1. Can you eat dead blue crabs?

Some people say that it is edible when the body has just died, but it cannot be eaten if it has been dead for a long time; while others say that it cannot be eaten because it is poisonous. So which statement is correct?

Our advice is that you should not eat blue crabs when they are about to die or are already dead. Because blue crabs themselves contain more pathogens, the pathogens are suppressed when the blue crabs are alive. Once the blue crabs die, the pathogens begin to multiply in large numbers. When the human body eats this kind of dead crab, it is easy to cause some diseases.

2. How to choose three-door mud crabs

1. It is better to choose one weighing two to three hundred grams. Please note that the bigger the blue crab, the better it is. Male crabs that are too large may have already mated with female crabs, and their meat will be very loose and the taste will be relatively not that good.

2. Look at the bottom of the blue crab. If the bottom of the blue crab is white or even transparent, there is usually not much meat; if the bottom is dirty, the meat will be fatter.

3. Lift up the blue crab and look at the serrated top of the crab shell against the light. If it is completely opaque, it is relatively plump. Otherwise it is not full.

There is another trick to choosing blue crabs, which is to turn it over. If it can turn over by itself, it is a fresh and good crab and you can buy it!
