We’re here to list some must-have utensils perfect for eating crabs, making your dining experience easier and cleaner.
Crabs can be a delicious and fulfilling seafood dish but are usually messy and difficult to eat at times. The struggle of cracking open crabs to reach the delicious meat inside can be hard, even for seafood lovers. Although the struggle is worth it after tasting the lovely crab meat, we’re here to list some must-have utensils perfect for eating crabs, making your dining experience easier and cleaner. Read on to learn more!
Crab Bibs
Eating crabs could be very messy, so crab bibs are usually offered at seafood restaurants. Crab bibs are essentially disposable, large napkins placed around your neck, usually made from plastic or paper. Although they might not be fashionable, wearing a crab bib helps prevent food from ever getting on your clothes while you eat.
Crab Knives
Crab knives are utensils used for removing the shell and picking crabs apart. While crab knives are usually smaller in size, they’re heavy enough to crack open a shell and sharp enough to pick apart any crab meat.
Crab Mallets
A crab mallet is helpful in cracking open the shell of a crab without ever smashing it. They’re lightweight and designed with longer handles and small, solid heads. Crab mallets could help you save time while you try to eat entire crabs.
Seafood Crackers
As the name says, a seafood cracker is essential for cracking the shell of crab claws, allowing you to get the meat inside very easily. With a similar design to nutcrackers, a pair of seafood crackers let you grip the handles on the utensils to easily crack the exterior of a crab’s hard shell, accessing the meat that is inside.
Seafood Pick
A seafood pick is a long, slender utensil used for scooping the meat out of crab legs. Using seafood picks will ensure that you do not leave any meat behind in your shell, making the meal much more fulfilling.
