Because there are many kinds of small crabs on the seashore, it is not recommended to eat them when it is uncertain whether they are safe or not. Moreover, small crabs have less meat and hard shells, which are more difficult to eat and cheaper, so few people catch them. Besides, fishing without catching small crabs is conducive to the good operation of the ecology.

Why no one eats small crabs by the sea?

Common crabs on the seashore are stone crabs, blue crabs, bread crabs, swimming crabs, steamed bread crabs and so on.

Dead crabs are not recommended to be eaten, because after they die, many pathogenic microorganisms and parasites will multiply, and they also contain a lot of toxins, which will be harmful to health.
