2. When are the best sea crabs and how to choose them?

First of all, you must eat hairy crabs alive. Dead ones are poisonous. Remember this. Also, you should not drink beer when eating crabs. It is bad for your health. It is best to drink white wine or red wine. You should not eat persimmons when eating crabs.

Now to answer your question formally, the "green shell, white belly, golden claws and yellow hair" mentioned above are the unique physical characteristics of high-quality Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs. Not all hairy crabs have them. Generally, hairy crabs are good as long as they have a symmetrical body, healthy limbs and uniform body color. But crabs that crawl fast and have strength are generally in good shape, and crabs with good bodies generally taste good. Based on the physique, we will pick the best ones. According to the season, August and September of the lunar calendar are the time to eat female crabs (the navel is round, the big claws are small, and the claws have less velvet), and October of the lunar calendar is the time to eat male crabs (the navel is a long isosceles triangle, the big claws are thick, and the claws are dense). This is related to the physiological characteristics of crabs. Female crabs begin to enter the breeding preparation period in August and September of the lunar calendar, and male crabs begin to enter the breeding preparation period in October of the lunar calendar. During these two periods, the endocrine of crabs increases, so the crab paste is thick. Female crabs are yellow (orange-red after cooking), and male crabs are paste (white gelatin-like and translucent after cooking). Now let's talk about how to choose crabs. In fact, it is very simple to choose crabs. Pinch the smallest joint of the crab's foot with your hand. The harder the better. If it is soft, it means the crab has just changed its shell and is not thick enough. There is usually not much meat and yellow paste after cooking.

3. When is the best time to eat crabs?

Sea crabs are the fattest and tastiest around the 15th day of the eighth lunar month.

4. When does the swimming crab have yellow

The best time to eat swimming crabs is from August to November every year. This period is mainly the feeding and fattening period, and the body width can reach 100-130 mm.

The meat of swimming crab is tender and white, rich in protein, fat and various minerals. Swimming crabs are the strongest in the winter season, generally weighing about 250 grams, and the largest can reach 500 grams. The female crab is covered with red roe and tastes excellent. Swimming crabs can be eaten fresh, steamed, fried, or stir-fried, or cut in half and stewed with bean paste, or fried with crabs, stir-fried with rice cakes, pickles, and boiled tofu. It is a common dish on the tables of residents in coastal areas. It can also be pickled, that is, fresh swimming crabs are soaked in brine and can be eaten after a few days. It is commonly known as "fresh wind grabbing crabs". In the past, fishermen often selected live crabs with full roe because of the high yield of swimming crabs, picked the roe into a bowl, and solidified it in the wind and sun, which became "crab roe cakes". The flavor is particularly good, but the yield is small, and it is difficult for ordinary people to taste it.

Several characteristics of good swimming crabs:

1. A good swimming crab has a green and hard back and a plump and thick abdomen. You can also carefully observe the crab legs. The legs are hard and difficult to pinch, and the fattest ones are the ones that are hard and difficult to pinch.

2. Look at the belly button. The belly button of a good swimming crab is usually light red. The more red it is and the firmer the belly button is, the fatter the crab is.

3. Look at the crab shell. You can tell the fullness of the crab roe by looking at the crab shell. Check if there is yellow-red stuff on the tips of both sides of the shell. The more yellow-red stuff there is, the more crab roe there is. This can only be used to identify female crabs.
