Crabs
These crabs being killed by the fish monger for us. We bought a few crabs and the fish monger is helping us kill it. Killing it ourselves can be quite traumatic at home. LOL!
There are many ways to kill crabs, how do you do it?
Dinner was Chilli Crabs & Butter Crabs. Do you like to eat crabs?
Leif Hagen, Crab prices are seasonal. If you have them in the restaurants famous for crabs, you pay around $120 for two crabs. If you buy them fresh at the market, you pay $90 for 6 crabs.
Some people pierce the eye, some freeze them in the freezer till they are unconscious. The fish monger just use his big cleaver to chop it in half!
Taoism, This is at the Bukit Timah Market. We thought they were going to be tiny ones but the fish monger reserved huge ones for us. Can't remember how many kilos, but it was a lot! They clean it for us too. Seasonal prices, but last weekend it was $90 for the 6 we had.
I am really interested here. So sorry, not around here and so when you say Bukit Timah market, I can ask a local and everyone should know? To my knowledge, Bukit Timah is a long road that runs accross Singapore. Also, if can do you have the number?
Interesting photo. Are the crabs expensive? Do you kill the crabs with a small baseball bat? This picture makes me hungry!
ReplyDeleteWhere do you get the crabs and for how much?

My mother used to kill them (and lobster, too) by putting them in a pot of boiling water.
ReplyDeleteShe never killed them before hand, just killed them when she cooked them.
Right, they froze them in the freezer but sis still get bitten by the crabs. I always tried not to cook crabs at home, so much work.

Monkey Girl,
ReplyDeleteThat's a very American way of doing it right? :-)
Alicesg,
Asking the fish monger to do it the easiest way! Then bring home and cook it immediately :-)
Taoism,
No number, but Bukit Timah market is near to Bukit Timah Plaza / Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School area.
Shantaram,
Seen the docs to see how u can get rid of the allergy? Poor thing :-(
