Overview

As the saying goes, you will be busy when you are busy, so don’t forget June Yellow. The so-called June Yellow is when hairy crabs are young. Hairy crabs will shed their shells more than 10 times in their lives. Each molt represents each period of growth. June Yellow is the last molt before hairy crabs enter the mature stage, and it is also the intermediate stage between teenagers and young adults. When the crabs shed their shells and grow in July and August, they will mature into strong hairy crabs. This kind of baby crab will mature in June and July of the lunar calendar. Although it is small in size, it is yellow and plump and the meat is fresh and tender.
