Follow the step to make the other pincer; Make two small holes on part① and put two apple seeds into the holes; At last, place all the made parts well to shape a cute crab as showed. You can also try other fruits to make a different-colored crab.

Just observe how other people at table eat the crab and then follow them to eat it. If you are not shy, just ask them directly how to eat a crab.

Wan, have you heard of Da Zha Xie (a kind of crab)? The one from the Yangcheng Lake is known to all Chinese people. Usually, Chinese people just steam Da Zha Xie and then eat it by dipping the crab in the sauce. It is said that steaming is the best way to keep the nutrients.

Well, Da Zha Xie is a kind of fresh water crab.
