Usually, it is a noodle shop, and crayfish are launched from May every year. I heard that the chef is quite famous. The most striking thing is the crayfish dishes on the menu, including more than 21 kinds of lobster with salt and pepper, lobster rice cake, salt crayfish, sweet and sour lobster, curry lobster and fish-flavored lobster, which can be described as an upgraded version of crayfish. Because it is usually a noodle restaurant, the environment is good, and the two words on the wall "The noodles are fragrant and the soup is beautiful to welcome guests early, and the table is clean and the cup is clean and pleasant" is very beautiful.

I think this is one of the few delicious crayfish in Shanghai. Mainly because the recipe of the brine lobster here is developed by the proprietress herself, which is more suitable for the tastes of Shanghainese, and the ingredients used by the proprietress are authentic licensed products, so the marinade is naturally rich in flavor, and the marinated lobster is even more speechless.

what we recommend is the dry stir-fried lobster here, which is spicy and delicious. Besides, the lobster is not fried very dry, and it has more juice in your mouth, which makes people memorable.

Happy Kitchen

Just listening to the name of the store, you won't associate it with the lobster restaurant. Indeed, this store usually cooks local dishes, but from May to May, crayfish is the signature. I have been a crayfish for several years, and I am famous. I am on the edge of the university and next to changfeng park, and I am very popular.

Shouning Road is not long, but it has a long history. This old road has witnessed the situation of Shanghai for more than 61 years. However, in recent years, the reputation of Shouning Road has risen sharply, but it has an indissoluble bond with crayfish.

The road is adjacent to Liulin Road in the west, Zhonghua Road in the east, and South Tibet Road in the cross, with a total length of only 211-311 meters. In the past, restaurants here mainly engaged in box lunch stalls, but later, because of the overnight popularity of crayfish, it became a famous "lobster street" in nearby Fiona Fang.

Lobster shops on Shouning Road all hang the brand of "Xiangba Island", and there are a dozen crayfish shops crowded on both sides of a small road. It is said that crayfish of any flavor can be bought there. Shouning Road seems to be a veritable gathering place for "spicy crayfish". Small shops are laid next to each other, and they are all called "Xiangba Island" and "Xiangba Island" with different sounds and characters. Just looking at it will make you feel in full swing.

Every summer night in the crayfish season, the whole street is full of people who eat crayfish. If you don't go early, you can't find a seat at all. This feeling is very similar to the alley life when you were a child. Everyone sat in rows on the street, rolling up their sleeves. Sven's reserve was no longer exquisite, and his hands were torn and scratched. He ate until his mouth was full of oil, his face was red and his mouth was dry, and he sweated, but he still refused to stop. The table was littered with shrimp shell debris, and beer bottles were littered, still not enough. The shouts of "Boss, two pounds more" came one after another.

Shouning Road at that time was undoubtedly a snack resort in the eyes of diners, and the word "Xiangba Island" was no less famous than "Oriental Pearl". However, because this is an old road, and stalls are flooded all the year round, people are rushing around every day, and the health problem is inevitably worrying. Therefore, after Shouning Road became famous, it became a sanitary street in Shanghai that needed to be rectified.

Later, with the reconstruction of Shouning Road, the previously chaotic lobster stalls gradually disappeared. With the rise of other professional crayfish restaurants in Shanghai, the lobster street, which used to be prosperous, began to become depressed. Now, when you go to Shouning Road, you can find some outdated "Xiangba Island" shops, but you can't see the unprecedented occasion when thousands of people sat on the street to eat crayfish.

Shanghainese have a deep affection for Xiangba Island. Besides Shouning Road, there is another Xiangba Island Lobster which has branches in Yuping South Road, Fuzhou Road and Wujin Road. However, this one is not the other one, and it has little connection with lobster street. It is just registered as Xiangba Island, which is very popular because it is called Xiangba Island.

Crayfish in my impression is always a snack in street restaurants, and it is rare to see it squeeze into mainstream dining and leisure places.

"Xianglibaba" didn't use this name at first. Like many crayfish restaurants, it used the name "Grab the crayfish". Later, it became famous and changed its name for fear of being confused with other restaurants, but it always made people feel like "Xiangba Island".

it is said that when the "hand-grabbed crayfish" restaurant was first opened, diners came from all directions after 5 pm every day, and in a short time, the upper and lower floors of the restaurant were packed. The long queue of customers outside the door almost blocked the sidewalk, and those who came late had to queue up at the door to get the number.

At that time, the layout of the store was very simple. There were four chairs at the rectangular table, and the area was not large, but the business was particularly prosperous. The menu is posted on the wall. There are many kinds of lobster, crayfish, extra-large lobster and lobster rice cakes, which can also be divided into three types according to the taste of guests: slightly spicy, medium spicy and heavy spicy. Since it is called grasping crayfish by hand, as the name implies, it is not eaten with chopsticks but with hands. Looking around, the guests were wearing gloves while peeling shrimp, while holding a plastic shell-throwing tube, eating delicious. The signature dish "Spicy Lobster" in the store is cooked, and the shrimp shell is covered with a thin layer of spicy oil. Generally, the old diners order heavy spicy food and put it in their mouths to make the spicy food go straight to their throats.

The store of Xiangli Baba was opened by accident. According to the boss, Miss Chen, "I was able to win the berth of Gongcheng Road. I went to this restaurant for dinner once, so I casually asked the boss at that time how much the transfer fee was. The boss said that the price was 1.2 million yuan, and I paid the money the next day." He also said: "In fact, I first went to Shouning Road' Lobster Street' to find a storefront, but it was all occupied and there was no vacancy. I think, comparatively speaking, the crayfish shop in Hongji Leisure Plaza is several grades higher than that in Shouning Road. When I chose the second' hand-caught crayfish' on Hongqiao Road, I chose Hongqiao Road, and I was busy all day. The second store only opened for one and a half months, and the business exceeded the first one. "

The take-away business in the store is also very good, as long as it is all over 51 yuan within 15 minutes, it can be delivered to your door. The deliveryman said that the demand of the guests is relatively large. Once a customer shouted crayfish of nearly 1,111 yuan in one breath.

Because the business is really good, Hongqiao Store "Grab the Crayfish" has added a dozen tables in the open air along the street. Even so, there will still be many guests standing by waiting for the table, just to taste the delicious "Xianglibaba Crayfish".

Shanghainese turn over a flower head every year when they eat: spicy crabs were popular a few years ago, followed by new concept Sichuan cuisine, but now, if you haven't eaten 13 sweet lobster, you are definitely out of date.

Shops with signs of "Xuyi Thirteen Fragrances" can often be seen in the streets. In fact, only about 11% of the nearly 1,111 shops with "Xuyi 13 sweet lobster" are authentic lobster franchisees.

"Xuyi 13 sweet lobster" franchise store has a clear definition, which must meet at least three conditions: it must choose Xuyi lobster, use Xuyi ingredients and receive Xuyi technical training. The pronunciation of the word xuyi is a little learned. It is pronounced as "Xuyi" instead of "Yutai". Xuyi is close to Hongze Lake. The lobster produced here is pollution-free and delicious. It is a famous "hometown of lobster" in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and a famous lobster festival is held here every year. In addition, Xuyi is also rich in Chinese herbal medicines, and the "Thirteen Fragrances" for roasting lobster is made of 13-31 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines from Xuyi real estate, which is not only spicy and delicious, but also has a certain therapeutic effect.

Fuji Kitchen is the first member store of lobster association in Shanghai. Its boss is the vice president of Xuyi Lobster Association, and its chef is from Xuyi. Xuyi lobster has become a household name in Shanghai beach because of its original thirteen flavors. People who come to taste Xuyi lobster every day can be discharged outside the store, and even relatives and friends come together. Everyone is sweating and numb, but they are still satisfied. According to the manager, hundreds of pounds of lobster can be sold here every day.

A pot full of crayfish was brought up, without exaggeration, and it felt a hot aroma from a distance. It was a special aroma mixed with faint sweetness and herbal fragrance. It was said that thirteen spices were only a part of the dense seasoning, and more than 11 kinds of spices such as star anise, pepper, cardamom and angelica dahurica were added. As for why it is called thirteen incense, some people joke that it is because Fuji has thirteen strokes. Can you believe it? It is not impossible to think that Fuji has such a profound "Xuyi crayfish heritage". Fuji Kitchen No.868 Baoshan Road, Hongkou District (near Hengbang Road)

Some people compare Fuxing Road to the Champs Elysé es in Paris, and Fumao crayfish is located at the intersection of Fuxing Maoming. Although the storefront decoration is not gorgeous, its reputation has already spread abroad.

The owner of this crayfish shop, surnamed Yan, is a talkative and funny person. He is even more eloquent when talking about lobsters. IT is hard to imagine that he was born in the IT industry in the past.

at the beginning of the store's opening, it was called "catching crayfish by hand". Later, the business was booming, and the reputation gradually rose. The owner naturally understood the importance of protecting copyright. From then on, he got his own name-Fumao, which has been in use ever since, and now there are five branches in the city.

Every store has its own business, and Fumao crayfish is no exception. Besides the top secret "the recipe of marinated crayfish", the boss likes to sum up his success in three points. The first is the source of goods. All the wild crayfish in Fumaodian come from Hongze Lake area with clear water quality. After layer-by-layer screening, they are now washed and burned, ensuring freshness and purity to the greatest extent. Secondly, the taste, lobster cooking has a set of scientific models, and the boss proudly said that he learned from KFC's successful experience, that is, the raw materials and production process were standardized, which kept the crayfish produced in each store uniform in taste. The third is management. The chefs in the store have to take an exam every week, which is divided into written examination and dish evaluation, and innovative recipes will be introduced regularly.

brine crayfish

There are more than 21 kinds of lobster dishes in the store, and the most famous one is brine crayfish. In order to ensure the taste, the brine is basically replaced after 5 hours. The degree of spicy can be chosen according to your own habits and preferences, but don't overestimate your bottom line of spicy.

There is a small plastic basin in front of everyone, which is used to spit out shells, and two gloves. Originally, I thought there would be something special about dipping, in fact, it was vinegar, sugar and ginger, and the key taste was the crayfish itself. Crayfish either don't eat it, and it's hard to stop eating it. The hotter it is, the more enjoyable it is, and the more exciting it is. You don't need to pay attention to the image when eating crayfish. Everything depends on your hands. The proficiency is directly proportional to the number of times you eat. Your hands should be coordinated. After eating, you feel that your lips have been blown by explosives. At this time, drinking some cold beer will feel more comfortable.

Fumao Crayfish (Fuxing Store)

Most people go to Fumao Crayfish, and after one or two visits, they become frequent visitors. Every night, the guests here are full, and the attractive smell of crayfish permeates the night. Unfortunately, they can't get a seat, so many people choose to buy it out and go home to taste it. After spending all, Fumao in 51 yuan will also provide delivery (within 31 minutes).

The greatest pleasure of eating crayfish is freedom, regardless of status and posture. Everyone just wants to eat hot and spicy food. I'm afraid this is also the success of Fumao in attracting the public.
