look

The high-quality crab has a blue-gray carapace, shiny, white abdomen, golden claws with yellow hairs, bright colors, a round navel protruding outward, and curved and firmly connected limbs, and is large and healthy. If the back is yellow, the meat is thin. In addition, if the activity is strong, the crabs crawling around are strong and good crabs.

Weigh by hand

For crabs whose visual appearance meets the requirements, they need to be weighed one by one, and the ones with heavy hand feel are fat crabs. This trick is not suitable for river crabs and live sea crabs because these crabs are often tied up.

fruit peel

Peel off the navel of the crab. If there are many neat and condensed crabs in the shell, this crab is a good crab.
