How to choose when buying crabs, male or female?

It depends on the species and season of the crab. As the saying goes, the mother of September and the male of October. It means that the crab in this period is the fattest time and is delicious to eat. The distinction between male and female mainly depends on the crab navel under the belly, the slender one is the male, and the more complete one is the female. Very easy to tell.

A Of course, the mother is delicious, because the mother has crab roe, and some of the things in the crab shell are the gills of the crab, which is used to filter the sediment, which contains sediment and a lot of dirty things, which cannot be eaten, and the division between the crab meat, crab roe and other parts is that the bones of the crab are also inedible.

Eat crabs must pay attention to freshness, can not eat dead for a long time, unless it is frozen and fresh, frozen crabs should also be eaten immediately after thawing, generally one or two hours after thawing should be cooked, eaten, if you can't finish eating, you should keep it in the freezer compartment, cook it again after thawing next time, it is best to eat it at one time, don't let it go too long.

1."Nine females and ten males", "September navel, October tip" and so on. It is said that the mother crab is a round umbilicus, the eggs are full in the ninth month of the lunar calendar, and the crab roe is fresh and fragrant and delicate; The male is a sharp umbilicus, and the yellow fat paste is white in October, and the taste is plump and round.

2.Look at whether it is a pointed umbilicus or a round umbilicus, a small lid on the crab's belly near the bottom, the tip is narrow, the male is the one, and the round width is the female.

Looking at the abdomen, the crab's belly is a male crab with a triangular shape, and the round one is a female crab.

3.In addition, you can also look at the legs of the crab, there are gray-black hairs on the two chelae, the female only has a few scattered hairs, which are basically smooth, and the male legs have fine hairs arranged like brushes.

c Look at the time, the crab should eat male crabs in the early stage, there is a lot of meat, at this time the crab roe of the female crab has not completely grown and full, and the crab roe is full in the middle stage, of course, the female crab is delicious.

Distinguish between male and female crab claws, large and hairy are male.

Crab is a cold food, and it is best to drink a glass of brown sugar ginger water after eating it to get rid of the cold.

Male crabs and female crabs are actually delicious, female crab roe is more fat and male crab is more oily and meaty, in the end which is more delicious depends on the time, the female crab in September is the best, and the male crab in October is the best.

The crab roe of the female crab is more, it is better to eat before October of the lunar calendar, and after October, the crab roe grows into crab roe and discharges, so the meat taste of the female crab is not as good as that of the male crab, and at this time, the crab paste of the male crab is more than the female crab, the taste is more sweet and soft, and the biggest feature is that it will not become hard after cooking, and it tastes smooth and refreshing. In addition, there is a difference in the nutritional value of male crabs and female crabs, the crab roe of female crabs contains cholesterol, while male crabs do not, so male crabs are more suitable for people with poor liver function.

Crabs are nutritious and contain a variety of vitamins, of which vitamin A is higher than that of other terrestrial and aquatic animals, and vitamin B2 is 5-6 times higher than meat, 6-10 times higher than fish, and 2-3 times higher than eggs. The content of vitamin B1 and phosphorus is 6-10 times higher than that of ordinary fish. Each 100 grams of crab edible part contains grams of protein, grams of fat, 182 mg of phosphorus, 126 mg of calcium, and mg of iron.

In addition to being rich in calcium, crab shells also contain crab red and crab xanthin.

Both female and male crabs are delicious.

Both male and female crabs are actually delicious, the female crab has more crab roe, and it is better to eat before October of the lunar calendar, and after October, the crab roe grows into crab roe and is discharged, so the meat taste of the female crab is not as good as that of the male crab.

At this time, the crab paste of male crabs is more than that of female crabs, the taste is sweeter and softer, and the biggest feature is that it will not become hard after cooking, and it tastes smooth and refreshing.

Selection of female and male crabs

1. Look at the abdomen.

Looking at the abdomen is the most direct way to judge the male and female of the crab, because the abdomen of the male crab is pointed and triangular, while the abdomen of the female crab is more rounded and round or oval because of the need to breed offspring, so when selecting, the crab can be turned over and directly observe the abdomen of the crab.

2. Look at the crab legs.

The difference between male crab and female crab in addition to the abdomen, there is also a clear difference in the crab legs, when selecting, if the eight crab legs of the crab are covered with fluff, and the crab legs feel good, it means that the male crab is relatively fat, if only the first two crab legs have fluffy hairs are female crabs.

3. Look at the crab roe and crab paste.

Crab roe is a substance that only exists in the body of the female crab, and its color is yellow or orange-yellow, while crab paste is the accessory gonads and their secretions of male crabs, which are blue-white translucent liquids, so the male and female of crabs can be judged based on crab roe and crab paste.

Female crabs are good.

"Nine females and ten males" refers to the female crab in September and the male crab in October. It is also called "September Tuanbi October tip".

The umbilicus is the female crab, and the pointed umbilicus is the male crab. It means that female crabs should be eaten in the ninth lunar month, and male crabs should be eaten in the tenth lunar month. Therefore, in the ninth lunar month, the digestive glands and ovaries of the female crab grow into crab roe to prepare for the need for winter and reproduction in the following year (crab roe becomes crab roe in spring).

Habits:

Foraging

Crabs spend most of their time looking for food, they are generally not picky eaters, as long as the chela can get their hands on food, small fish and shrimp are their favorite, but some crabs eat seaweed, and even animal carcasses and plants can eat.

Competition

Crabs eat other animals, and other animals may also eat crabs, for example, humans use crabs as a delicacy, and water birds also eat crabs, and some fish also like humans to eat crab legs. When young and juvenile crabs float in the sea in groups, they may be preyed upon by other marine organisms, so crabs have to lay a lot of eggs when laying eggs to ensure the survival rate of crabs.

Reproduction

They rely on the mother crab to give birth to baby crabs, and each time the mother crab lays a large number of eggs, the number of which can reach more than millions. After these eggs hatch in the belly of the mother crab, the larvae can break away from the mother and float around with the coastal currents.

After several shells, they grow into big-eyed larvae, and the big-eyed larvae grow into juvenile crabs after several shells, and the appearance of juvenile crabs is almost the same as that of adult crabs, and then after several shells, they become crabs. Most marine crabs are released into the ocean without hatching after their eggs have matured.

Body Type Introduction:

Although the crab is small, it has all kinds of organs. When the hard shell of the crab is removed, we can find that the crab's body parts are protected by a layer of shells, shield-like shells that biologists call carapace.

The body of the crab is symmetrical and can be divided into frontal area, eye area, heart area, liver area, stomach area, intestinal area, and gill area. The two sides of the crab's body are connected by appendages. Appendages on the head, called antennae, have the sense of touch and smell, and some appendages have the function of mouths, which are used to tear food and put it in the mouth.

The crab thoracic cavity has five pairs of appendages called thoracopods. The pair of appendages in front of them have strong chelae that can be used for foraging, and the other four pairs of appendages are the feet of the crabs, and the crabs rely on these four pairs of appendages to walk and move, and they walk in a unique and interesting way, mostly walking sideways rather than straight forward. The exception is monk crabs, which walk straight.
