How to kill live crabs?

1, poke chopsticks directly between the crab's eyes and turn them out slightly, so that the crab is in suspended animation, but the meat remains fresh and delicious.

2. The edges on the left and right sides of the crab are the weakest and softest parts. You can peel off the crab's shell against the edge of the table.

3. After peeling off the shell, clean the food bag attached to the center of the shell.

Small coup to clean the intestines and stomach of crabs!

(1) salt water immersion

The bought live crabs should be washed with clear water first, then soaked in light salt water for a period of time, so that the crabs can spit out the dirty things in their stomachs. Pay attention to changing more water during soaking until the water spit out by crabs is clean. Then hold its back with your hands and hang it close to the edge of the disc, so that the pliers can just hold the thread.

(2) soaking in white wine

Let crabs soak in wine for 5- 10 minutes and take a full bath. Through the stimulation of wine, the stolen goods in the body are discharged, and the crabs are allowed to drink white wine at the same time. Wine can not only remove the fishy smell of crabs, but also make crabs lose their struggle, which is convenient for subsequent operations. Of course, if there is no white wine at home, you can burn it with warm water at 45 degrees. When the water temperature is high, the crab's feet and pliers will fall off. I think anyone who has cooked crabs will realize this, so as not to directly burn crabs to death and affect their nutrition and taste. Put the crab in warm water for about 3-5 minutes, and the crab will not move.

Method for cleaning crab viscera:

(1) Stomach removal: Located in the first half of crab shell, with or without mud, it is the place where bacteria grow and multiply. Crab stomach is commonly known as "crab monk", that is, the triangular bone bag in the center of the front edge of the back shell contains dirty sand.

(2) Intestine removal: it is located in the middle of the crab navel, showing a black line shape.

(3) Crab removal center: located in the middle of crab roe. Crab heart is extremely cold and hexagonal, also called "hexagonal meat". It is in the center of the crab, under a black film coat, and can be picked out with crab toes when eating.

(4) Gill removal: There are two rows of soft things like eyebrows on the belly of crabs, also called "crab blindness". There are more pathogens and dirt on both sides of the crab.

Tips: The above parts are dirty and have no edible value. Don't chew indiscriminately to avoid food poisoning.

If crabs are not thoroughly cleaned when they are eaten, it is not good for your health, especially the internal organs of crabs, which need to be carefully cleaned. Let's take a look at how to clean the internal organs of crabs and the three steps to clean crabs.

Cleaning crabs Step 2: Brush crabs.

When the crab spits out the pollutants in its stomach, it is necessary to start scrubbing the crab with water. When scrubbing, be careful not to have too much water. Brush crabs with a toothbrush, and use force when brushing.

Specific steps for brushing crabs:

(1) Brush the sides, back, abdomen and mouth of the crab first, and then brush the feet and roots of the crab pliers.

(2) The belly cover of crab is the key part to be cleaned, because there are a lot of pollutants and excrement in the belly cover. Before cleaning, the excrement in the abdominal cover is squeezed out first, and then the dirt in the abdominal cover is cleaned with a brush.

(3) Finally, brush the crab claws and rinse them with clear water.
