This Mid-Autumn Festival, Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs seem to be absent. Then, among crab commodities, is it only hairy crabs that deserve the Mid-Autumn Festival? Is there no other crab to replace it? Some people recommend Panjin river crab. In fact, Panjin river crabs are a big category. It has three species, namely rice crab, Hetao crab and wetland crab. These three species have their own characteristics.
The first kind of rice crab is a river crab mixed in rice fields. Because the feed is rich, it is relatively large, plump and excellent growth environment, which makes the rice crab yellow and full of fat.
The second kind of Hetao crab belongs to the wild crab, because the feed is not enough for artificial breeding, and the crabs here are generally small, and because they are in the wild, they taste delicious. When choosing crabs, it is necessary to see whether their shells are bright and smooth, which is also a major feature of Hetao crabs, because they have been washed away by water for a long time.
The third kind of wetland crab can combine the advantages of the first two kinds in time. There is plenty of food in the wetland environment, and the crab meat is fat and beautiful. It belongs to wild crabs and has a full taste and flavor. However, fishing in this environment is also difficult, so the most common Panjin crabs on the market are Hetao crabs and rice crabs.
As for the Yangcheng Lake hairy crab and Panjin river crab, which is delicious, they all belong to hairy crabs, and the taste of one variety is not much different. The biggest difference is that from the appearance, hairy crabs with green backs and golden claws are very attractive to guests and gifts, while Panjin river crabs have black backs, brown hair or short legs, which are not as good-looking as hairy crabs from the appearance.
