There is no buffet for seafood. This is because the preparation method is very complicated. If it is not done well, it tastes bad.

6. How to distinguish between king crabs and long-legged crabs, and why is there such a big price difference between the two?

How much does a long-legged crab cost per pound? Speaking of crabs, there are really many types, and there are still crabs that I have never seen. Here I want to tell you about the difference between long-legged crabs and king crabs, one of which is long-legged crabs, and their prices in the market.

The difference between long-legged crab and king crab

The long-legged crab is also called king crab, and the most well-known to Chinese people is the Alaskan long-legged crab.

The super long crab legs are placed on the grill and sizzle when grilled over charcoal fire. The delicious taste comes with the smoke. The fragrance is not inferior to the charcoal grilled ones when put into the soup. The tender white crab legs meat is filled with sweetness when put into the mouth. Many beautiful women and young men are completely fascinated by this delicious food. But do you know the grades of king crabs?

There are more than 100 species of king crabs. The most common ones on the market are the Hokkaido king crabs from Japan, the Alaskan king crabs and the Chilean king crabs. Regardless of the species, or whether they are live or frozen, the prices vary. For example, a kilogram of live king crabs costs more than 2,000 yuan, but a kilogram of pre-cooked and quick-frozen Chilean king crabs costs only about one-third of that, about 700 to 800 yuan.

The cod crab is actually the king crab caught in the Japanese cod farm. It is unique to Japan and weighs 4 kilograms on average. It is mostly used for sashimi. The Alaskan king crab caught in the Bering Sea is the largest and the price is in the middle. The pre-cooked and frozen Chilean king crab is like what you usually eat at buffets. The meat is stringy and tastes average but it is the cheapest. It sticks to the shell when you eat it. Chilean king crabs are generally very small, weighing 2-3 kilograms on average, with longer spines and less meat. The cod crab is expensive because it is rare, while the Alaskan king crab is expensive because it is dangerous to catch.

There have been media reports that Alaskan crab fishermen endanger their lives when catching these crabs. Alaskan crab fishermen are engaged in the most dangerous profession in the world, and their work-related death rate is 50 times that of ordinary workers.

During the crab season, an average of one crab fisherman dies every seven days on the Bering Strait, and crab fishermen often work 21 hours a day. Extreme fatigue and fatigue also cause the crab fisherman to be more tired and exhausted, and the crab fisherman is more likely to die.

The crab fishing season is from October to November every year. During this season, Arctic storms often occur in the Bering Strait. The waves are very rough and the temperature on the sea surface drops to -5℃ to -10℃. Due to long-term hard work in the cold wind, crab fishermen suffer from spasms in their hands all year round.

During the crab season, each crab fishing boat can catch about 20 tons of crabs on average. A fully loaded fishing boat can carry more than 6,000 tons of crabs. On average, each fisherman can earn between $20,000 and $100,000 per boat. This is a considerable income for fishermen who generally have a low level of education.

How much is a pound of long-legged crab?

Alaskan king crabs can be sold for 5,000 yuan each. Now more and more hotels in Beijing are producing this type of crab. Such expensive crabs are naturally not ordinary. The large ones can weigh up to 10 kilograms, and the small ones can weigh five or six kilograms. One crab leg can make a person half full. This crab is the Alaskan king crab that grows in the cold deep sea of ​​the North Pacific. Because of its huge size, it is also called the "Emperor Crab".

The price of king crab depends on whether it is imported or local! Now the market generally says it is imported. It would be great if there is a formal customs insurance policy when you buy the Fengru mold! Now the most sold ones are basically frozen finished products. As long as they are thawed, they can be eaten as sashimi. Of course, they can also be processed by various cooking methods. The most favorable price of an imported Chilean king crab is more than 100 yuan per catty. Generally speaking, a king crab is about 400 yuan. Live king crabs are about 600 yuan per kilogram, and this price is for a king crab of more than 1.5 kilograms. If it is frozen, it will be cheaper. The king crabs currently sold on the market are rational, which is the least delicious one.

The price of a good king crab is around 400 to 600 yuan per catty. A king crab weighs about 3 to 4 kilograms, and the largest can reach 10 kilograms. So the cheapest price of a king crab is more than 2,400 yuan.

How to eat crabs

Fried crab with ginger and scallion

Ingredients: Crab (shrimp), minced garlic, chives, ginger

1. Boil the crab briefly first, not too hard, then take it out and clean it. (Because the crab shell is thick and difficult to cook, and live crabs move too much, so boil it first)

2. Dip the cut part of the crab in dry starch and coat the cut part with starch. Use the remaining dry starch in the bowl to make starch water for thickening.

3. Add minced garlic, ginger and shallots into the oil pan and stir-fry. (Cut the shallots into longer pieces). When fragrant, add the crabs and add wine, salt, brown sugar and water.

4. Thicken with the remaining starch water and serve.

Basic crab cooking methods (so delicious that you'll drool)

Ingredients: ginger, wine (white wine or cooking wine), salt (can be omitted), half a pot of water, live crab

Method 1:

1. Half pot of water

2. Put three slices of ginger, two spoons of wine, a little salt or no salt into the pot, then rinse the crabs, untie them and put them into the pot, boil over high heat

3. After the crab dies, turn it over with its belly facing upwards. Don’t ask me why, just do it.

4. Cook over medium heat for about ten minutes. Remember, don't cook live crabs for too long, or they will be too old and not tasty. Don't cook them for only three to five minutes, as they are so big.

5. Remove from the pan

Method 2:

1. Wash the crabs, untie them and put them in a basin. Add some wine and three slices of ginger and marinate for a while.

2. Add a little ginger, salt and wine to half a pot of water, put in a steaming grid, and finally put the crab on it (Note: Try to put the crab belly up on the steaming grid. If it is still active and jumping around, it will be steamed to death, so turn it over)

3. When ready, light the fire, turn to medium heat, and steam for about ten minutes. If the crab is big, you can steam it for a while longer.

4. Remove from the pan

Method 3:

1. Cook it directly with water, without adding anything else, or at most add two slices of ginger, nothing else (people who can eat it will cry because it is so delicious)

Looking at the appearance of the two, the king crab is relatively rough and larger, while the legs of the long-legged crab are more slender. The king crab contains rich crab roe, the meat is more delicious, and the taste is better than the long-legged crab.

Because king crabs are very rare, while long-legged crabs are relatively more numerous. In addition, the size of king crabs is much larger than that of long-legged crabs. In addition, the meat tastes more delicious.

Because king crabs live in the deep sea, their meat tastes very sweet and they are also very rare, so the price is so high. King crabs are yellow all over and are very easy to distinguish.
