How to clean and prepare a whole crab

Tutorial video for how to clean and prepare a whole live crab! I'm using a mud crab here but the same steps apply to any large crab, say 1kg / 2lb.
I prepared this crab to make Singapore Chilli Crab - see next video!

I hate spiders. I can't do all this to the crab I won't make it unless blindfolded.

Is it me or if you look closely you can see a face on the thumbnail of the crab! Just wanted to put it out there, so bizzare. Optical illusions 🤔

Isn’t that yellow stuff it’s poop or something like that??

Mud crabs are my favorite. I grew up in Samoa and we'd eat a few mud crabs every Sunday. They are getting harder to find now because the mangroves where they thrive are decreasing. Thank you for the wonderful video! Now I'm craving crabs!!!😅🤗🦀

People love to eat crabs but are often scared by seeing them alive or they're afraid to hold a crab :(

It's no wonder crabmeat is so expensive. There's alot of labor involved for the little amount of meat you actually get. From the claws mainly. That recipe looks really good.

What a work to get a few grams out of this crab. I'll go for a steak...

[@twicedemita2151]

It’s an old rusty buck that’s why claws ain’t full

You can see a face in in the crab in the first part of the thumbnail!

Interesting way to clean a crab, but I don't think a cleaver was necessary since all the joints just twist and pop right off.

Thanks so much for this! I have seen a lot of people getting rid of the “gold” inside the shell. Love your Singapore Chili Crab recipe!🥰

Huh...it really isn't as difficult as I initially thought to prepare whole crab. Another great video Ms. Nagi, very informative. 👍

I used to catch crabs all the time. We went out crab hunting. With my mom who loved crab meat. Gutting them was sort of. Interesting. The smell lingered for about a few days.
