1. The cut surface of the swimming crab is sticky with starch, which can wrap the crab meat and crab roe inside so that the crab meat will not fall out when fried. 2. Swimming crabs are cold in nature and eating too much is bad for the stomach and intestines, so no matter how delicious they are, don’t eat too much.
