What is a three-eyed crab?

Three-eyed crab is a kind of crab. Three-eyed crab is also called three-eyed crab, three-eyed crab, red star swimming crab, gun crab and so on. The most striking feature is that the head and breastplate are spindle-shaped, slightly raised, and there are three obvious warty protrusions on the surface, which mainly belong to warm-water crabs. Third-order crabs are widely distributed in Japanese, Hawaiian, Philippine, Australian, Malay Archipelago, China and other coastal areas. Their living environment is seawater, which is more common in the muddy seabed with a depth of 10-30 meters.

Three-eyed crab is delicious and nutritious. Three-eyed crabs whose ovaries have been mated but not laid eggs have higher nutritional value, and are richer in protein, fat and vitamins, which can be compared with river crabs in autumn and winter. When eating crabs, clean the impurities on the surface with a brush, remove the inedible parts such as gills, sandbags and internal organs, and steam them at high temperature before eating.
