Receta Boiled Crabs with Fennel
Back in the Philippines crabs are abundant and huge in size, here is the opposite and it’s hard to find large sized crabs and if you do find some they are expensive. We cook them in different ways like with vegetables and coconut cream or like relleno but sometimes we just boil them and eat them bear hands with rice, the fatty ones are even better we mix that orange brightly coloured crab fat with rice. For this post we will be making something similar to the simple boiled crabs but it will be enhanced with Fennel and lemon.
Ingredients
- 6 pcs large Paddle Crabs, 3 pcs Dungeness Crab or 3 pcs Mud Crabs

- 4 tbsp minced fennel
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, minced
- 2 tbsp chopped carrots
