How to Choose & Clean Live Crabs // An easy & simple step-by-step video 如何选杀活螃蟹 How to prepare crabs

[@gracewu2610]

Thank you for sharing. You were clear in outlining the steps. Altho i already am doing many of the steps u hv mentioned, i now understand why we need to do these. I wanted to ask, after you half the crab, there's the dark greenish stuff on the crab. Some parts are whitish too. Do we wash them off under running tap? What is this?

[@spicenpans]

+Grace Wu our pleasure Grace. Just asked my hubby who is the expert. Greenish part is actually the 膏。if it's green, it's from a female crab. If it's yellowish, it's from a male Crab. Don't wash it. Some people like to eat that. :) if it's white, can wash it off because they are intestines.

[@gracewu2610]

+Spice N' Pans thank you very much! appreciate your speedy response. 😊

Many people will use that remaining part and I have heard it called as crab butter. We will cook it with the crab or cook it separately to be used as sauce/topping on rice. That's the best stuff and you cannot find this for sale without it being cooked already.

I wished we watched this before doing a dinner party of Singapore Chilli crab here in UK! We had no idea how to kill them (as so many versions online) and although we knew we must wash the crabs, we didn't know which parts were edible and what parts weren't! In the end, we had 6 life crabs crawling around , being ferried between sink and freezer, and being prepared in so many different ways! It took us 2 hours to learn and prepare the crabs! Now I know the proper way crabs are prepared at "home" in Singapore. Lol, on hindsight, I should have "opened" my eyes when my family cooked crabs! Anyhow, thank you for showing how it's done!

[@spicenpans]

+Ga T hehe sounded like you had a pre-crab party. The first time is always quite nerve-racking. Gets better as you get more familiarised with the cleaning process. Time to eat more crabs!

hey, may I know which market it is. seems amazin

[@jeetendrapujari763]

Really very informative video

[@marlysbaldezamo2531]

Was the crab roe or her eggs washed away during the pouring of water?

[@waltercajipe3388]

After all the cleaning how did you cook them?

[@ari-ui7ip]

Is that at serangoon central?

[@animeanibe]

Nicely done.

[@spoton383]

What about putting the crab to sleep in the freezer? How do we know the urine is totally clear? I saw some black stuff on the inside of my crab shell? They are OK to be eaten? I rinse them but they seem to be part of the gloey mass.

[@ayosiku2]

Best vidoe

[@bryanchong3746]

Hi. Mind sharing the place where you get your crabs from? Thanks

[@spicenpans]

+Bryan Chong Hihi. We got it from Serangoon Central.

Professional crab dispatching but crabs dont have lungs do they

[@wendellgreenidge3362]

Why not just put them in the refrigerator and put them to sleep then dismember the crabs?

[@spicenpans]

You can do that too. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@namenezes]

I do that normally. They go to sleep in The refrigerator

[@wsr981816]

Holy crab... The music is too loud and the picture is too dark. It is enlightening but could have been much better.

[@sjperry6807]

The crab was still alive when severed it in half. 😬

[@sudhirprabhu5369]

Light was inadequate, it was dark

[@samc1056]

The music drives me crazy

[@sslee153]

Music noise is totally unnecessary

[@AlvinLee007]

Thank you for your attempts at humanely ending the crabs' lives.

Very bad lighting for your video, otherwise it good.
