In order to illustrate the problem, let's take a side example. We always think that the sharp bud leaves of tea trees are good tea, but when we go to the tea-producing areas to ask tea farmers what they drink, the answer is tea stalks, because coarse tea can quench our thirst and young leaves can fetch a good price. The same is true for the cooking of hairy crabs. In the past, Shanghainese didn't start eating crabs until the autumn wind started and the crabs' feet itched. At this time, crabs had grown up. Shanghai described useless people as "soft-footed crabs", which meant that crabs with hard shells were worthless goods. As we all know, an old crab is an old guy, and its fishy smell is heavy. Therefore, authentic Shanghainese are boiled crabs, and the water is bigger, which has covered the crabs. Boiling them is also called "brake-brake" in Shanghai dialect, which is also one of the sources of the name of hairy crabs. In the crab producing area, there are often some soft-footed crabs that fail to meet the listing standards, and unfortunately need to be rescued in the intensive care unit. These crabs will be unable to open their feet, so they are called "leg-supporting crabs". Due to limited medical conditions, they can only be "imported". The crabs that were originally watered are boiled in water, which is too watery, so they can only be steamed and eaten. There are still a lot of such crabs, and finally they become a habit. It's a good practice for the young chicken to steam and the old hen to cook. The key is the object.
Next, let's talk about how to eat hairy crabs. On the premise of eating them while they are hot, there is still a little disagreement among crab divers. One view is that crab feet are easy to get cold, so eat crab feet first and then eat crab bellies. The other view is to eat crab bellies first and then eat feet. This is the same as eating grapes. Choosing the good grapes first or eating the bad grapes first depends on one's personality. I choose a good eating character first, and I can teach you the experience of eating more and taking more. I don't eat any crab feet at the dinner table. I eat the crab belly first, and ask someone to take out the meat or take it home. I will have a crab powder to burn tofu, and add some shallots before serving. It is delicious in color and taste. In fact, the crab roe is fishy when it is cold, and it will give full play to the fishy smell after it is re-burned. Therefore, the whole crab tofu is not as delicious as the crab foot tofu, but it is very enjoyable when it is fresh. This method can be eaten as much as it is hot.
Eating crabs was originally a hobby of people in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, but now it is all over the country.
When friends come to Shanghai, what they expect most is to eat crabs. This was unimaginable in the past, especially for friends in the north, who thought that eating that stuff was "annoying" in one word, and it was not as good as eating big fish and meat. It was more dignified and convenient to eat shark's fin or abalone. What was depressing then was why the best beauty was unpopular, but now it is the opposite. This phenomenon can only be explained by the fact that everything out of season can be produced under the drive of real money and silver, because our science and technology are powerful, and at present, only hairy crabs can not be produced all year round, but everyone knows in their hearts that it is coming soon, so hurry up. Although Yangcheng Lake is full of "bathing crabs", good or bad is also a scarce "time-limited" food, before scientists can popularize science. I guess, scientists in the field of food in China probably have the same status as trade unions in the United States, and the name of people's livelihood is actually the interests of small groups. It seems that the eyes of the whole country are discerning, so let's take the time to eat hairy crabs and leave the rest alone.
It's better for science and technology to stay away from food. The purpose of human life is not science and technology, but at least delicious food.

Tie the crab's claw feet with a rope before steaming to prevent the claw feet from falling off and the crab oil from flowing out during steaming. Tip: If you wrap the whole crab with straw, you can keep it fresh and fragrant. Put a proper amount of water in the bottom of the pot and steam it in a steamer15-20 minutes.

Generally, 20 minutes is more than half a catty, and 15 minutes is less than six ounces.

Dip: use a bowl and a half of vinegar, three bowls and a half of soy sauce, six spoonfuls of sugar and ginger to chop and stew for 20 minutes.
Health effects of Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs: Hairy crabs are rich in nutrients, such as protein, amino acids, calcium, iron, selenium, zinc, potassium, vitamins A and B, which help to promote the repair and synthesis of human tissues and cells and improve immune function.

Whenever steamed hairy crabs are served on the table, they are orange in color and delicious in meat. Open the crab cover, paste the yellow fat and sweet fat, dip in some carefully prepared ginger vinegar, and match it with aged carved yellow wine. Taste it carefully and chew it slowly. "Crab meat is tasteless on the table" is really a great enjoyment of life.
I also collected this knowledge from the website of Chang's crab industry. If you are interested, you can pay attention to it and hope to adopt it.

Question 9: Should steamed or boiled crabs be cooked in hot water or cold water? It seems that you are really the first person to eat crabs! The best way to eat crabs is steaming, not boiling. When cooking crabs, be sure to put cold water in the pot, so that the crab legs are not easy to fall off. Edible crabs must be steamed and cooked thoroughly. Because crabs grow in mud, they often carry some toxins in their bodies. In order to prevent these pathogenic microorganisms from invading the human body, they must be steamed and cooked thoroughly when eating crabs. According to the size of the crab, it is advisable to boil the water for 8- 10 minutes, and the meat is ripe but not too rotten. At this time, the crab meat is the most tender and delicious. The time is short and the steaming is not ripe. After a long time, the crab meat is not delicious when it is old. Note: The crab's brain and lungs are not edible. Whether to use hot water or cold water when cooking crabs mainly depends on whether the crab feet are tied. Those who tie their feet don't care, but those who don't have to use cold water. If the crab feet are tied with rope, they can be steamed with hot water; If steamed with hot water, the crab is not dead, but its feet fall off first.
