Drunken crab claws may contain parasites. Drunken crab claws are pickled with salt and wine and not cooked, so there is still the possibility of parasites. Home-made drunk crab claws are often difficult to maintain due to insufficient scientific research in recipe design, and the storage conditions cannot be guaranteed. To achieve a complete sterilization effect, therefore, try to eat as little of this food as possible.

The live crabs you bought should be rinsed with clean water to clean the dirt on the body surface, and then placed in light salt water for at least two hours. The appropriate salt water ratio is 7 pounds of water to 4 ounces of salt, so It allows the crab to continuously absorb and spit out water, and the dirty things in its stomach will also be spit out continuously.

Then scrub the body of the hairy crab, first the sides, back, abdomen and mouth, then scrub the roots of the crab legs and claws. The abdominal cover of the crab is the most important part to clean, because there are a lot of pollutants and excrement in the abdominal cover. When cleaning, this part must be squeezed out.

Generally steaming hairy crabs for about 40 minutes will completely kill the bacteria and parasites on them. If you are looking for some wild hairy crabs, be sure to eat less. This kind of hairy crabs may contain more parasites. Moreover, they are more tenacious and difficult to kill, so it is healthier to eat artificially bred ones.

In addition, the color of steamed hairy crabs is orange-yellow, very bright, which is visible to the naked eye.
