Why do some people eat king crabs and only eat crab legs instead of crabs?

I think everyone has heard of King Crab, a precious seafood. A king crab in a hotel sells for thousands of dollars, which is often seen in the seafood market. But because of the high price, not many people buy it to eat. Now, isn't the broadcasting industry on the rise? We often see many anchors eating king crabs on the Internet, and then we will find a question: Why do they eat only "crab legs" and not crabs?

Many viewers will wonder, is the crab body of the king crab not delicious? Actually, it's not. The real answer may be beyond your expectation. Let's learn about some king crabs first. Although the king crab has the word "crab", it is not a real crab. It has only three pairs of big strides, and the longest foot can reach 1 meter. The crab's body and legs are covered with spikes. It is red all over and has a pair of pliers. It looks terrible and huge, hence the name "King Crab".

The best place for king crabs is crab legs, followed by crab tongs, and almost no one eats crab bodies. First of all, because the meat on crab legs is the most complete, easy to take out and eat, and the meat on crab legs is elastic, delicious, fresh and smooth to eat, so people like it best; There is also a lot of meat in crab claws, but it is not as fresh as the meat on crab legs, which is the second.

Then why doesn't anyone eat crabs? First of all, because the crab body structure of King Crab is very complicated and the meat quality is very little, the key point is that King Crab has no crab yolk that people like to eat, which makes many people have no intention to open the crab shell and eat crab meat. Moreover, fishermen revealed that the crab body of the king crab may contain heavy metals, which are generally concentrated in the crab body, but not in the crab legs and crab tongs. For safety reasons, people only eat crab legs, not crab bodies.

So this is the most critical reason, and the crab of king crab is easy to hide parasites, and people are more repulsive to it. People in China generally decorate crabs and never eat them. Foreigners simply throw crabs into the trash can, leaving only delicious crab legs and crab tongs to eat. If you go to a western restaurant to eat king crabs, you usually only eat crab legs instead of crabs.

King crabs are expensive because wild king crabs are precious, but their reproductive ability is not bad, so the number is objective. If fishermen catch king crabs, they will sell them. It is said that king crabs have been artificially raised now, and maybe in the near future, everyone can eat delicious king crabs.
