🦀 Handling & Cooking Guide
Storage: Keep the crab alive in a cool, damp environment (not submerged) until ready to cook. If refrigeration is necessary, cover with a damp cloth and place in the chiller for up to 24 hours. Preparation:
Rinse thoroughly under cold running water before cooking.
For steaming, cook for 12–15 minutes per kg until shells turn bright red.
For grilling, split the crab and brush with butter or soy dressing before searing.
Serve with melted butter, ponzu, or light citrus dressing for the best flavor.
