Album Info:
(DSC07700) Curacha also known as spanner crab or red frog crab is a local Chavacano name given to a sea crab species found in Zamboanga. It is a highbred crustacean, with crossbreed characteristics of a large sea crab and a big spiny lobster. It is a large crab with a red color, which stays the same in color even when cooked. The crab is usually steamed or boiled so its flavor is preserved. (Taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curacha) Note: Spanner Crabs move in a forwards-backwards motion, unlike other crabs who move sideways.
