When buying crabs, you must choose a bigger female crab, so that the meat of crabs is fuller and the taste of crab yellow will be more delicious. Like those smaller crabs, they don't taste very good because they are underdeveloped, especially the crab yellow part, which looks very thin and slightly bitter.

2. Not fully steamed

If crabs are not fully steamed and opened, crab roe will be in a very thin state, and may also contain bacteria and parasites. After being completely steamed, the crab roe will solidify and form, so it must be completely steamed before eating crabs.

3. Crabs are dead crabs

Crabs are scavengers, so there are many bacteria in their bodies. After the death of crabs, these bacteria will multiply in large numbers, thus decomposing nutrients in the body, and the crab yellow will also change, which will also lead to the thinning of crab yellow and the loosening of crab meat. This kind of crab is not recommended.

Method of selecting crabs

1, look at the color

When choosing crabs, choose the ones with blue shells, hard texture and luster. Such crabs have better maturity and tender meat.

2. Look at your stomach

When choosing crabs, you can press the navel of crabs with your hands. You should choose the kind with a full navel, a bulging belly and a slightly yellow belly navel edge, which means that the crab meat is thick, the crab yellow is full and the taste is good.

Step 3 pinch crab legs

You can also pinch the crab's legs with your hands. If it is hard to pinch, it means that the crab is strong and the crab yolk must be full. If the crab legs are soft to pinch, it means that there is no meat, and the crab roe is naturally less.

4, divided into male and female

Crab yolk is the ovary of the crab, so it only exists in the female crab. If you want to eat crab roe, you should choose the female crab. Generally, female crabs with round navel and narrow triangle abdomen are male crabs.
