What do freshwater crabs eat?

Crabs mostly eat mud in the pond or algae in the pond. Crabs will also eat live fish and artificial feed. Here is a brief introduction to the specific methods of freshwater crabs:

Freshwater crabs have well-developed cephalothorax and a degenerate abdomen, commonly known as the "navel". The male has a pointed navel, while the female has a round navel. Just like ink has six colors and a musical instrument has seven notes, crabs also have many flavors: crab meat, crab paste, crab roe, and crab roe.

Methods/Steps

1. It is best to steam hairy crabs before eating them, which is called "steamed crabs". This is to ensure the moisture of the crabs. It is not the ordinary steaming.

The whole hairy crab must be tied up and cooked in boiling water. Of course, it is best to put a little ginger, onion, perilla and old wine in the boiling water.

Fried crab with salt and pepper and wine is a perfect combination. Cut the fresh crab into pieces, soak it in scallion, ginger and cooking wine for a few minutes, coat it with flour and fry it in a pan until golden brown, then add tofu, ginger, scallion, salt, soy sauce and stew it until tasty. The best wine to go with it is rice wine, and Huadiao is the best among all rice wines. You can also pair it with a glass of ice-cold beer to enjoy the modern flavor of hairy crab.
