Jiangsu Province not only has hairy crabs in Suzhou Yangcheng Lake, but also hairy crabs from Nanjing Gucheng Lake, Changzhou Changdang Lake, Suqian Hongze Lake and Vicuña Lake, Xinghua Ecological Wetland and other places. They are as fat and fat as the hairy crabs of Yangcheng Lake, and they opened the lake before Yangcheng Lake, bringing the freshest delicacies of the season to the citizens of Shanghai. On September 16th, Jiangsu Provincial Supply and Marketing Cooperative, with the hairy crabs from major production areas in the province, and the Shanghai Municipal Supply and Marketing Cooperative jointly launched the "Jiangsu Famous and Excellent Agricultural Products into Shanghai", and the "first net hairy crabs" of this year, with green backs, white bellies, yellow hairs and golden claws, gathered together to accept the evaluation of Shanghai citizens.
"The hairy crab of Goseong Lake is really no different from the hairy crab of Yangcheng Lake. From the perspective of species, they are all Chinese river crabs, and the only difference is that the breeding waters are different. According to the person in charge of the Goseong Lake Qingsong Aquatic Products Professional Cooperative Association, Goseong Lake is one of the natural lakes with the best drinking water quality in Jiangsu Province, with clean and pollution-free water quality, which is very suitable for crab growth. The crabs of Goseong Lake are also very distinctive in feeding: they eat "three meats, three vegetarians and one soup". Among them, "three meats" include small fish, small shrimp, and snails; "three elements" are soybeans, corn, and aquatic weeds; "one soup" refers to the high-quality water source of Goseong Lake.
The taste of crabs raised in different waters varies slightly, but for most consumers, the differences are so small that it is difficult to distinguish, and the main criterion for judging good crabs is "whether it is fresh and fat". In this regard, hairy crabs with excellent water quality and proper feeding can meet the requirements. This is also an important reason for the concentrated appearance of Jiangsu's famous crab-producing areas in Shanghai: instead of touching fish in the muddy waters with "bath crabs" in the market, it is better to show their identities and start the names of different production areas.
Judging from the first batch of Jiangsu hairy crabs that appeared in Shanghai, in addition to Yangcheng Lake, which has not yet opened the lake, the rest of the production areas have opened the lake, of which the single male crab with larger specifications has reached 4 two, the female crab has reached 3 two, and the shell is full of hard paste, which can meet the needs of consumers in the Mid-Autumn Festival. The price is basically the same as last year, and the price of a pair of "4 male crabs + 3 female crabs" varies according to the production area, of which the cheapest is less than 100 yuan and the most expensive is about 150 yuan. At the same time, a single female crab of about 2.5 two is considered to be the most affordable hairy crab choice at present, and the cheapest one is less than 20 yuan each.
According to the Jiangsu Provincial Supply and Marketing Cooperative, Jiangsu has many lakes and dense water networks, which are characterized by standardized and large-scale breeding, forming a unique crab economy. This year, the Jiangsu Provincial Supply and Marketing Cooperative selected hairy crab products that can represent different local waters to supply the Shanghai market, hoping to let Shanghai citizens know that in addition to the hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake, Jiangsu has many good crabs.
In order to facilitate the purchase of Shanghai consumers, Jiangsu Provincial Supply and Marketing Cooperative and Shanghai Supply and Marketing Cooperative, offline through the "Shanghai Supply and Marketing e-home" outlets exhibition, online through the WeChat Mini Program "Supply and Marketing e-home" and "Fresh Fenghui" consumption to help promote the platform to accept orders, by the production area cooperative direct supply and delivery. According to the current logistics situation, Shanghai consumers can taste hairy crabs from Jiangsu's high-quality production areas the next day after placing an order.
