    During no moon & Full moon day +/- 2 days you should not buy.

    while selecting you have to select hard one then only you can get flesh

    soft & weight less crab don't have flesh inside and it is unhealthy too

    Hi, thanks that someone here posted something like this. You reminded me about crabs because I am about to ask my mom too. Anyway, to find others' views and tips, I immediately search on how to pick good crabs to cook - I think, a good idea on how to pick the best with recipe as well is right here!
