The sand crab is very clever and difficult to catch. It is not suitable for digging holes in muddy beaches, and there is often a "right hole". You dig here and it runs there. According to the characteristics that the sand crab is firmly clamped when it sees something, the fisherman puts a rope into the hole and slowly pulls it out to trap it, commonly known as "sand crab".

The captured sand crab should not be washed or raised with water, so when it enters the market, it is still covered with mud. However, the sand crab is cheap and of good quality. After being fried, it is the most popular meat dish with wine and rice.

The sand crab has a small body and small feet, which makes it very troublesome to eat. Villagers often chew with shells, which are delicious. At the same time, Sanbei people have a small mortar at home, which is used to grind sand crabs into crab paste, add some salt and wine, bottle and pickle them, and give them to distant relatives and friends, or store them until the off-season.
