Selection method of bread crab:
It is best to use fresh bread crabs as the top grade. Bread crab's eyes are the most sensitive to the outside world. When picking, touch the eyes of the bread crab first, and the more intense reaction means that it is fresh. You can also turn it upside down to see if it can turn itself over and judge whether it is healthy and fresh enough.
When selecting, the crab shell should be green, and the crab belly should be white, not black; Second, the crab's tail should be red or yellow, and it should be tilted very high. The crab shell part should be separated from the navel root of the crab, and it feels full, indicating that the crab yolk is full.
Observe the bread crab in the sun or under the light. If the edge of the crab cover is opaque through sunlight, it means that the bread crab is full of fat. If you can see the transparent gap, then the bread crab is relatively empty.
