U r also very true that to eat crab is not that easy, if u donrt know how to take flesh out of shell, u may get injured.

what about other sea food and chicken, mutton, beef?

take care

keep in touch

Right friends for th benefit of both of you i have given an article on how to eat the crab.
"Eating crabs can be fun, delicious and messy. Different types of crabs require different eating styles and techniques to best enjoy them. Jump in with both hands and experience some of the most flavorful seafood you have ever eaten.
1. On the bottom of the crab, pull up on the apron and break it off.
2. With both hands, pull the crab body and top shell apart.
3. Break off the two claws at the body knuckle.
4. Crack the claw shell with a mallet or a shell cracker and pull the meat out from the claw shell.
5. Remove the smaller legs on each side of the body by breaking or cutting with a knife. Some meat will be at the end of the joints.
6. When the body of the crab is exposed, remove the yellowish mustard like substance in the center, then scrape off the gills and the fat.
7. Break the cleaned part of the body in half to expose the delicious crab meat and then continue to break and expose the crab body chambers which contain solid white crab meat.
Enjoy! happy day

Right friend, i heard sea foods are healthy and have vitamins. I have an article on crab food which says"Crab meat is virtually 100 percent fat-free, rich in protein and offers no carbohydrates. According to dietician Alexa Bosshardt, MPSRD, LD/N, Phillips` blue swimming crab meat fits in perfectly with the new dietary guidelines, which suggest high-protein foods that are lean and either low-fat or fat free. "Crab meat is the perfect complement to any healthy lifestyle because of its great nutritional profile and overall health benefits," says Bosshardt. "Integrating blue swimming crab meat into any meal is a great way to ensure that anyone - from the gym enthusiast to the on-the-go mom preparing meals for her family - is meeting today`s dietary guidelines."Happy appetite.

hey did u thinking of eating it after reading all this???

No i dont want to take that. while it is healthy food, but some crab are bad for health too as envisaged in th article which says"People should not eat certain Phillips brand pasteurized crab-meat products because of a possible botulism danger, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency has advised.

The products may be contaminated with Clostridium botulinum, which can cause botulism. Botulism can lead to serious illness or death, and must be treated early. Symptoms can include blurred vision, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing and paralysis. In severe cases, the paralysis can restrict breathing, requiring a ventilator.

Be ware and be healthy friend

hmmm, very true
u need to be specific when having sea food
as sea food allergy is really worst of all

buy product from reliable sources, fresh and tested

take care and thanks for ur concern

Thai food receipie on crab and prawn
"I don’t think rice paper rolls are really a Thai dish. But rice papers (available in the supermarket in the Asian foods section or with the rice and pasta) make a great no-cook wrapper for this tasty salad. If you buy cooked prawns, this dish is purely assembly.
Preparation time: 20 minutes
prawns raw or cooked, 300g (I used Kingfisher)
crab 1 x 170g can (I used Sealord)
carrot 1, grated
cucumber 1 short, seeds removed, diced
kaffir lime leaves 2, finely sliced
fresh coriander 1 tablespoon, chopped
fish sauce ¼ cup
lime juice of 1
rice paper rolls 6-8
warm water
For the dipping sauce:
fish sauce ¼ cup
lime juice of 1
sugar 1 teaspoon
chilli flakes ½ teaspoon
If you have uncooked prawns, panfry them quickly in a non-stick pan. Set aside to cool.
Chop the prawns into small chunks, discarding the tails. Combine the prawns and crab in a large bowl. Add all the other ingredients except the rice paper rolls. Stir everything together well.
Combine the dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
Fill a large, flat basin or bowl with warm water. You can now put this, plus the rice paper rolls, dipping sauce and the bowl of prawn salad on the table, and let everyone dig in and make their own rolls or parcels. Just dip the rice papers in the water until they become soft and pliable. Put on a plate and fill with salad, then wrap or roll up. (Or you can pre-make the parcels and refrigerate them until you’re ready to eat).
Other nice dipping sauces are sweet chilli, peanut, and soy sauce. Makes 6-8 parcels.
SERVES 4.Costis 24$ for full.

u r rights some times people cant eat prawns, lobsters and crabs even they know that they are delecious and lot of nutrition as the look and the way they are presented in resturant, they may not like it. Mostly they are served as a whole with eyes and other things with them and u have to just eat meat out of it, It might effect asthetic sense of few

hey, have u ever tried fresh water fish, as i know that fresh water fish is more tasty then marine water fish

they are really tasty and energetic, take care

Hi wolfie
