The dish must be enjoyed when it is still hot. Diners divided its body into two pieces; they will see yellow and firm roe, and then extract its white meat. It is often served with chili sauce. Finally, we use pliers to extract firm meat from the hard shell of claws. The dish is more delicious when it is served with white wine.
Swimming crabs are also used for hot pot. Crab meat makes the broth sweeter and tastier. The crab hot pot needs to be added with some spices, sour fruits, and salads (green cabbage or herbs).
