Huynh De Crab - King Crab

Khanh Hoa is renowned for its variety of fresh, delicious, and affordable seafood, including shrimp, sea snails, mussels, lobsters, and oysters. However, the star of the show is undoubtedly the Huynh De Crab, a unique specialty that captivates both locals and visitors. This distinctive crab resembles a small turtle and has become a culinary icon in this coastal province.

While Huynh De Crab can be prepared in various dishes, the simplest and most flavorful options remain boiled or roasted crab. When enjoyed without the interference of intricate spices, the pure, delectable taste of the crab meat truly shines. Diners are encouraged to savor Huynh De Crab with their hands—eschewing utensils—to fully relish the experience. The process involves carefully breaking off the claws, removing the shell, splitting the body in half, and extracting the succulent white crabmeat. Dipping it in a tangy lemon sauce before taking a bite is a delightful finishing touch that enhances the enjoyment.

Boiled crab offers a pure and natural flavor, while roasted crab presents a delightful blend of salty sea essence. This dish requires a bit more preparation, beginning with cutting the crab into smaller pieces and marinating it with fish sauce and salt. The mixture is then cooked in a hot frying pan and enhanced with secret spices known only to the local community. The result is a mouthwatering dish that retains the distinctive flavor of Huynh De crab while offering a saltier note compared to its boiled counterpart. As with the boiled variety, the experience of enjoying roast crab is elevated when eaten by hand!
