Not so much lately more towards flower crab , during late February was non-stop mud crab. Guess they tone down already :\

oic anyway hope to see yr catch report someday melw =)

Wow, Never knew flower crabs arms could grew back! That something new for me! Have only heard of thunder crab Big pincer growing! Anyone tried eating thunder's pincer before? don't look safe!

All crabs can grow back their claw back, they often lose it to fighting for mates, defending territory or to escape predators. I've tried thunder crab claw once, it tastes okay.

I don't dare to break off the thunder crab pincer~! everytime catch than very scared to break it off leh, i scared pull too hard very pain for the crab, so in the end release. What is the proper way to do it leh?

There's no way you can break off an arm without looking cruel, it is part of the crab afterall. Just break it and avoid getting snipped by it. And there's the always the argument how much pain they actually feel, if any.

hello bros! i have gone crabbing with my dad at sembawang jetty for about 3 times already.. damn fun to see the crabs land on the trap la. but so far all the flower crabs there are really small. anyone knows of a better place with bigger and more edible flower crabs?

Hi law, welcome to HLF. The crabs caught at Sembawang is often small because traps are laid there daily, it's still pretty amazing that they're still in such high numbers despite the small size. For bigger crabs, you might probably want to check out the east side like Punggol end, Changi Kelong Walk or beach or even Ubin.

Thanks Peace! we went to sembawang jetty cos we saw quite a few people there crabbing. punggol would be fantastic since i stay in hougang personally. but which part of punggol ah? the jetty? the last time i was there, there was quite a bit of construction and all!
