Welcome to our seafood cutting tutorial! In this video, we demonstrate professional fresh crab cutting and cleaning techniques for chefs, fishmongers, and home cooks. Learn the step-by-step process to clean, cut, and prepare crabs like a pro:

✅ Step 1: Rinse the Crab – Start by washing the crab thoroughly under cold running water to remove sand and dirt.

✅ Step 2: Remove the Apron – Flip the crab over and lift the apron (the triangular flap) and pull it off.

✅ Step 3: Detach the Shell (Carapace) – Hold the crab firmly and gently lift the top shell from the back. Discard or keep it based on your recipe.

✅ Step 4: Clean the Inside – Remove the gills (dead man's fingers), stomach, and any other inedible parts.

✅ Step 5: Break into Halves or Quarters – With a sharp knife or cleaver, cut the crab into halves or quarters, depending on your recipe needs.

✅ Step 6: Crack the Claws & Legs – Lightly crack the claws and legs with a mallet or the back of a knife for easier eating and better flavor absorption.

🍋 Bonus Tip: Soak the cleaned pieces in ice water to firm up the meat before cooking!

👉 Perfect for chili crab, butter crab, steamed crab, or curry recipes!
