Ginataang Alimasag is a Filipino seafood dish where blue crabs are steamed and simmered in spiced coconut milk with string beans and squash. The crabs soak up the rich coconut sauce flavor, making them even more mouthwatering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alimasag vs Alimango<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Alimasa<\/em>g and alimango <\/em>can be used interchangeably in recipes, but they're actually two different crab species. Alimango are large crabs with large, fat claws and smooth, evenly-colored shells. They're also known as mud or black crab and live in freshwater. Alimasag, on the other hand, has thin claws or legs and a thorny, usually spotted shell (but not always). They live in saltwater and are also called blue or white sea crabs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crabs we used in the photos are alimango as they were the only ones we could find in the wet markets the day the pictures were shot. In the video below are alimasag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
