can take the crab meat out and eat it.

After eating crab legs, you can eat crab legs. Crab legs mainly eat thighs, and you can suck out the whole crab leg meat by biting off both ends. If it doesn't work, the last piece of crab toe can also be used as a tool to poke out the crab leg meat.

Crab-eating pliers Crab-eating pliers are broken into three sections according to joints, which can be opened with special pliers for eating crabs and tasted carefully.
