Instruction manual
1
Before starting the process of preparing cancer, cleanse its intestines. To do this, put the cancer in a container with plain milk, cover and leave for several hours. The longer the better. Leave the best for the whole night. This cleaning process can significantly improve the taste of cancer.

When the cancer is prepared according to the recipe of your choice, the most important moment comes before eating it - cleansing the cancer. Turn the cancer so that its neck is pointing up. Gently with a knife or small scissors pry the carapace on the neck and begin to separate it, starting from the place of their connection. It is best to clean the neck not from the side of the tail, but from the other side opposite to it, since it is there that chitin has a softer structure and separates well. The neck of a cancer is called its entire tail. This is the most delicious and easy to clean place. The neck cleansing process is reminiscent of shrimp cleansing.

After the carapace from the neck is cleaned, divide the pulp into two equal parts. When dividing, a black stripe will be visible - this is the intestine and it is not necessary to eat.
4
Now break off the claws. Claws are cleaned in the same way as seeds. Hold the claw across and push. The content of the claw will pop out by itself, and the claw shell can be thrown out. It is easiest to clean the claws with your teeth and squeeze the contents directly into your mouth. The fact is that the contents in the claws are too liquid and if, while cleaning the claws, squeeze out all the contents on a plate, that is, it will be very difficult. Now all the cancer has been cleaned, and the meat can be eaten, and everything else is thrown out.
note
Some do not pre-clean the cancer in milk, as a result of which breaking the neck on a plate may cause an unpleasant-looking green slurry to fall out - these are the products of the cancer’s vital activity.
