Note: how to choose crabs? Generally speaking, crabs must be fresh, so they must be alive. Any size is OK, but it must be heavy. Because the mother has more crab roe, the mother is better. According to people familiar with the industry, careful selection of crab requires "five looks": a look at the crab shell. Where the shell back is dark green with light, it is thick and strong; the shell back is yellow, mostly thin and weak. Second, look at the navel. If the navel protrudes, one is full of cream and fat; if the navel is concave, most of them are short of fat. Third, look at the claws. All chela feet are healthy when they are covered with villi, while chela feet are soft when they are not covered with villi. Fourth, vitality. If you turn a crab around with its abdomen facing upward, you can quickly turn it back with a sting bullet. If you turn it back, it has strong vitality and can be preserved. If you can't turn it back, it has poor vitality and can't be stored for a long time. Five, look at the male and female. The female crab is selected in August and September of the lunar calendar, and the male crab is selected after September, because the gonads of male and female crabs mature at these two times, and the taste of nutrition is the best. Carefully studying and referring to the "five views", we can select high-quality crabs from a large number of crabs.
