Pike crabs are considered to be the red people at the dinner table
The taste is quite delicious
However, recently, a netizen in Xiaoshan encountered one thing, and his scalp was tingling:
She bought a few pike crabs, peeled them off and found that there were some dense "crazy" things on the crab's gills.
She felt like a bug, but wasn't sure what it was, and took a few photos to ask everyone.
Netizens actually take pictures

The landlord added in the comments that she bought 4 pike crabs, all of which were fresh, and only the largest crab had these things on its gills.
She felt that this crab was not normal, so she directly lost it...
Netizens in the comment area said that they had also bought this crab and felt disgusted when they saw it.
Some netizens speculated that this may be a parasite of pike crabs; some netizens said that this is normal, after all, it is seafood, as long as it is thoroughly cooked safe and worry-free.
Netizen @ Chuangjie Finance: Parasites only, a lot of aquatic products.
Netizen @ Wild Ultraman : Feels like maggots at first glance.
Netizen @ Teppanyaki Squid: Barnacles, just cut it off.
Netizen @ reunion said hello: Today I bought it, and my appetite is gone.
Netizen @ Xi Aili: Is more than twenty years of life experience zero? Isn't that normal?
Netizen @ Purple Flower Cat : Rinse clean and cooked to eat.
Netizen @buzzi: Normal, thorough cooked food safe and worry-free.
Netizen @ Star Dream Tomorrow: Ming Lotus, crustaceans, not parasites, harmless to people, cooked can be assured to eat, if not assured to throw it.
So, what is the sesame-like thing on the crab's cheek?
It is understood that the pink creatures in the photo are called "Ming Lotus", which belongs to the crustaceans of crustaceans.
Cui Zhaoxia, a crab expert at the Institute of Oceanography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has said that it is not a parasite, but epiphytic, so it will not absorb the nutrients of crabs, but appearing in the crab's gills will affect the crab's breathing.
"Generally speaking, the lotus attached to the crab's gills will not be eaten into the body, because when everyone eats the crab, the crab gills will be removed." Cui Chaoxia said that although the creature Minghe is harmless to the human body, it will still cause visual discomfort when it sees a large number of attachments in crabs.

In fact, this phenomenon of attachment is very common in marine shellfish organisms, such as small barnacles attached to oyster shells, etc., you don't have to worry, just cook it thoroughly when eating crabs.
In addition to cooked food, many Xiaoshan people also have a special love for drunken crabs. Here to remind everyone, when eating, be sure to remove crab gills and other parts that are easy to be parasitic.
