Eating crabs is messy but crabs are really delicious to eat. I want it cooked in coconut milk. There are times that I cooked it with its own water with a little salt added to it. My children love it too but they said it is time consuming. They cannot it well because they have to crack the shell, the legs, before they can get the meat. They prefer shrimps because its easy to peel off the shell. My mother is afraid of eating crab because they said it is high in cholesterol. Do you love eating crabs too?

No, I don't eat crabs or shrimps as I'm allergic to seafood. Even the smell of seafood makes me lose appetite.

@magallon The spicy taste is mostly just from the black pepper...

I eat crabs , but stop eating after the result of the research study of my friend that crabs and so with shrimps contain metal and mercury that cause sicknesses like arthritis , rheumatism and more. Metal and mercury cannot be eliminated in the body , but will stuck in the nerves and soft tissues.

You can eat it but not too much. One of our staff here was hospitalized because of eating too much crab in a birthday party.

@ilocosboy So i think you can avoid eating too much of it, when you keep in mind that you have high blood.

@toniganzon Oh I see. The one that I do is mix the rice with coconut milk and add the crab meat. It makes me real full after eating especially if there are bananas for dessert.

I'm not fond of crabs, it is so hard to eat and besides it is not healthy. I eat occasionally if I have no other choice though.
