After October of the lunar calendar, the female crab began to harden. At this time, the male crab's gonad developed best, the yellow cream was white, and the crab cream was thick and round, so it was called "September navel and October tip". Now is the time when the male crab paste is fat. As the saying goes, "the shell is convex and the red fat is fragrant", the cream of male crab is not only more than that of female crab, but also sweeter and softer; A major feature of male crab paste is that it will not harden after cooking, and its taste is smooth and tender.
In addition, eating male crabs in winter is also very particular. First of all, you should take a bite of cream and apply it to the upper jaw, and gradually realize that in addition to the feeling of slippery taste, you can also feel the fresh fragrance of crab paste all over your mouth. Except for crab paste, the meat quality of male crab is different from that of female crab: the meat quality of female crab is firm, but the taste is slightly rough, while the meat quality of male crab is plump, delicate and more fresh and sweet. Male crabs and female crabs are also very different. The "pliers" of male crabs are generally larger, while the females are relatively smaller.
