June yellow is the last molting of hairy crabs before they enter maturity
For friends who love crabs, they don't have to wait until the "autumn wind makes crab feet itch" to taste the deliciousness of crabs. Recently, the "June Yellow" of Suzhou Xiangcheng Yangcheng Lake Resort has begun to be listed one after another, and the citizens who want to taste it can take action.
Generally, hairy crabs only usher in its fullness period in the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the deliciousness of "June Yellow" cannot be underestimated. June yellow is the last molting of hairy crabs before entering the mature stage, and it is also the intermediate stage of hairy crabs from "green astringency" to "maturity". The "yellow" in June's yellow is a must in the world. Because it is not yet mature, the gonads (what people call crab paste) are not fully developed, only full of crab yellow, with a full belly flowing yellow brilliance.
Compared with the hairy crabs listed in autumn, the "June Yellow" meat at this time is tender and rich in juice. If the teeth are slightly better, they can even be bitten down together with the shell and the meat inside, and the unique fresh taste is addictive.
"This year's hairy crab growth is even better than last year, this year's temperature is suitable, coupled with scientific feeding while replanting aquatic weeds, the water quality is better, providing a more suitable ecological environment for the growth of shrimp and crabs." Gu Min, a young crab farmer in Yangcheng Lake, said he caught a large "June Yellow" in his pond last week, weighing about 3 taels.
At present, the hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake are in the critical period of the third molting, Gu Min introduced: "The third molting will determine the survival rate and size of the hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake, after this molting, one or two crabs can grow into two or two." ”
It is reported that at present, the overall supply of "June Yellow" is not large, and the delicious taste of that bite is even more "rare". In the resort area of Tsui Lane Bang Qingshui Village Fisherman's Delight Street, in order to taste the first bite, some diners deliberately came from Shanghai to taste the fresh.
The reporter learned from the eighteen stoves in the village of The Lake House and the town of fish and rice in Yangcheng Lake that the weight of the Yangcheng Lake "June Yellow" currently listed is about 1 and a half to 2 two, and the price is about 38 yuan. Different from the common steaming method of mature crabs, the first fresh in this summer should be set off with various ingredients, "June Yellow" can be made into edamame noodles to drag crabs, three fresh gnocchi soup, etc., which is a delicacy on the table in early summer that many "foodies" love.
