I. Soak in lightly salted water.

After the crab is bought home, first rinse the body surface of the dirt, and then put it into the saline water to soak for a period of time, the concentration of saline water to taste slightly salty is appropriate.

Second, brush the crab.

When the water spat out by the crab is no longer cloudy, you can start brushing, this step requires guts and certain skills, pay attention to prevent the crab's pincers from pinching your fingers. You can use your thumb and middle finger to pinch the left and right sides of the crab with force and hold the shell towards the top. This method of grasping has proven to be the safest way to not get pinched.

Once you have the crab firmly in your grasp, take it under the faucet and turn on a thin stream of water, then you can scrub the crab with a toothbrush, rinsing it as you go. Brush hard, especially the hair part of the crab, because the hair is the dirtiest.

The specific steps and methods of brushing crabs are like this?

1, first brush the crab's body sides, back, abdomen and mouth, and then brush the roots of the feet and pincers.

2, the next step is to clean the belly part, this step is very critical, because there are a lot of dirt and crab feces in the belly. Before cleaning the belly part, you must hold the crab's pincers firmly to prevent being pinched.
