The delicious crab mentioned by the author today belongs to the local specialty of Qingdao, because its abdomen and leg edge are slightly red, called red armor red or stone armor red. The red-headed breastplate is transversely ovoid, with a hard carapace, stout claws, aggressive sex, and prefers to inhabit low-tide line reef areas and seaweed dense areas. If you are caught by it, it is tragic. Around the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is the time of year when the fattest and most delicious red meat of the year, but due to the hard shell and small size, the price of stone shell red has always been cheaper than that of sea crabs. But it is much more expensive than farmed pike crabs. The picture shows the author's steamed shijia red yesterday
This kind of crab you can rarely see in the market, there is a Gujia Island fishing village in Huangdao Silver Beach, there is an old man who goes to the sea every day to go to the ground cage, the crabs caught are mainly stone armor red, and the daily output is not much and only twenty or thirty catties. The picture shows the old man inspecting the stone armor red harvested in the morning.
The old man toiled hard at sea every day, and the crabs he caught were sold by his wife on the small pier in the village.
The crabs sold by the fishermen in the village will not use leather bands to tie the crab's two large crab claws, so the crabs are placed in a large basin with seawater, and when picking crabs, do not directly take them by hand, there have been several customers in the morning.
Every day at about 12 o'clock, the aunt in the picture will set up a stall on the small pier and exchange the red crabs caught by her wife for money.
The old man will divide all the stone armor red into two kinds according to size, the large one is 25 yuan a pound, and the small one is 15 yuan a pound.
The most significant feature of Shijia red is that there are two particularly strong crab claws, which have a lot of meat and delicious taste, and the crab is particularly bright red and bright after cooking.
