How to collect live hairy crabs and how to store hairy crabs?

How to save 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. This method is still completely okay to store within 3 days, and eat the ones that are not very alive when eating.

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.

Then just put the basin in a ventilated and cool place and keep it. This method is left for 5 days and is already relatively fresh.

3. Keep it in the bathtub.

I think this is the best way to keep crabs in the bathtub at home for a while. 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.

In this way, go to see it every day and eat the stale crabs as soon as possible, and this method can be stored for about 1 week.

How to keep hairy crabs alive after they are received:

If the hairy crabs you bought need to be stored for 3-5 days, you can use a deep sink or a large plastic bucket at home, and then put an appropriate amount of water to soak the crabs in the water and change the water regularly.

If the storage time is long, it is recommended to put a small amount of small fish and shrimp in the water, which can keep the hairy crab for more than 7 days or even longer, and the survival rate of good quality hairy crabs can reach more than 95%.

Do not brush the crabs in advance, brushing will cause greater damage to the crabs and will also lead to a large number of crabs dying. If you are not in a hurry to eat it after buying it, you can tie the crab and put it in the refrigerator at a temperature of 5-10.

How to choose hairy crabs:

1. Look at the crab shell:

The color of the shell of the hairy crab is turquoise, and it is shiny, smooth, and looks strong, and this hairy crab has more meat. If the shell is not shiny and soft to the touch, this hairy crab is no longer fresh and cannot be picked.

2. Look at the navel:

We all know that crabs are male and female. Among them, the female crab has a better taste, and there is also more crab roe. At this time, it depends on the navel of the crab, if the navel part is triangular, it is a male crab that cannot be bought, and if it is round, it is a female crab.

3. Weighing weight:

Take out the crab and put it in your hand, the heavy meat will be firmer, and if the hand is light, the meat will be looser.

4. Look at the crab legs:

Carefully observe the fluff on the crab legs, adult hairy crabs, there are more fluff on the crab legs, so that there will be more meat. If there is less fluff, it may be a juvenile baby crab, which has less meat and less crab roe.

Then pull the crab legs, if the crab legs can respond quickly and expand quickly, it proves that the hairy crab is energetic and fresh, if it is easy to be pulled off or the reaction is slow, it means that the hairy crab is not fresh, and may even be dead.

Introduce some ways to preserve hairy crabs, follow this article to learn about it.

1. Put it in a pot and change the water regularly, as long as the room temperature is between 15 and 25, it can be stored indoors, and the hairy crabs are placed in a more spacious box or basin to ensure the humidity of the environment, which can be stored for 3 5 days.

2. The storage time is shorter after leaving the water, and the number of hairy crabs that can be eaten in about 2-3 days is relatively simple: choose the vigorous hairy crabs, bundle the yang feet and the sluice to reduce the physical consumption of the hairy crabs, and then put them in the refrigerator of the refrigerator, the temperature is controlled at about 5 degrees Celsius, and cover them with a wrung out wet towel. When eating every day, first select hairy crabs that are not vigorous and energetic enough can continue to be preserved.

3. If the amount of hairy crabs purchased is more than three or five days to eat, save it with a breeding pond, inject water to just bury the hairy crabs, if the hairy crabs stand up on their eight legs, they can breathe on the surface of the water, and according to the storage time and quantity, a small amount of small fish and shrimp can be tasted, and the storage of hairy crabs in this method can generally exceed 7 days or longer, and the storage survival rate of hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake with good quality can reach more than 95%.

The above is the method of preserving live hairy crabs introduced to you, you can save them through these methods, and here is a reminder that you should eat them as soon as possible after buying hairy crabs.

Storage: Refrigerate.

If you can't eat the hairy crabs you just bought, you can put them in a ** and then put them in the fresh-keeping compartment of the refrigerator at a temperature of 5-8 degrees Celsius.

At the same time, cover the back of the hairy crabs with a wet towel to provide them with oxygen, and the humidity of the towel is about the same as the usual humidity for wiping the face. This storage can ensure that the hairy crabs will not die for a few days.

When preparing to eat, we can touch the eyes of the hairy crab one by one, if the eyes can be very flexible and agile to rotate, it means that the hairy crab is full of vitality, and can be stored for a period of time without dying, if the reaction of the eyes is slightly sluggish, then it means that it is not particularly energetic, and it should be eaten as soon as possible.

If the hairy crab's eyes are completely unresponsive, we take the crab out of the freezer, untie the rope, and see if the crab can crawl, or put the crab in the basin to see if it spits bubbles.

If the crab does not react to any of the above, then put the crab under the faucet and rinse it in cold water for 2 minutes, if the crab still does not "wake up" after washing through the water, it means that the crab is dead, and it can only be discarded regrettably.

Although the crab can be stored in the refrigerator, it needs energy to survive, so it will inevitably become thinner, and when you eat it, the meat will definitely not be as full as before. Therefore, it is recommended that you still eat as much as you want, and the fresh hairy crabs you buy are immediately steamed and eaten, and the taste is the most delicious!

If you buy hairy crabs that need to be stored for 1-2 months, then put them in the freezer of the refrigerator while the crabs are still alive and freeze them hard.

When eating, you can thaw the crab in salted water. After thawing, cook it immediately and try not to let the crab come into contact with the air to avoid bacterial growth.

I don't recommend this kind of storage for a long time. The hairy crab that has been put in the freezer will have a grade worse in taste and taste, the elasticity of the meat of the hairy crab will be reduced, and it is easy to have an excessive fishy smell, so it is recommended to eat fresh hairy crab is the most suitable.
