It's only one small crab, but I'm thankful that I can eat it, and it's quite tasty. At first, I thought it tasted a little fishy, but the moderately spicy soy sauce goes very well with it.
호정 Klue
I don't know if it's not fresh, but after just two bites, my tongue and mouth are numb. Although the soy sauce tastes good, I don’t dare to eat it anymore and the whole jar is thrown away.
Daphne
It's quite a spicy seasoning, but whenever I've ordered it so far, it's always had eggs and was in good condition. It's easy to take out and eat because there's only one in a can. I fill it up with soy sauce marinated crab cravings..?

I didn’t expect there was only one ??? The salty and spicy ones are okay, but the yellow ones are also available.
