Hairy Crab!

It get cold in Shanghai!  When it get cold in Shanghai, everyone know what it means!

Hairy Crab!

True hairy crab come from yangcheng lake in Jiangsu province! But Fat Yu must be careful!  Many crooks fake hairy crab!  Come from other place but say come from Yangcheng lake!  Aiya!

Fat Yu no trust restaurant, so buy my own!  Fat Yu's friend Annie know where to get real Yangcheng lake hairy crab!


If you look close, you can see hairy mittens!  Many hairs on their claws!  Look like mud, la!

Even though Fat Yu no trust restaurant to buy hairy crab, Fat Yu no know how to cook them!  So he ask restaurant to cook them!



Many many crabs!  Very beautiful!  Enough crabs for each person to have two!

But how to choose which one?!  Fat Yu knows bigger not always better!  And, have to pick between male and female crabs!  Eh?!  How to tell?

Male crab have "V" segment on bottom of body, like this!  (Female more round!)


Many people say that female crabs are sweeter, but Fat Yu knows that only true at end of crab season!  In beginning of crab season, males much sweeter!  But is middle of crab season, so Fat Yu has one male and one female!

Just as important as real Yangcheng lake hairy crab is real Shaoxing wine!  Fat Yu's friend bring own bottle of 30 year old Shaoxing wine!  Is very good!


Eating crab can be difficult!  But not for Fat Yu!  Because I am real Shanghai person!


I Am Fat Yu!
