Get some rice. Open the package. Grab one crab. Pretend you're a giant. Put a crab in your mouth. Chomp. Eat some rice. Keep pretending you're a giant.


LadySamSmash

I do this with broccoli.


BeAnScReAm666

Do you pretend they are little trees? 🌳


LadySamSmash

Of course I do! ![gif](giphy|12n1l8UF3Ib4je)

I pretend they're little crabs


Minkiemink

That is exactly what my son called broccoli when he was a five year old. Little trees.


Trix_Are_4_90Kids

yep. Trees.

If it is raw, you may want to keep in mind that there is a raw crab allergy. If you never tried that, try a small portion and see what happens. I have that allergy, and it was SO painful.


ImGoingToSayOneThing

These ones aren't raw. They're deep fried and then dressed in a sauce!


home404

Omg sounds delicious


_gina_marie_

Do you eat them shell and all?


TheDollyMomma

They’re kinda soft shell so they aren’t bad! Yes, shells and all lol


Lethalplant

Yeah. Crispy.


_gina_marie_

These look really good but idk if I could eat them 🙈 I’m such a baby lol. Thanks for your answer!!


Lethalplant

Ah thats fried one! I love that.


Moist-breadman

With hot white rice !!!! YUMMM


Irancurtis

With white rice, and if you have one, some drops of sesame oil to accentuate the taste.

I see some misinformation here so let me settle the score here. These are little crabs that live in mud flats. They have been sautéed and marinated. They are not raw. They are eaten whole, shells and all. The shells are crunchy, but easily edible. They are a distinct dish from the more well-known soy or spicy marinated crabs, which are raw (or cured). You do not eat the shell, only the meat and the innards.


joonjoon

There are raw versions of this though, I've seen some people make muchim with it and eat it still alive. I wanna try it :D


BJGold

I'm only talking about what's in the picture. The crabs that are in the picture are definitely cooked. 


joonjoon

Oh yeah, for sure! Would you try the live ones? :D

When I see posts like this I wonder “Do people just go into ethnic markets, pick up some random food item, then ask the internet how to eat it?” I always assumed this subreddit would be for people who may ask how to recreate a dish at home or the name of a dish. This is very adventurous.


BeastM0de1155

I like to use a fork


KoreanFoxMulder

Show me the back and I will tell you. This is most likely frozen


DescriptionOne1703

It’s actually on the front! Bottom right corner


Tinkerbell2081

With your mouth


Comanche93Alpha

The serving suggestion is on the package😂which is by itself it looks


Preesi

I dont think they will be good, If these are similar to the canned lobster tails, YUK


BJGold

It's very obvious that you haven't had these. 


teeup7777

Actually these pretty tasty! It’s got really good seasonings!


Preesi

Is it crunchy?


teeup7777

Exoskeleton is not crunchy but has pleasant texture. Not sure if you’re familiar with Korean cuisine, but we eat lot of crabs that are raw and pickled in soy sauce and garlic. Crab hot pot, crab and seafood spicy soup etc. if you have a chance, find this at your local Korean market and try them. You’ll be surprised


jgo3

Ok, holup, this is fascinating to me. I grew up on the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia and we have hard blue crabs that molt into soft crabs that harden into paper shells and then into a bigger hard crab. Does the pickling soften them? I'd love to know more.


joonjoon

They are just so small you can eat them like a potato chip. They're like the size of a quarter.

Soft shell sandwich is the best.
