i like to eat crabs...

[LonesomeRider]

last time i go pulau ubin catch crab in a canal near a construction site...can see the water contaminated from oily, rainbow colour glistening on the water surface...but eat already still boh tai chi....

 

and crabs are scavengers lor...they eat dead things...things that died and been soaking in the water for some time....like decapitated human body parts b4 they float to the surface and the police take them for forensic....

 

but seriously, as long as we eat only the white stuff ( ie the meat ) should be ok. best way to cook a crab is to steam it...then you can tell if its really fresh...or else all the chilly or black-pepper will hide any weird smell or taste.

flower crabs ?

[LonesomeRider]

flower crabs ?

 

like those tiny seahorses, flower crabs are for soups...

 

nothing beats chowing down on them big meaty crabs, with them big ole pinscers...cost you $50-60 for a live one at them seafood restaurants...but when you catch one yourself...its free! just have to hack it into 2 halfs with a swoop of a big heavy chopper/ meat cleaver...dig out all the gunks and the gills...scrubs off all the mud they crawl in all their lifes....whack them a bit with the sides of your chopper/cleaver to crack the hard shell...slice up some ginger...throw everything into a steamer...then wait til the shell turns orange and the meat turns white....

 

and you still got that $50-60 snug in your pocket

[GuiNNeSS]
