Do crabs buy male crabs or female crabs?

Buy female crabs in September and male crabs in 10.

First of all, judge the month. The folk saying is to eat female crabs in September and male crabs in October. When eating crabs, the amount of crab meat is not the only basis for judging whether crabs are fat or thin, but the most important thing is to judge the amount of crab paste.

Generally, in September, the crab roe of the female crab is more mature and tastes more fragrant when cooked. Male crabs grow slowly, and crab paste will not mature until 10, so male crabs should be kept until 10.

Five way to distinguish good crabs from bad ones

1, buy big and avoid small

The first point in choosing crabs is to buy large ones and avoid small ones, because crabs have few edible parts, so choose large ones when buying them. Such crabs are not only good in meat quality, but also easier to eat!

Buy the green one, not the yellow one.

As we all know, with the continuous growth of crabs, the original crab shells will continue to fall off, while with the continuous fall off of crab shells, the newly grown crab shells will become darker and bluer. This kind of crab has a high maturity, and the crab paste and crab roe are full and delicious! Yellow-shelled crabs are generally not mature enough to taste delicious!

3. Look at your eyes

In order to prevent crabs from running around, many crabs sold in the market are tied together, so it is difficult for us to judge the freshness of crabs, so we need to judge them with the help of crab eyes. When we touch the crab's eyes with our hands, if the crab's eyes can rotate quickly, it means that the crab is very fresh and can be purchased with confidence, otherwise it means that the crab may not be fresh!

Step 4 smell it

When buying crabs, we can judge the quality of crabs by smelling them. Fresh crabs generally have a faint earthy smell, while deteriorated crabs also have peculiar smell or bad smell, so don't buy them!

5, look at the abdomen

Whether crabs are delicious or not depends mainly on whether crab paste and crab roe are enough, but these things are hidden under the crab shell, so it is difficult for us to observe them. We can judge from the crab's abdomen. Usually, the crab's abdomen has clear lines and looks bulging, indicating that crab roe and crab paste are very rich.
