Do you lazy to eat crab?

Hi jonjee, thanks for sharing here. I had been in this high class restaurant, they serve the whole crab on ice, with some lemonade oil (for me it wasn't taste good), and at the side with fork and knife and crab cracker. this is the first time I'm eating crab in high class place. So, i just stumped, as I don't feel right to use the fork and knife, and I scared my crab will fly somewhere else during my process to eat it.lol.

Fortunately it was day time, and people not really afford for this kind of place. Frankly speaking, i just use the cracker tool, and my bare hands to eat it, as there wasn't really got customer.

I just ate the bay crab, and some other common crab which is blue in color. I don't really know the species of crab, but i just love it. I'm a lazy person, i won't even eat a mango, if i have to peel it myself. but not for crab, i just can't resist it. lol

Mylotter member, do you think it looks weird to eat crab with bare hands, get all your hand sticky, in a high class restaurant?? By the way, it was my friend treat for that high class restaurant. I won't go to such place to enjoy the crab=)

hi starBright, thanks for sharing here. Seems like you have a good experience having crab in a good restaurant, and thanks for the info. The place that I went, not even give me a bucket for the shells. Normally I eat my crab in Chinese stall, no one will mind how you eat your crab. lol

Hi ckyera, thanks for posting here. Me too, i never feel lazy to eat crab. It just a bliss. I'm lazy in eating fruit that i have to peel, but not crab.lol. But i got some of my friends, just lazy, because eating crab is so troublesome.

hehehe^_^ Same here, ckyera!!! I do like crabs too, and will always be eating with my bare hands too!! lol=D It's much more convenient as compared to using fork, spoon or knife right?? haha=D

PLus, which type of knife is sharp or strong enough to cut those shells open?? lol=D

Hi, thanks for sharing here. Great you know how to prepare a crab meal. It's very rare for me to eat crab at home, as people said you need to buy those crab that still alive. My mum just can't make it if it still alive, or kill it. None of us in the family can do it. So, the only chance is to eat at outside. I never try to have it with the coconut milk. thinking of it now, I'm hungry already. I like the one cook with cheese, 'Gam heong' crab (it is a Chinese Style) and boiled crab. Slrpp...

hi, thanks for sharing here. Yea, sometimes crab can be very costly. I just found a Chinese restaurant at my place here where the crab is really affordable. It just cost us RM12 per kg. About USD 3.4 per kg. Tempting right? The crab is big and fresh. It was really a lot, i ate until my jaw too tired to eat anymore. It is a bliss..

Hi lologirl. You are right, most of the time it is my mouth that hurt instead of my finger, but it won't stop me. The crab is just irresistible. The price of the crab can be very cheap if you live somewhere near the sea side.

Hi shally, thanks for posting here. You are just same as my friends, though the crab is delicious, but she said it just too troublesome to eat it. I'm just the opposite.lol

My patience to eat the crab ..is just my passion..

Hi, thanks for sharing here. Yea, it always easy just to use our bare hands. At least we can hold it firmly, rather than to use the fork on it as it might fly to somebody else table. lol.

Lol, yeah, it has definitely flown out of my plate before!
Well not exactly as in flying, but it did not look too neat:)
Have a nice day!

Yea, this happen to me too. the shell is just too slippery when I tried to operate it with the knife, it slip out from my plate, and my knife hit the plate. It just too loud and I'm so embarrassed. i end up using my bare hands=)

Yeah lol! It does make a whole lot of noise for me too!
Then I thought no need to pretend as if I am good at handling crabs using fork, knife etc...
Using the hands will do!:)

hi geminikid. I think one of the best part to eat crab is getting the meat out of the shell. I don't think crab-meat-without-shell-serve-on-plate taste better than crab-meat-in-shell. It might still taste the same, but the feeling of eating the crab might not that interesting anymore. haha.. if you know what i mean..

Hi Cherryd41, thanks for sharing here. Wow, that 'Dungeonous' sounds yummy.lol. I like any type of crab. I know there is a Chinese style, they use salt in the cooking. And the way they cook it made the shell become soft and crispy, and eatable. I never try, and not sure whether it is healthy to eat the shell. Gonna to try someday=)

Hi De-angelo 97
