Hi Shilpa,

Can you pls. let me know how to clean crab? I tried this recipe last night and I could just get the shredded crab meat out from the shell. Also, I cooked it on very low fire and still the meat was not cooked. (finally baked it in the oven) Also, since the meat was shreded, I did not know how to fry it, so mixed breadcrums in it and made patties! It tested great inspite of all the distaters!

This is an absolutely fantastic website. Your recipes are such a joy to read, and I am certainly set to try some.

It is rare to come across someone so genuine in food writing, nowadays.

Keep up the good work.

Just stumbled upon this website…

Thanks for posting the crab recipe! Looks great!

I love cooking myself especially crab curry, but never had tried crab fry this way! I have seen the blue crabs here in chinese stores…can’t wait for my next experiment!

Cheers, Hemanth

You should try “Fried Blue Crabs” the way we do here in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. Mix crab boil, melted butter & milk. Soak crabs in mixture for a few minutes, then coat with seafood breader and deep fry in peanut oil. If you’ve ever had fried crabs before you will love this recipe.

I am a fan of crabs too, but not from childhood. I ate it for the first time after marriage. We don’t buy if often because of the difficulty in cleaning. Our local farmer’s market has live crabs.
Aayi’s recipe looks great.

Divya, I got raw crabs only. You need not cook them before frying. Believe me they get cooked from inside also when you fry them on the tava. I had the same doubts when I got the recipe .
