Steamed hairy crab

Overview

As the saying goes, when the autumn wind blows, crabs get fatter. The navel of the ninth month and the tip of the tenth month all refer to the time to eat crabs: female crabs are eaten in the ninth month of the lunar calendar, and males are eaten in October. So now is a good time to eat female crabs

  17. Split the crab body from the middle and you will see a flat piece which is the crab heart. This cannot be eaten either. There is also something like a plastic bag on the crab lid. This is the crab stomach and cannot be eaten.
