Crabs (Kep)



Keb city is located along the western coastline of Cambodia because it has a beautiful beach that attracts the tourists to visit and relax on the beautiful beach. But mostly they come to enjoy the fresh seafood like: snails, squids, fishes and especially is crabs because it is a popular food for tourists that visit here.

Crabs is a kind of animal that can be live in water and on land. It has two eyes that swollen outside and ten arms with a single pair of chelae. Do you know crab doesn’t have bone it just covered with a thick exoskeleton. Generally crabs typically walk sideways.

We can conspicuous of crabs, male have one claw which is greatly enlarged than female and we can another conspicuous difference is the form of the abdomen, in most male crabs; this is narrow and triangular in form. But female have a broader, rounded abdomen. This is due to crabs brood fertilized eggs on their abdomen.

We can see crabs have been cooked so yummy like boil crabs, fried crabs with pepper and curry crabs. And crabs also give advantage to our health too.
Crabs are a natural resource for Cambodia and Keb city is a national treasure so we need to protect them both for the next generation to enjoy.
