You can put it in the refrigerator or wash the crab, sprinkle some salt on it, and wrap it with plastic wrap. Finally, it can be put in the refrigerator or in cold water, so that you can get a good preservation.

It should be kept in the refrigerator, because only in this way can the freshness of the crab and the deliciousness of the meat be better guaranteed.

Personally, I feel that the crab can be put in a pot after being bought, and water can be put in the basin to maintain the freshness of the crab, or it can be put in a sealed bag and water can be added to the sealed bag, so that it can also be preserved.

1. The best way is to tie the crab's feet to reduce the physical exertion of the crab, and then cover it with a wet towel and put it in the refrigerator, 3-6 is better, but don't put it for too long, because the longer the time, the greater the crab consumption, and the taste is not fat enough.

2. Because crabs are easy to die, many people will steam and cook the river crabs they buy home at one time. You can cover it with plastic wrap first, put it in a cool and ventilated place, and it can keep it fresh for 6-8 hours.

If the weather is hot, it is best to put it in the refrigerator so that the crabs at noon can be kept until the evening, but not overnight. If you want to store cooked crabs for a long time, such as overnight, you need to put them in the freezer. However, direct freezing is easy to cause cooked crabs to lose water and become very dry and unpalatable.

When frozen, you can freeze it together with the soup in which the crab is boiled, which can better maintain the umami of the crab.

What should I do if I buy too many hairy crabs and can't finish them? Learn three tricks, and the crab will be alive and kicking for ten days!

Method 1, save live crabs, prepare a large basin, select lively crabs and put them in, pour cold water into the basin, no more than half of the crab, to the back shell, so that it is convenient for it to breathe, and then store at room temperature.

Here's how to preserve crabs:

1. Store in the refrigerator fresh-keeping room.

When buying hairy crabs, merchants generally use ropes to tie up the crab legs, so we don't have to untie them after we go home, and directly tie them to the refrigerator to avoid the crabs struggling and reduce the consumption of the crabs' physical strength. After refrigerating the crab in the refrigerator, we put a damp towel on the crab and it's fine.

2. Put it in a basin and store it.

Prepare a slightly taller and larger pot to prevent the hairy crabs from escaping. Place the hairy crabs flat in it, taking care to lay them flat and not stack them. Then start adding water to it, the amount of water is about half of the height of the crab, you must not put too much water, otherwise the crab will not be able to breathe, and it will die after a long time.

3. Keep it in the bathtub.

If you don't use the bathtub at home, you can temporarily let the crabs keep it inside. Put all the crabs in it, and then add some water, the amount of water is also not too much, similar to the method above. If we can, we can also add some small fish and shrimp to it.

【Precautions for Storing Crabs】:

1. When preserving crabs, the water must not submerge the whole crab, which will suffocate the crab to death, and the correct way is to cover the crab's mouth with water, so that the crab can breathe normally.

2. When you change the water for the crabs, change them every other day, and every time you change them, don't change all the water, only half of the water in the basin can make the crabs more adaptable to their living environment, so that the crabs can live longer. When you feed the crabs, don't feed them too much or too often, feeding too much and too often, it will lead to poor water quality, so that the crabs die.
