Quick Takeaways
Start with how you want to cook it
A good crab choice depends on the dish. Chilli crab, black pepper crab, steamed crab and crab bee hoon may all suit different sizes and meat profiles.
Look beyond weight
Many customers focus only on kilograms, but a good crab also depends on freshness, shell condition and meat quality. A large crab is not useful if the condition is poor.
Shell condition matters
A firm shell can be a useful sign of maturity and meat condition. Weak or soft shells may affect the eating experience depending on the crab.
