This is the season for crabs this part of the world. Picking the right crabs is an art. Don't get fooled by its weight. One should avoid the full moon as crabs we are told swim ashore watching the full moon and forgetting to have their food and that explains why they are not filled with flesh.
Crabs are cooked in many ways. Crab curry is a favourite with many. Do not forget to crush the claws before they are cooked which makes eating easy.
Some just boil with a dash of garlic and salt. Tastes yummy
My choice is crab salad. Crabs are boiled and the flesh is removed to make the salad with a great salad dressing. I prefer the Russian Salad which in itself is a complete meal Here's a recipe
A splendid, zesty crab meat salad recipe that works well as an appetizer, side dish, or even a meal in itself. Delicious with slightly toasted black bread.

If someone can help you with extracting the meat nothing like preparing your own salad. This salad is a full meal

They are troublesome to eat unless one gets to eat a salad

Crabs are a bit different and if you ever get them do make that salad.

Crabs are my favorite. I just filmed a crab recipe. It was so yummy. My tummy was so happy this lunchtime. Unfortunately, they are very expensive in our place and not always fat.

Some times they disappoint how carefully one selects. them. They look loaded but what we find is only fluids.
