Crab sticks is a type of processed sea food made of surimi, or finely pulverized white fish flesh, that has been shaped and cured to vaguely resemble snow crab legs.

U go eat chicken rice if u dont want the bone u ask the uncle remove the bones.
Same thing applies to crab lah though not everyone provides the service.

To answer your question:

1. Get a big crab!
2. Get someone who loves you to peel it for you!

Sorry bear, I know you don't appreciate pincer meat but for people who don't like to peel, this the easy way out!

BTW you'd love going to Thailand where they peel everything for you and you get the whole crab deshelled on a plate, legs and all and the crabs are like 600g one only. Believe me, it is better to peel yourself. The thought of some elderly Thai lady peeling the crab for me behind the kitchen is quite unsavoury. Don't know if they use their teeth to break the shell......

Bear has turned crab eating into an art Laughing

You should look at him removing the snow crab flesh from the shell

I think the body and legs of a crab are the tastiest

Where is a good and not too expensive place for Snow Crab? How much do you have to pay and how is it cooked?
