About Hairy crab

Hairy Crab, also known as Chinese mitten crab, is a highly prized delicacy originating from Eastern Asia, particularly celebrated in Chinese cuisine. Known for its soft, succulent meat and rich, creamy roe, this seasonal crustacean is harvested during autumn months when its flavor peaks. Hairy Crab is a nutrient-rich seafood, providing essential proteins, vitamins like B12, and omega-3 fatty acids that support heart health and brain function. While its roe is dense in cholesterol, moderation allows for a balanced intake. It is low in calories but high in minerals like zinc and selenium, aiding immunity and metabolism. Typically steamed or paired with vinegar-based dipping sauces, Hairy Crab showcases a unique balance of sweet and savory flavors. For those mindful of dietary concerns, avoiding excessive consumption of the roe is advised, but overall, Hairy Crab is a nutritious and indulgent seasonal treat.
