Cooked spider crab recipe

Ingredients to make cooked spider crab:

• 1 crab weighing 1 kg
• 1 handful of salt (just like it sounds)
• Water to cover the spider crab

How to make cooked spider crab:

1. Put a saucepan with water, just enough to cover the spider crab.
2. Add a handful of salt (the measure is a handful per kg).
3. Deposit the live spider crab with its legs up, leaving it for about 2 hours, until it is dead.
4. Place the casserole over low heat and leave it boiling for 10 minutes starting from the moment the bubbles begin.
5. The cooking will be done with an uncovered casserole and removing the foam that appears with a strainer.
6. When choosing a crab, you have to look at the tips of the nails; if they have hair they are sandy; if they do not have it, they are made of rock.
7. These are tastier.
8. It is also convenient to look at their guts, being preferable those with black spots to those with red ones.
9. Those with a pale color are preferable to those with a stronger hue.
10. The ideal size ranges from 1 to 1.2 kg.
