Taihu Qingshui crab

It is "Eriocheir sinensis". One of the famous freshwater crab species in China. It is fascinating because of its tender and fat meat and full and fragrant crab roe. Late autumn is the season for big crabs to come on the market every year, and there is a popular saying that "the navel (female) is in September and the tip (male) is in October". In addition to cooking, there are other ways to eat crabs in Wuxi, such as drunken crabs, noodles dragging crabs, fried crab oil, stewed eggs with crab meat, and snacks such as steamed buns with crab powder.
