Food guide: You must eat in Taihu Lake. Today I will introduce you to the crabs in Taihu Lake.

As the third largest freshwater lake in China, Taihu Lake is much larger than Yangcheng Lake. There are boathouses on the lake where tourists can go fishing and eat freshly caught fish, shrimps and crabs on the boat.

The shells of the hairy crabs from Taihu Lake are very hard and shiny, and the meat is firm and sweet. They are similar to the hairy crabs from Yangcheng Lake and are not cheap.

When to eat female crabs and when to eat male crabs? As the saying goes, there are nine females and ten males. The best time to eat female crabs is when the sweet-scented osmanthus blooms. When the sweet-scented osmanthus falls and the chrysanthemums bloom, the male crab’s gonads reach their most mature state.

It will be delicious until the end of December.

In fact, when it comes to eating crabs, Gaoyou Lake and Yangcheng Lake have good crabs.

Gaoyou Lake is a hanging lake, a completely pollution-free water area. The water here may not look clear because there are crabs walking around at the bottom of the lake.

The color of crab paste raised in Gaoyou Lake is deeper than that of Yangcheng Lake and Taihu Lake, and the smell is very fragrant.

Comparing the crabs from these three major lakes, there is actually not much difference in the taste of good crabs. The crabs from Yangcheng Lake have a fresh and sweet taste, but the water smell is strong, the crabs from Taihu Lake have a light and sweet taste, and the crabs from Gaoyou Lake are bigger.

The crab paste is plump and sweet. Friends who like crab paste can choose the one from Gaoyou Lake.

In fact, if you don’t compare the food, you may not know where the crabs come from. So when you eat crabs, don’t insist on being from Yangcheng Lake. As long as the water quality is good and the science of breeding is good, the taste of the crabs will not be wrong.

Even Yangcheng Lake will have crabs that are not well raised and taste bad.

Also, due to the uncertainty of natural conditions, the taste of wild crabs may not be better than that of artificially raised crabs, because the food in the lake area cannot keep up with the nutritional needs of crab growth, but if they are branded as wild, the price will be driven up.

So it’s up to you to choose a crab.
