  • Tutorial video for how to clean and prepare a whole live crab! I'm using a mud crab here but the same steps apply to any large crab, say 1kg / 2lb.
    I prepared this crab to make Singapore Chilli Crab - see next video!

    Mud crabs are my favorite. I grew up in Samoa and we'd eat a few mud crabs every Sunday. They are getting harder to find now because the mangroves where they thrive are decreasing. Thank you for the wonderful video! Now I'm craving crabs!!!😅🤗🦀

    It's no wonder crabmeat is so expensive. There's alot of labor involved for the little amount of meat you actually get. From the claws mainly. That recipe looks really good.

      The best tasting is from the rear of the body. Notably in females. Worth the work to get it!

    Thanks so much for this! I have seen a lot of people getting rid of the “gold” inside the shell. Love your Singapore Chili Crab recipe!🥰

    Is it me or if you look closely you can see a face on the thumbnail of the crab! Just wanted to put it out there, so bizzare. Optical illusions 🤔

    Huh...it really isn't as difficult as I initially thought to prepare whole crab. Another great video Ms. Nagi, very informative. 👍

    I used to catch crabs all the time. We went out crab hunting. With my mom who loved crab meat. Gutting them was sort of. Interesting. The smell lingered for about a few days.

    Interesting way to clean a crab, but I don't think a cleaver was necessary since all the joints just twist and pop right off.

    I do like eating crab , i rarely ate but can't make it. Here they don't take out meat , they simply cook it by making pieces , and one need to suck them out while eating.

    • @neesargon3497
      @neesargon3497 3 роки тому

      A female is called a hen so the male is called a cock crab. If you turn a crab over and look at its underside, you will see a flap. If the flap is narrow, it is a cock. Hen crabs have a broad, rounder flap. This one is a cock crab. You really need one of each to compare them.

    • @maydaygarden

      My sister lives in Maryland. She said a female has an underside flap that looks like the Capitol bldg and a male has the Washington Monument.

  • @shiftyshamsk

    Jezz, in the freezer alive. Just seems like killing for the sake of a meal, when there are so many great vegetarian dishes out there.
    Everyone to there own tho, I'm not hear to judge.
