At a glance
Why buying live crab matters
Live crab gives customers a clearer view of freshness, movement and condition before purchase. Instead of buying blindly, you can compare sizes and ask which crab suits your meal.
Live seafood tank vs supermarket crab
Supermarket crabs may be convenient, but live seafood tanks offer a more transparent buying experience. You can see whether the crab is active and choose based on the day’s available stock.
What to look for when buying live crab
Look beyond weight. Ask about shell condition, meat quality, suitable cooking style and whether the crab is better for steaming, chilli crab, black pepper crab or bee hoon.
