I used blue crabs for this Chili Crab recipe but mangrove (mud) crabs would also be perfect. It would be better if I could get fresh crabs instead of the frozen one that I was able to manage to get here in Germany. Back in my hometown Pampanga, it is a lot easier to get fresh big mangrove (mud) crabs. Our Chili Crab (which is commonly sold all over singapore)is much more complicated so this recipe is much more suitable to cook at home.
