If you see one on dry sand, wet sand it is going on, and then carefully, quickly, and gently scoop it up, and some sand around it. Drop it, and it won't ever let anyone pick him up again! He will rebury himself in the sand running backwards.Good luck!

It is up to personal preference to whether you eat sand crabs or not.. But the legal catch limit for a Blue swimmer (or sand crab) is 11.5cm

Cook for around 7-10 minutes depending on the size.. Make sure they are in boiling water and its 7-10 minutes from when the water re-boils once the crab is in.. Make sure the water is salty as this brings out the best flavour :)

you catch it by holding the shell. just be careful to not go near the biggest claw they have, Their left (bigger) claw. They can be painful. Also, dont make it stressed out by holding it too long, and dont drop it.

By using pincers to tear and bite that's how they kill their prey!
