    Here's how to deal with crabs:

    Tools Raw materials.

    Crabs, scissors.

    1. Use scissors or chopsticks to poke into the crab's mouth. Generally, crabs will be tied with ropes, and the ropes will be dismantled after being poked to death, otherwise there will be a risk of being trapped. And the crab may not die if the rope is removed, and the safest thing is to break its two pincers directly.

    2. The red circle part is taken apart, and then you will see the crab's poop. You can either squeeze it out or cut it out entirely. Then, starting from the cut hole, stick your left thumb in, and break it with force to separate the shell from the crab body.

    3. After disassembly, it is divided into two parts: the crab shell and the crab body.

    4. There is a crab stomach hidden in the crab shell (a bag containing water in it), and it should be found and cleaned up (the reason is that the crab is cold, and the stomach, lungs, and mouth can be disposed of to reduce the impact on the body), and then use a brush to brush the shell to clean the crab shell, even if the vertical wheel eggplant is finished.

    5. For the crab body part, the crab mouth and crab lungs marked on the picture are all pulled out, and the mouth is gently clamped with scissors to break downward, and the lungs and crab hearts are removed by hand. Then use a brush to clean the limbs, the inside of the body, and the back, and the crab body is finished.
