Blue Crabs were on sale at our local H-Mart supermarket for only $1.99 / lb, so I had to get some!
Since it was only me eating crabs today, I decided to just get seven of them. I cleaned them up first before cooking them removing the deadman's fingers (basically, their gills) and also the innards (some call it the tamale). I don't eat the tamale like some people do.
Six of the seven crabs were females and they all had eggs. I tried to keep as much of the eggs, but cleaning out the insides, you lose a lot of it.
I stir-fried them in the large outdoor wok with scallions, ginger, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Stir-frying the crabs is the easiest way to cook them.
Thanks to my wife for giving me a nice plate to use to take a final photo of the crabs!
