Portunus crab comes from a natural bathing beach.
Zhoushan is the origin of Portunus trituberculatus and one of the world-famous Zhoushan fishing grounds. This is a beautiful and peaceful island, surrounded by the sea and bordering on the East China Sea. Seafood is abundant here, and it is the peak season of wild Portunus trituberculatus from 165438+ 10 to 65438+ 10 the following year.
The natural sea area in Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province has been recognized as unpolluted seawater, so seafood is naturally fresh and clean enough.
Yangcheng Lake, the origin of crabs, is located in the northeast of Suzhou City, across Suzhou City, Industrial Park, Xiangcheng District and Kunshan City. It is one of the important freshwater lakes in Jiangsu Province, rich in hairy crabs.
The second round of pk: time to market
Portunus trituberculatus has a longer time to market than hairy crabs.
The characteristics of swimming crab can be summarized in three words: big, fat and fresh. Portunus trituberculatus is abundant in June, but it can be eaten in August, and it can be eaten every year from August to June. This period is mainly the feeding and fattening period of Portunus trituberculatus, and its body width can reach 10 ~ 13 cm. Eat male crabs in August and September, and eat female crabs from mid-October to before the Spring Festival. Mature swimming crabs mate before wintering, and the mating time can last 1 to 2 days. In this process, the male crab often swims with the female crab, and the swimming crab in this period is the most plump.
For hairy crabs, it is best to eat female crabs in the middle of August and September in the solar calendar. If you eat male crabs, the time when the meat is thickest and most delicious is slightly later than that of female crabs, that is, at the end of September, 10. Taihu hairy crabs are generally listed in late September every year, and a small number of them are listed in late September. At this time, most of them are female crabs, because only the cream of female crabs is ok when they first came into the market, while the male crabs are naturally much worse at this time, and the meat in the crab feet is not good, so it is better to eat female crabs at first.
With the cold weather in autumn, the taste of hairy crabs in Taihu Lake is getting better and better. By the middle of 10, Taihu hairy crabs began to be listed in batches. At this time, Taihu hairy crabs are the best time, and a large number of male crabs are on the market. The best time to eat male crabs is at the beginning of 165438+ 10.
The third round pk: quality
The hairy crab market is chaotic, the quality is not guaranteed, and the swimming crab is quite reliable.
The reporter learned that in the past two years, many aquatic products merchants no longer intend to enter hairy crabs in the season when crabs are on the market. The main reason is that hairy crabs are very hot at present, and the behavior of citizens flocking to buy them has led to an increase in the price of hairy crabs. Due to the rising price, more and more fake hairy crabs appear in the market. The production of authentic Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs is limited, with an annual output of only over 3,000 tons. Where can so many Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs be sold? Therefore, according to the reporter's investigation report, the market chaos makes the quality of hairy crabs impossible to guarantee, and more and more citizens give up hairy crabs.
Compared with hairy crabs, the quality of Portunus Zhoushan on the market is much better. Portunus and hairy crabs are different. Portunus crab grows in seawater, with tender and sweet meat and rich nutrition. Portunus crabs came into the market earlier than hairy crabs, and the crab season ended later. Therefore, there is sufficient supply in the market to meet the needs of citizens to eat crabs. These are the reasons why citizens choose Zhoushan Portunas.

The fourth round pk: price
Bo Tunus crabs are close to the people, and the cost performance of hairy crabs is "defeated".
According to the market price in previous years, the price of three and a half female crabs is 168 yuan, and that of four and a half male crabs is 178 yuan. And authentic hairy crabs have never been sold by the weight, only by the weight!

In contrast, the price of swimming crab is much lower, and the price per kilogram is only about 20-80 yuan. According to the latest quotation, the price of female Portunus trituberculatus is 90- 100 yuan/kg, and that of male Portunus trituberculatus is 50 yuan/kg.
The fifth round pk: taste
Compared with hairy crabs, Portunus trituberculatus has heavier meat, and Portunus trituberculatus is absolutely cost-effective!
The thigh meat of hairy crabs is short and slender, and tastes like scallops; Leg meat, long and tender, as beautiful as whitebait; Crab meat, white and crystal clear, is better than white fish; Crab yellow is even more wonderful and incomparable. After exposure, crabs are seafood treasures and the first seafood.
Portunus crab, also known as white crab, is steamed and smells like crabs all over the house, so there is no need to add too much seasoning. The paste is hard and the meat is a little bit. Poke the crab's foot with chopsticks. This meat is the best. Even after washing your hands three times after dinner, your fingers still smell like crabs.

The sixth round pk: size
Hairy crabs are "three two, four two", and swimming crabs and crabs are eight two!
Hairy crabs are "three moist and four thin", which is the normal state when they are listed every year. Taihu Lake, an important producing area of hairy crabs, has reduced production by 70% this year. However, according to the feedback from Shenzhen market, the number of high-quality crabs with a ratio of more than four to two has decreased compared with previous years, and the mainstream hairy crabs are mostly three to two.

The seventh round pk: How to eat?
Hairy crabs are more delicious than swimming crabs.
The appearance of hairy crabs is much better than that of swimming crabs. You need to taste it slowly in ten steps with the help of "eight crabs".
The taste of swimming crab is like a typical unrestrained one, which can be solved by "clicking" three or two times, which is completely different from the way Shanghainese eat hairy crabs.
