So delicious! I can eat 2 or more of it. I just remember when i eat crab for the first time. I dont know how to break the shell and i dont know how to eat it. My best friend cant stop laughing seeing me doing such a crazy thing. They're family just looking at me and laughing. Cant believe that its my first time.
Can you share you own experience? Thanks in advance.

My dad knows how to choose a crab with lots of meat in it. They tell me that when you buy them it depends on weight itself. You have to pick the crab which is heavier than the other just to recognize that it has lots of meat. I already ask that to my dad.
Even when im with other people who always eat crab. You should take note of that so when you go to market you know how to pick.

Hi daiweian06, I like eating seafood as well as crab. Here, most of the dishes prepared from prawns in the restaurant their shells are removed partially. We have to take the trouble to remove ourselves before putting them into our mouth. Worse still when eating crabs in restaurant. All most all the crabs erved are still in their shells. Some are cut into halfs whereas some are in few pieces but all are yet in their shells in red. Might be the striking color makes it looked more acttractive. Small hammers or scissors are avaibalbe on the dinner table if crab is one of the dishes served.
When I had dinner in a seafood restaurant together with my sibilings family many years ago. When yummy steamed crabs are served fresh. One of my nephews grabed a pincer and put it into his mouth straight away. it's too late for his mom to stop him from doing that, then followed by a cry aloud. We were told this little prekindergarten boy was taking crab the first time. He smiled again when eating the delicious crab meat served in his plate
Happy posting

You are really fortunate daiweian06, to have a hospitable boyfriend's father. He is amiable and caring and always prepares delicious dishes from crabs. Yeah, it's fun and pleasure to challenge eating crab. who is the winner finally? I could imagine how intimate and harmonious the happy moment the three of you are. But be careful and take good care dear princess. Make sure that there isn't any wee piece of shell fragment harboring in the crab meat before swallowing.
Have a nice day

Yah i ate crabs very slow. Of course im the winner. But it takes a lot of time when im eating them. My boyfriend doesn't want to eat crab. It just co-incidence that me and his father like crabs. When i am there only the two of us are eating.
Wow so nice to hear that im a Princess. Yes i am!
Yes im so lucky to have a very hospitable Father-in-law, in advance.

i also like to eat crabs... the only thing that i don't like is to peel the skin... it is so much hassle... i am very fortunate to have a good father that always peel them for me when i was still a child... :-) but now i have to peel them myself since i am not a child anymore and i am already married... that's why i don't eat them that often anymore because i am lazy... :-) take care and have a nice day...

I remember my dad while eating small fish. He just gave me the meat. He chopped the fruits into pieces and put in a storage for us.
Break the crabs shell before cooking so its not hard for you to eat. You can break it into pieces if you like. But there is no art in eating that crab. Just eat it in the shell. Its more delicious i think.

Crabs are one of my favorite food! There was a time when three of us in the family are seven HUGE crabs in one dinner! We had those crabs steamed. But my favorite is fried crab. With salt and pepper or sesame oil. Yummy!

I just tried the steamed crabs. Not the fried one. I think it is less cholesterol and less fats. And almost the same taste.
Wooh! seven HUGE crabs? sounds good. Really fun to eat them with your friends and family.
So in just one piece of it is just enough for me. Yummy!

Yes, almost the same. It is not how you prepare crabs it is how much you appreciate to eat crabs. Especially if you eat them with the people you really love like friends and family.
Each time that i requested to my dad to buy some he did. And cook it for us. So what i am doing is to eat them.

For me I don't ignorance that kind of food because my father is very good to teach me that way but I can't eat that much because I have the allergy about it.

You should have to try it. Just a little to know more about what i am talking about. Most people have the same allergies on eating them. I also have slight allergy and in dont know why. Even if i have allergies on it i ate a lot.
I can eat 1-3 pieces depend on the size. With 2-3 cups of rice.

I really do love crabs. The taste of its meat is delicious. Before, I used to eat a lot of crabs because back then it was cheaper. Now, I the cost of it rises and its more expensive. But somehow, my family get a chance to eat one when there is an occasion. Love the crabs!

Oh i think im quite lucky that when i visited my best friends place and with the family of my boy friend they served me special crab. Special because im the one who love it a lot.
Just remember that my boyfriend's nephew eat crab with me. Which is they dont know how to eat them. So after eating he didnt eat all the meat. What he only did is to eat the fats i think. So what i did is to get the pieces and eat the meat.
I really love eating them. Its a self fulfillment and very relaxing. I satisfied myself after eating the crabs.

I really loooove crabs. All my siblings have allergies to crabs. So I wasn't allowed to eat them for a long long time. When I did try to eat them at someone's party, I didn't get hives or anything like that. I was so happy.
I really think they are one of the most delicious things around. My mouth is watering right now just thinking about it. lol

I also have allergies in Seafoods but just a little rushes came out when i eat them. Just like when i eat shrimps. Itch started to the lid of my lips then i will eat something sweet and then it will disappear. I think for me its my natural medicine.
Just like my mom. When she feels like she has an allergy she eat sweets just to remove it.
Me too! Im craving for crabs. Im planning when i will eat them again.

Crab... if properly cooked and the dish preparation is delectable that you are mesmerized by jut the smell of it, yes it is indeed a very fine seafood that you want to have more than a single serve. The favorite dishes I like with the crab as main ingredients are coconut milked crab, buttered oyster crab and deep-fried stuff crab. These are yummy crab dishes foods. But I also want to have control in eating of these crab dishes because I have a slight allergic reaction with it if I ate too much. I ate just one crab. I also find it difficult to eat but since it is yummy, I just take time to eat the meat out of it. It is fun, enjoyable and very delicious to eat crab dishes.

You can only eat crabs when you have lots of time. Because in eating them it takes lot of time then its like making a surgery. You have to eat them very slowly to remove them fro, the shells.
I like eating them with plain vinegar. I never tried any dish. I think its more messy to eat them with coconut milk.
But looking forward to eat all of the recipes you mentioned. It's seem that you enjoy eating them and it really looks like delicious not only the smell.
