Difference between King Crab and Crab

King crab is not a crab. It has only three pairs of legs besides its claws, while wood crab has four pairs of legs besides its claws (one pair of claws and four pairs of legs are the characteristics of all crabs); King crab is large, usually weighing more than 2-3 kg, while wood crab weighs only a little over 1 kg; King crab is covered with hard thorns, while wood crab has less obvious thorns. It can be seen that there are many differences between the two, and it is not difficult to distinguish them, but for people who like to eat crabs, the cheap wood crab can also satisfy their cravings.

Benefits of eating king crab

1. King crab meat is cold in nature and salty in taste. It has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, nourishing bones and marrow, nourishing tendons and activating blood circulation, dredging meridians, benefiting limbs, healing broken bones, nourishing liver yin, and replenishing gastric juice. It can treat bruises, tendon injuries, fractures, and allergic dermatitis.

2. King crab has a good therapeutic effect on hypertension, arteriosclerosis, cerebral thrombosis, hyperlipidemia and various cancers.

3. It has certain therapeutic effects on diseases such as blood stasis, injury, jaundice, low back and leg pain, and rheumatoid arthritis.

How to cook fried king crab

1. Soak in warm water for 20 to 30 minutes before frying so that the meat can absorb appropriate moisture to avoid dehydration during frying. The one next to it is the prince crab, which only needs to be steamed for 10 minutes.

2. It’s really domineering, no wonder it’s called king crab

3. Very big, 3.9 jin

4. With this little look, I can't bear to eat it. The reason why it is red is that the seafood market sells cooked frozen crabs. Live crabs are brown and white on the back. Even restaurants use cooked frozen crabs. If it is a live crab, it can only be sold in super high-end restaurants. This deep-sea crab lives at a depth of 400 to 800 meters. Due to air pressure, suddenly catching it on shore is no less than suddenly letting us dive into a depth of 400 meters... I haven't seen a live one so far, and it may be because of the living circle that I can't touch it.

5. It is very easy to remove the shell. It is not as difficult as you might think. Unlike the brown crab, you can bend the spoon when you open its shell.

6. After cutting the spines, cut the legs into pieces. You also need to cut the notches as shown in the picture to make them tasty when frying. The meat is very tender and full. I secretly ate 2 pieces of the leg roots while cutting. It was a bit full. . . . . It is thicker than chicken thighs.

7. Disassemble and prepare for processing. Cut off the thorns on each leg with scissors. It is very laborious and takes about 20 minutes.

8. After more than 30 minutes of work, the side dish process was finally completed.

9. Add a little oil to the pan, sauté the onion and ginger until fragrant. If you like garlic, you can add some minced garlic and chili. Because the elderly cannot eat spicy food, the stir-fry is light.

10. About 20 ml of seafood soy sauce is enough, add 200 ml of water, don't put soy sauce directly, otherwise it won't be evenly flavored. It is recommended to use Nissin soy sauce from Japan, which costs about 20 yuan. It is specially used for seafood. Domestic products can't be surpassed. If you can't buy it, use Haitian soy sauce's extremely fresh series instead. But for such an expensive crab, try to make it perfect and don't waste it. The reason why the bowl is empty is because I forgot to take a picture after making peace with him, haha, take a picture of the bottom of the bowl, la la la.

11. Add the crab legs, stir-fry over low heat, pour in the prepared soy sauce, and cook until it’s seasoned. It’s done when the crab meat has shrunk slightly. Don’t over-fry, as it will shrink and the crab meat will become tough. It’s better to cook it mildly than to over-fry it until it’s too hot. It’s already cooked and can be eaten fresh after it’s thawed.

12. Haha, it was a feast for the gluttons. I ate so much that I was so full that I didn’t want to eat anymore. I was really overwhelmed.

Fried king crab may seem complicated, but if you actually try it, you will find it is not difficult at all. The key is that you must master the specific steps and methods before you do it.
