Flower crab

Kkotge 꽃게

Korean flower crabs (kkotge) are the most popular and well-loved ocean crabs in Korea. They are distinguished for being full of sweet meat and having a soft shell.

It’s best if you can find them fresh and live, Korean markets also sell them frozen, too, which can be good in a pinch.
