to be exact, it's called octopus, which is a common benthic organism in tidal flats and wetlands. But usually we say it's a little crab.

octopus grows in the Yangtze river when it is young, and it is an important bait for fish. When it grows up, it climbs to the beach and becomes an important object for birds. In addition, octopus itself also eats all kinds of small creatures and plants, thus playing a role in the food chain.

How to eat:

First, the octopus pincers are pickled in a jar and eaten as pickles. When frying sliced vegetables in winter, pour a spoonful of pickled octopus juice. The fried vegetables are tender and not yellow, and the sliced vegetables are particularly refreshing. Cucumber slices mixed with peeled skin are cooked and eaten, which is delicious.

the second is to peel off the octopus, wash it, drain the water, pour it into a hot oil pan, add seasoning, stir fry in the pan, sprinkle some water, and simmer for a while. When the juice is dried and the color of the scorpion changes, it can be cooked. It is a dish with good color, flavor and shape.

thirdly, the octopus can be peeled off and mashed together with the octopus claws to make a condiment called "octopus sauce", which tastes as good as crab sauce.

fourthly, the octopus pincers are soaked in high-alcohol liquor, and after ten days, they will become "drunk octopus pincers", which is extremely appetizing to eat, whether it's drinking or making a rice hammer. Anyway, it's an "irresistible temptation" to put them on the table.

Of course, there are other ways to eat octopus, such as deep-frying, noodles dragging, making soup with claw meat, mashing and steaming soup, and so on, all of which are delicious.
