Introduction: Last year, when the Chinese New Year was approaching, I wanted to buy some crabs for the elderly at home to eat. I was really treated as a "big injustice seed" by the vendors selling crabs. At that time, I negotiated the price with the seafood boss. When I was picking crabs, the boss pretended to be picking big crabs for me, but after I got home, I found that there was actually a big male crab inside, which was still dead. Isn't this a pure big injustice seed! Other steamed female crabs still cry when they tasted, which was really speechless. A friend of mine who is engaged in breeding seafood told me: "When you buy crabs in the future, you just say "Is it bitter?" "These words are experts at first, and others dare not fool you easily."
Why do the crabs you bought are bitter and thin?
First of all, the water quality of crabs is not good, so the crabs raised are seriously polluted, so there will be a lot of harmful substances in the body, making crab meat and yellow bitter to taste. Secondly, the crabs are not fully mature yet. Another thing is that the internal organs of the crab are not processed cleanly. When we eat crabs, we must first remove the crab cheeks, then remove the crab stomach and crab heart, etc. Because the crab cheeks grow next to the crab's body, they belong to the crab's respiratory organs, with various bacteria and dirt on it; the crab stomach is in the first half of the crab body, and there is a lot of sludge and harmful bacteria inside; the crab heart is tightly connected to the crab stomach and is located in the middle of the crab roe, which tastes bitter. If it is not removed, it will taste extremely bitter.
Next, the editor will share with you the correct method of selecting crabs. It is really difficult for the seller to make you a wronged seed!
Look at the crab shell at first glance. Choose the color
The crab shell is green and has a lot of luster and will have a little hardness to the touch. This kind of meat is strong, but the crab shells are yellowish and are usually thinner and have less meat. So when choosing crabs, you should choose one with a green color. In addition, the tail of the crab should be raised high, and the touch feels a bit surging. This means that the crab roe is very full and worth buying.
2. Check the belly button. Distinguish male and female
. When we eat crabs, we must eat crab roe rich to be satisfied. We should usually choose female crabs, and the navel of female crabs is round: after September, we should choose male crabs, and the navel of male crabs is pointed and long. But whether it is female or male crab, it is very wrong. I also secretly tell you a little trick: when choosing, we can use a little force to press the navel of the crab. If it cannot be pinched, it means that the meat in the crab is fat and there are many crab roe. If it can be pinched at once or it is soft, it means that the meat of the crab is less and empty, and the navel of the crab is slightly raised, which means that it is fully mature and can be cooked for eating.
Three-dimensional appearance weigh the weight
Finally, fresh crabs weigh heavier. In the same size, heavier means that there is more crab meat and more crab roe. Therefore, larger and thicker crabs are of the best quality. When choosing, find a crab of the right size and heavier size as the standard, and then select one with the same weight according to this standard.
When people buy crabs in the future, they just follow the editor’s method to choose crabs to ensure that the boss dare not lie to you. Thank you for watching. If this article is helpful to you today, then thank your family for following, double-clicking and like, and thank you for your support!
