The way to distinguish male and female crabs is to look at the abdomen, bottom and navel.

1. Look at the abdomen

As the saying goes, "Male crabs wear thongs, and female crabs wear diapers." This sentence is very suitable for describing male and female crabs. The aquatic product owner told me , you can easily distinguish male and female crabs by turning the crab over and looking at the abdomen. Generally, the shell on the abdomen of male crabs is pointed, while the shell on the abdomen of female crabs is round, so you can distinguish them at a glance.

2. Look at the bottom

Look at the bottom of the crab, which is the crab’s reproductive organs. If the reproductive organs are round, it is a female crab. If the reproductive organs are pointed, That means it's a male crab. Anyway, just remember that the round one is female and the male one is pointed.

3. Look at the umbilicus

Another way is to look at the umbilicus, which is under the shell of the crab’s abdomen. If it is sharp and narrow, it means it is a male crab. , if it is wide and round, it means it is a female crab. This is similar to the above two methods of differentiation, and it also depends on the difference between round and pointed.

The quality of the crab

If the back of the crab is shiny and the crab is heavier, it means that the crab has more meat. If you are buying a female crab, then Pay attention to its tail, which looks very thick, which means that the crab roe is relatively rich. Also, check whether the belly button is full. If it is full, white, and raised, it is generally very fat.
