The red crab is a visual family
The red-haired crab is visually beautiful and generous, its body is large red, its limbs are underdeveloped but swims quickly, especially its two forefoots, which are strong and powerful. The red crab prefers low temperatures, and generally 5 ° C is the temperature at which it feels comfortable.
Because of the different sea areas, the red hair crabs in each country have slight differences in quality and taste. There are red crabs in South Korea, Russia, Japan and North Korea, as well as deep-processed products that use red crabs as raw materials. The red crab tastes best after autumn, but in other seasons, the red hair crab is also better in meat quality and taste than other crabs produced in the same sea. The price of red crab is naturally high. Most of the red hair crabs imported into China come from North Korea and a small amount from Russia.
It is actually a hairy crab, why is it called a red haired crab
The red crab is literally translated as "hairy crab" in Korean, because its color is red, so many places in China call it "red crab". However, there are exceptions, in Jilin Province, especially in the Yanbian area, it is directly called "hairy crab". Perhaps because the southern region of China likes to call the river crab with hair on the legs "hairy crab", in order to distinguish between two different crabs, the hairy crab produced in the sea is called "red hair crab". In addition to crab sushi and sashimi, charcoal-grilled crab, crab tempura, crab porridge, crab hot pot, crab steamed rice are available, of which steamed and scallion ginger are the most fried red crabs. Although the red crab is well nourished, its flesh is cold, the content of cholesterol and purines is also high, and patients with gout are fasted, and patients with colds, hepatitis and cardiovascular diseases should not be consumed.
The difference between king crab, snow crab and red haired crab
King crabs and snow crabs have long legs, king crabs, red crabs have thorns on their bodies, look very fierce, red crabs and snow crabs are four pairs of feet, how to distinguish between them?
First of all, the legs of the king crab are much thicker than the snow crab, usually twice as thick as the snow crab; the spines on the legs of the king crab are larger and more prominent than the thorns of the snow crab; the king crab not only has thorns on the legs, but also has thorns on the body. Moreover, snow crabs are crabs, and king crabs are not crabs, so snow crabs have four pairs of feet in addition to claws, while king crabs only have three pairs of feet.
King crab
Snow crabs
King crabs and red crabs have thorns on their bodies, but they are also very different. The red crab is smaller than the king crab, the largest is only 2 kg, the small size is only about 250 grams, and the king crab is generally not less than 2 kg, the large one is 3 to 4 kg; the king crab legs are very developed, the legs are open, the longest is 1 meter, and the red crab legs are short, looking very underdeveloped, but the action is very fast; the king crab only has three pairs of feet, and the red hair crab is four pairs of feet, so it is easy to distinguish the king crab and the red hair crab from the legs.
Both red crabs and snow crabs belong to crabs, both with four pairs of feet, but the difference is also on the legs. Snow crabs have beautiful long legs, while red crabs don't; red crabs are full of thorns, while snow crabs have inconspicuous spines, so they are also easy to distinguish.
