How to choose treasure crab
If you want to ask how long the ultra-low price can last, it is hard to say now, everyone should eat and cherish it.
However, once the demand rises, the price will also rise, and some merchants will shoddy.
Here, I would like to share with you some points for attention when choosing Dungeness crab.
👉 If you choose to buy live crabs, you must choose the ones that look the liveliest. Those crabs that move slowly and cannot be poked may have gradually lost their vitality and are not very fresh.
👉 And after you bring it home, you must cook it as soon as possible, because after 10-12 hours, the crabs that leave the living environment will start to secrete "unhappy" neurotoxins and destroy the meat quality.
👉 When choosing, it would be great if you can feel the weight of the crab with your hands. For crabs of the same size, you must choose the heavy one, because the light one may only be about to change its shell. It looks big, but there is not much crab meat.
👉 If you want to buy cooked Dungeness crabs, if you can, choose crabs with all the legs and bent legs, which proves that they were cooked when they were alive; on the contrary, if the crab legs are in a suspended state, or less A few legs, so it is likely that this crab was cooked after death and was very stale.
👉 When cooked crabs are fresh, it is recommended to choose larger ones, the crab meat is firmer~
👉 Also, make sure the shell of the crab is bright red and there are no dark spots on it.
As for the method, the most classic Dungeness crab is steamed, so that you can directly taste the original umami of the tender crab meat.In addition, stir-fried crab with scallion and ginger, baked crab with salted egg yolk, curry crab or crab porridge are all good, which can be used to deal with cooked crabs bought home, or can’t finish the frozen part.
