Cooking tips
- It is essential to pierce the crab's mouth with a knife to properly drain the transparent liquid blood; otherwise, during air-frying, the protein will coagulate and create a strong fishy smell.
- For autumn cooking, choose male crabs ('suge') that are fully packed and offer great value; they yield thicker, sweeter meat.
- After eating all the grilled crab meat, mix the remaining mayo butter sauce with the crab innards on the shell, add warm rice and seasoned seaweed flakes, and stir for a perfect side dish.
Recommended for
- Those who want to break away from the usual steamed or boiled crab dishes and enjoy a creamy, grilled style similar to high-end Japanese or Western restaurants.
- Those who want to maximize the umami of shellfish with a foolproof trio of butter, savory mayonnaise, and fragrant garlic.
- Those who want to serve a luxurious-looking seafood main dish, as if baked in an oven, using just an air fryer.
