Recently I ate crabs with sensei so I learnt a few new words about crab.
蟹（かに）crab.
I think since the kanji is difficult, they usually just use the hiragana or katakana カニ
殻（から）shell
剥く（むく）peel
So 蟹の殻を剥くmeans 'to peel a crab's shell'.
Crab's pincer is called かにのはさみ. はさみ means scissors. The reason we add の is because かにはさみ refers instead to the special scissors used to break crab shells.
