Drunken crab is one of our specialty delicacies in Qidong.
Outsiders are often surprised by the preference of Qidong people for it, but Qidong people relish it!
I remember when I went to my uncle's house when I was a child, there were drunk crabs on every table.
You can have no meat or vegetables, but you must have drunk crabs.
Of course, my uncle wouldn't put so much seasoning, but it was just as delicious!
My uncle, who lives by the sea, has a very large "winding net". He often carries it to the sea and makes a "winding" to the shoal. There are lively small fish and shrimps in the net. Marinate it with a handful of salt. It is delicious for a few meals.
The Xiaomin Gully, which is scattered along the field in front of the house, is filled with fish, shrimps, and crabs-what a land of fish and rice!
