Eating a Bright-Eyed Crab raw will restore one Heart to Link's Life Gauge. They can also be roasted by a Fire to make Blackened Crab or chilled by Ice to make Frozen Crab. Cooking one in a Cooking Pot will result in a meal with Stamina-restoring effects.^[1]

Trivia

• According to Beedle, Bright-Eyed Crabs can be Cooked along with Monster Parts to create an Elixir that recovers Stamina.^[4] However, this is incorrect as Bright-Eyed Crabs do not count as "critters" and will produce Dubious Food when combined with Monster Parts.
