Red clip crab

Red sea crab: commonly known as red clip, it has a hard shell, strong claws and aggressive nature, and likes to live in low-tide rocky areas and algae-dense areas. There is a local proverb that "the crab in August is covered with fat" and "eat sharp navel in spring and eat round in autumn". The former refers to August in the lunar calendar, which is the fattest time for crabs. The latter refers to the male crab in spring (with pointed umbilicus), which is big and tender and has the freshest taste; In autumn, the female crab (round navel) is full of fat and fat paste, which tastes the most fragrant. The most popular is cooking, which can be eaten with Jiang Mo and vinegar. In addition to boiling and steaming, there are many ways to eat crab with ginger sauce, fried crab, fried crab meat and so on. One day is appropriate. If you eat it again, you only need to steam it, and then add vinegar, minced garlic and Jiang Mo to taste it, which is more palatable. Since the opening of Dongdaihe tourism, Chinese and foreign tourists who eat sea crabs have formed a series of pedigrees: lampblack crab pieces, baked crab covers, Bohai whole crabs, steamed sea crabs and so on.
