Gay crab meaning

But one of the odd questions I was asked when interviewed for this episode was to talk about “gay” crabs, or what local market vendors refer to as “bakla”. Frankly, for years, I have simply purchased female crabs with aligue if I wanted the richness of the crab coral, or male crabs for almost any other use.

Crabs are known to exist in one of three genders, but how can one determine which is which? On Wednesday’s “24 Oras,” Kuya Kim said one can see it straight from the markings on their shells. While the males have a pointed abdomen, the females have rounded ones. The so-called “bakla” crabs.

What is bakla crab? What is commonly known as “bakla” (gay) crabs are actually juvenile female crabs and are known to have the sweetest and juiciest meat. Whatever you pick, make sure they are alive prior to cooking.

We had one crab in sotanghon and one fried— which we regretted slightly when the same man who had discovered the gay crab said, loudly, that the only way to go was steamed, with live crabs.
