Among crabs, there are freshwater crabs and seawater crabs. Freshwater crabs have light smell and thick meat. Sea crabs are more salty. Cream and yellow are not as much as freshwater crabs, but they are also delicious. At present, the crabs we see in the market, especially in non-coastal areas, are mainly freshwater crabs.

Among the producing areas of freshwater crabs, eight places are famous. Eight kinds of crabs produced in these eight places are also well-known crabs after selection. Next, lazy meow will tell you one by one, what are these eight kinds of crabs? See if crabs in your hometown are on the list?

Speaking of the most famous crabs in China, I think Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs must be among them. Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, as a symbolic product of chinese national geography, are produced in Yangcheng Lake, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province. Because crabs don't stick to mud, they are also called clear water hairy crabs.

Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs have the characteristics of "green shell and white belly, golden claws and yellow hair" and are relatively large. Compared with other freshwater crabs, Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs have stronger vitality, thicker crab meat, sweet taste and extremely delicious. But now there are many fake Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs on the market. Remember to look for the anti-counterfeiting crab buckle they wear when you buy it.

Gucheng Lake Crab is produced in Gucheng Lake, Gaochun District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province. Its geographical environment, feeding methods and feeding methods are similar to those of Yangcheng Lake, so the crabs produced are naturally not bad. Yangcheng Lake and Gucheng Lake are both one of the most famous high-quality lakes for producing hairy crabs in Jiangsu.

Although the reputation is slightly lost to Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, the taste is not inferior.

There is a folk saying that the national river crabs look at Liaoning, Liaoning river crabs look at Panjin and Panjin river crabs look at Panshan. Panjin river crab is produced in Panjin City, Liaoning Province, located in Panshan County, Panjin City. It is also a famous river crab producing area in China, and is known as the "Crab Capital". Panjin, a place near Liaodong Bay of Bohai Sea, is rich in marine resources and fresh water resources in inland areas, which is very suitable for the growth of crabs.

Chongming Old Hairy Crab, produced in Chongming District, Shanghai, is also a landmark product of chinese national geography. Because two big claws are covered with fine hairs, Chongming, an old crab known as "old hairy crab", must mate and lay eggs in salt water, desalt in brackish water and then grow in fresh water. Chongming is just a place that can meet the requirements of its growing environment.

Chongming old hairy crabs are slightly smaller, with thin crab shells and white crab meat. It's not big, but it's full of crab meat. Male crab paste supports the stomach, while female crab roe supports the shell. The taste is delicate and full of fragrance. Chewing in your mouth, you can feel its unique sweetness.

This place is a national protected area and a typical coastal ancient lagoon wetland in China. The Qilihai river crab, which was rated as the symbol product of chinese national geography, was produced here.

The Chinese mitten-handed crab in Qilihai Lake has a square outline, a hard shell and a blue-gray back. The crab meat inside is white and tender, and it tastes fresh and sweet. As early as the Ming and Qing Dynasties, crabs in Qilihai were already the tribute of the emperor at that time. According to legend, Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, ate crabs from Qilihai every time he passed by Tianjin.

There is an old saying that "if you don't know mountains, rivers and seas, you are ashamed of your eyes, don't eat crabs, and you are ashamed of your stomach." The "Junshan Lake" mentioned in the first half of this sentence is located in Jinxian County, Jiangxi Province, and it is also the largest freshwater lake in the area. Junshan Lake has clean water quality, which is very suitable for the growth of crabs in both climate and ecological environment.

Junshan Lake hairy crabs are produced in Junshan Lake, which is a famous local specialty and a symbolic product of chinese national geography. In many domestic crab competitions, Junshanhu hairy crabs won many awards. Junshan Lake hairy crabs are big and fat, and they are also very famous hairy crabs.
