"Look, pinch, pinch, peel", so as to pick a good hairy crab
As the saying goes, nine females and ten males. "Female crabs can gradually enter the migratory season until October of the Gregorian calendar and male crabs to November of the Gregorian calendar, that is, their gonads are close to maturity, when crabs are the most delicious." Xing Yufeng, owner of Gaochun Gucheng Lake Crab City Xingji Aquatic Products Bank, told reporters that the hairy crabs in the store are mainly female crabs. How do citizens pick out big, fat hairy crabs? "Blue back, white belly, golden retriever, red mouth" is the local word of mouth to pick crabs. "You can pick crabs by 'looking, sweeping, pinching, and peeling', a good hairy crab has a blue mud back nail, a white abdomen cannot have ink spots, crab legs must have golden hairs, and crab claws are golden." Pick up and weigh by hand, the appearance of hairy crabs that look similar in size, and the crabs with weight and heavy feel indicate that the meat inside is full. Then pinch the crab leg with your index finger and thumb, and the leg is hard to indicate that the meat is tight. Peel off the umbilical cap of the crab, such as crab paste bright, the crab navel will be red on both sides, indicating that there is more yellow. Xing Yufeng told reporters.
In addition, if the purchased hairy crab cannot be eaten immediately, do not rinse with rapid water before preservation. Hairy crabs should be bundled and put in the refrigerator refrigerator, covered with a wrung-out wet towel, which can be stored for 3-5 days, and the vitality of the crab can be detected by touching the crab eye before eating.
