There are times when river crabs given as gifts by friends and relatives tend to be in a big basket or a big box, and how to store them if you can't eat them all at once? Introducing three methods that can store live crabs for about 1 week time.

(1) Live crabs can be placed in the refrigerator freezer, not in the freezer.

(2) You can also store them "dry" (without water), but make sure they are in a cool place or they will die of heat. It is recommended to use a basin and put the crab in the basin. No water should be put in the pot, and the top of the pot should be covered with wet water plants or soft vegetable leaves. This not only ensures that the river crab's living environment is not dry or wet, but also allows it to get sufficient oxygen.

(3) Bundled crabs can also be stored with water, but remember that the water should not be high enough to cover the back of the crab so that it can breathe on the surface.

Remember, these three methods of preservation will allow bound crabs to survive for about 1 week, but it is best to eat them as soon as possible. Don't untie the threads used to tie river crabs, as this reduces energy consumption and preserves them for longer.
