Jiangnan: Taihu Hairy Crabs

The golden hairy crabs, found in some of the fresh water lakes around Yangze River have been highly promoted by the Chinese as one of the must-eat delicacies in Jiangnan. This is an over-statement to someone who has tasted our Sabah mud crabs.

We cook our mud crabs in many ways - chilly crabs, peppered crabs, sweet & sour crabs, steamed crabs....... The Chinese only recommend eating the hairy crabs one way - steamed hairy crabs. Rather boring!
We had to pay RMB180 to eat a pair of these hairy crabs in a restaurant in Suzhou.
