I've handled and cooked these blue crabs a few times in my life but I've always been extremely careful not to get pinched. But I've seen the workers handling them and they're just grabbing them barehanded without giving a fuck. Maybe they're just good at not getting pinched or maybe crab claws aren't as fearsome as they look.. How much does it hurt to actually get got?

Anon, you grab the end of the claw and HOLD it tight pinching it and blocking it from pinching, not put your hands in the pincers.

That's a pretty crab

they only nip beta males. the alpha crabmen never get nipped because the crabs know they are tough guys.

anon they put the crabs on ice before they get handled by workers. It puts them in a sort of comatose state, still alive but not exactly conscious anymore. I've been pinched before as a kid catching them with chicken necks and string and it hurts quite a bit and they don't let go easily either
