Cleaning method of hairy crabs:

After the hairy crabs are bought, they are washed with water, and the body surface of the hairy crabs is simply cleaned, and then they are soaked in light salt water for a period of time, in order to make the hairy crabs spit out the dirty things in their stomachs. The concentration of salt water should be slightly salty. During soaking, it is necessary to change the water several times until the water spit out by the crab becomes clear.

Put the hairy crabs in a basin, add a proper amount of water, and then pour in a small amount of white wine to mix them evenly, so that the hairy crabs will be drunk and unconscious after drinking the water containing white wine, and they will have no strength to pinch people at will. If you are still uneasy, you can stun the hairy crabs with the back of a spatula, and then the hairy crabs are at your mercy. The advantage of using liquor is that it can effectively remove the fishy smell of hairy crabs and has a certain bactericidal effect.
