Tips

(1) Hairy crabs must be cooked and eaten when they are alive. Never eat dead hairy crabs! Because dead hairy crabs secrete a toxin that is easy to be poisoned. .

(2) When steaming hairy crabs, rinse the crabs first, and pay attention to putting the crab cover down on the plate to avoid waste caused by crab roe flowing out. It takes about 15 minutes to steam the steamer. If you don't trust it, it doesn't hurt to extend it for a few minutes.

(3) Some parts of the crab can't be eaten, such as the crab's navel (in the belly of the crab, the male crab crab mask is triangular, and the female crab is oval), the crab's respiratory system (the part with white feathers on both sides of the crab shell), and the crab's heart (in the middle of the crab's flesh, a small white piece, like the protein of a small fried egg). It is said that crab heart is extremely cold, and people who are weak may have a stomachache after eating it.
