What is white and sticky in male crabs is crab paste, mainly male accessory gonads and their secretions. After the male crab matures, the accessory gonads are extremely developed, occupying most of the reproductive system, and even jacking up the crab shell. The accessory gonads are rich in proteins, lipids and other nutrients, which are of high nutritional value and very delicious.

The natural state of crab paste is bluish white translucent jelly-like liquid; After steaming, it is translucent, sticky and a little greasy.

The integrity of crab paste has nothing to do with its taste and nutritional value. In the wild environment, in September of the lunar calendar, the crab roe of the female crab grows the most plump; In October, the crab paste (crab oil) of male crabs grows thickest. Therefore, in the past, eating crabs was said to be "nine females and ten males". It means: we should eat female crabs in September and male crabs in October.
