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!

Sand crabs breathe through gills, in the same way that fish do. On land, sand crabs breathe by keeping their gills moist to facilitate the absorption of oxygen in the air.
Yes. The females mainly attack each other. Also some crabs just play with other crabs and it looks like they are attacking.
