Mud Crab

Mud Crab

Live mud crab (also known as green crab or mangrove crab), sourced from clean aquaculture waters or wild-caught. The shell ranges from greenish-blue to orange-red, with powerful, thick claws and a plump, pristine white underside. Male crabs boast rich golden roe while females display coveted red-orange egg sacs. The meat is sweet, firm, and well-defined in fiber. Rigorously screened for liveliness, shipped in insulated boxes with ice packs and securely bound. Perfect for ginger-scallion stir-fry, curry, black pepper, glass noodle pot, and many more classic preparations.
