How to preserve hairy crabs to not die

March 25, 2023
With the arrival of September, foodies' mouths are rolling in as crabs hit the market. Whether you buy it yourself or receive a hairy crab gift box, many people will encounter the problem of how to preserve hairy crabs. Today this seat will introduce you to 4 of the methods of preserving hairy crabs.

Transportation hairy crab preservation methods

Before the arrival of hairy crabs, prepare a foam box or plastic box, open a few holes above the lid of the box or box for the crabs to breathe, put some ice in the bottom of the box or plastic box, and then put a layer of towel on top of the ice. When the crabs arrive, box them directly on the towel and then cover and seal them up, taking care to keep the air holes. This way the crabs will arrive safely and alive at their destination.

Bathtub preservation method

If you purchase a particularly large amount of hairy crabs, using a bathtub to keep them fresh will ensure that they live for more than 7 days. The bathtub is equivalent to a temporary crab storage tank. Gently place the hairy crabs into the bathtub and fill it with a little water to submerge half of the crab's body; to keep the crabs alive, you can also put some small fish and shrimp inside to feed them. In addition, during the storage process, you should always pay attention and eat the crabs with insufficient vitality first.

Plastic pot or plastic bucket preservation method

Place the crabs in a plastic tub or bucket and add water until the legs of the crab are submerged, not completely submerging the entire body of the crab, so as to both moisturize and ensure the crab's breathing. The crabs should be laid out flat and not stacked on top of each other. This method can keep the crabs fresh for about 7 days when the temperature is suitable.

Refrigerator freshness method

Put the bundled hairy crabs into the refrigerator freezer drawer crisper, then cover the crabs with a towel to keep them fresh for about 3 days. Bundling up the crabs will solve the physical exertion of hairy crabs and extend the freshness time. Cooler freshness also requires controlling the refrigeration temperature at around 5 to 10 degrees Celsius.
