Because crabs are not fat, have low protein content, ovaries are not lumpy, and liver energy is low.

Crabs that are not fat will be thin and loose yellow when cooked, and they may even taste bitter.

Hairy crabs are a type of river crab. The scientific name of river crab is Chinese mitten crab.

In my country, it is widely distributed along the long coastline from Liaohe River in the north to the Pearl River in the south. Among them, the Yangtze River system has the largest yield and the most delicious taste.

Generally speaking, hairy crabs specifically refer to Chinese mitten crabs from the Yangtze River system.

Now introduced and cultivated in all major lake areas, hairy crabs used to lay eggs in the coastal waters of the Yangtze River Estuary. After growing into young crabs, they migrated against the Yangtze River and grew in the lakes, rivers and harbor branches in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Nowadays, hairy crab dishes are launched in restaurants of various cuisines, whether they are Cantonese restaurants, Sichuan restaurants, or Korean restaurants, but only the origin of cuisine from all over the world can be said to be authentic, and the hairy crabs sold in Jiangnan must be legitimate, regardless of the origin and taste of the hairy crabs.

All will promote the food culture of Jiangnan.
