How to clean crabs?
The first method of washing crabs:
1, first prepare half a basin of water and an old toothbrush.
2, put the crab to be cleaned, don't worry that the crab will run around, it will get into the water. A few crabs will run out, just catch it or drive it into the water, and it will be quiet for a while. Soak for about ten minutes and you can clean it.
3. Grab both sides of the crab and wash the back, abdomen and mouth with a toothbrush.
4. Then clean the sides of the crab and the roots of the feet and pliers.
5. This is the most crucial step. You can't do it if you are timid. Grasp the pliers (use the toothbrush handle to lift the joints of the pliers from bottom to top, and use the thumb and forefinger of the crab to grasp the crab pliers along the root of the pliers. Individual fierce crabs can first press the pliers down a few times or knock a few times) to open the abdominal cover and squeeze out the excrement from the inside out in the middle.
6. Clean the dirt and crab pliers in the belly cover of the crab, so that the crab is cleaned.
7. Put the washed crabs into a pot with a half pot of clear water. (If the water is not drained, the crabs will run around.) After washing them all, soak them in clear water for about ten minutes before washing them, in order to clean the dirty water brought in when washing crabs.
Anyway, it's easy to eat clean crabs.

The second way to wash crabs:
If you are afraid that crabs will pinch your hands, prepare a pot of hot water with a temperature of about 45 degrees, that is, your hands will not feel hot when you put them in the water (the feet of crabs will fall off if they are too hot). Put the crab belly up into the water one by one, and when it turns over, it will have drunk hot water and fainted. The advantage of this is that the crab just fainted, and it won't pinch your fingers at your mercy, and it won't affect the delicacy of the crab. Then follow the cleaning steps.
1, if you eat steamed, you don't have to tie crabs. Just put the crab belly up in the steamer. But personally, I think steamed crabs taste dry, not delicious and have some fishy smell.
