1. In the store you can buy already separated crab claws. If you have a crab whole, then separate the claws from the body will not be so simple. In this case, it is best to cook the crab first as a whole.

2. For convenience, the claws of a crab can be divided into several parts.

3. The meat in the claws of the crab is a little different from the white meat on the shell. It is not as tender and juicy.

4. If you don't have time to cook a delicious meal, you can just boil crab claws gently with a knife to extract the meat and make a very simple salad: add in the crab meat sliced onions, boiled eggs. Season with oil, vinegar and lemon juice.
