Blue crab vs 3 dots crab

 

male and female 3 dots crab, blue crab

Very curious to know the difference in taste between these 2 crabs that are similar in price, the best way is to cook them together. Got female and male 3 dots crabs and one male blue crab.

Bake at 200˚C for 15 minutes. 

 

The crab fat from female 3 dots tasted good, the meat is softer than that of the male one.

On comparison, the meat of blue crab is similar to that of female 3 dots. So for meat, the sweeter and firmer choice is 3 dots.
