About this item
Hairy crabs from the Suzhou lakes, packed live and bound so they travel without damaging each other. The shell carries the fine fur that gives the species its name, and the underside is firm and clean when the crab is in condition. Steam them whole with ginger and perilla, then serve with a vinegar dip so the sweet flesh is not buried under salt. The roe is richest in autumn, when the shells turn heavy and the legs stiffen. Each crate holds 2 kg, roughly ten to twelve crabs.
Key Features
- Packed live and individually bound for transport
