Live Hong Kong Hairy Crab ~ produce rich, creamy roe that cannot be found on other types of crabs. The crab roe is often used in soup dumplings, or xiaolongbao, though many people just eat the crabs steamed and dipped in vinegar for the freshness taste.
The juicy crab meat is a great source of protein. The crab meat is believed by the Traditional Chinese Practitioners to have a “cooling” (yin) effect on the body after the hot summer.

At first I was skeptical. Could these local Hairy Crabs be better than the traditional ones from Shanghai? But they are AMAZING!! The crabs are bursting with the delicious crab roe and the meat is sweet and super fresh. Maybe they didn’t have to travel long to get to our plates? Maybe it’s because the water they grew in was controlled and clean? Whatever the reason, I’m thrilled. Can’t wait to go for another round!
