How to Eat Crabs

In many parts of the world, eating crabs is as much a matter of cultural heritage as it is of enjoyment. While it is undeniably tasty, with its hard shell and nooks and crannies with morsels hidden in them, many people don’t know how to tackle eating them.

Use the tip of the scissors to push out the meat. 7) Cut open the claws and pull out the meat.
