should we pay for Crabs and the rope?
-
I think the key is knowledge.
In the past, we all gong gong got slaughtered. But now, we have some basis.
Now, it is made known, perhaps the catcher or supplier may want to use less ropes. Perhaps they under illusion that there are bulls or oxens..
Yes, we singaporean complain cause we want to get the most money value.
cause frankly, it is not easy to earn money leh.
Now, we are highlighting about the external factors.
For me, sometimes, I do prefer to get the durians after they are "de-shelled". Cause I can't accept that they weight the durians with the shell and charge me when what I can eat minus the seed is like 1/10 the weight.
But that's just me.
As for Alaskan crabs, if you really eat it outside singapore, you will realise they only go after the legs, even forgoing the claws.
Back to topic, the fact is that 400gm crab, 350gm string, but you pay for 750gm. Okie for you? If okie, fine go ahead. Your choice.. I respect that.
For me, I may order cause it is my wife's favourite, but I may just cast a closer look at the strings when they show me the crab.
Which leds to another thing, how you know the crab you choose is the one you eat...

pls lah..wat typical singaporean...
i know you fking rich can pay $33/kg for rope...but obviously u dnt use yr brain
lets say retailer sell to hawker $27/kg (with rope)...then hawker sell u $33/kg
extra $6 for cooking seasoning etc...
the prob here is they dont cook the rope! so why shd we pay $33/kg for the rope...u say pass down the cost u pass down as $27/kg not $33/kg -
They will remove the crab.
Next thing you find is your finger lost... -
crab shell we cannot eat too? i dun think it will be fair we are paying for crab shell too.

turf city got sell rite?Originally posted by jianfish9:I know you watch alot of "The Deadliest Catch" on Discovery Channel. I also watch alot of foodie show as well.
But then, Alaskan king crab is not really wide spread in Sg coz its so expensive. I went Hokkaido eat and its like 200bucks a crab. Don't think Singaporeans got stomach to eat such a expensive crab at kopitiam. The crab is Sg is not even near halfway the size of the Alaskan King Crab. Even then, the crab there also never use as much rope as the one I saw in the newspaper.
Using 350gm of rope for a 400gm crab is also hell of alot. I think 350gm of raffian string can tie a normal person up really well. One entire roll of raffian also not so heavy. Unless the Alaskan king crab is stronger than a human then I nothing to say.
