The meat of swimming crabs is tender and white, and is rich in protein, fat and various minerals. Portunus crabs are the strongest individuals during the winter wandering season, generally weighing about 250 grams, and the maximum can reach 500 grams. The female crab is covered with red cream and tastes excellent. Portunus crabs can be eaten fresh, steamed, fried, or stir-fried, or stewed in half with bean board sauce, or fried rice cakes with crabs, stir-fried pickles, or boiled tofu.

Wrap melons in meat paste and embed crucian carp

I believe many people have eaten and know how to make meat-embedded crucian carp, but the meat-embedded crucian carp in my hometown is different---<br />Just because he mixed "wrapped melons" into the meat filling. <br />What is wrapped melons? -- It is a melon marinated with sweet flour sauce. (A melon specially used to pickle pickled melons. It looks like a cucumber, but it is much bigger. It is not delicious when boiled, so it can only be pickled.) <br />In fact, not many people know about this practice. This practice is very ancient. In the past, only large families would do this. <br />Nowadays, many "farm dishes" in Qidong include carp embedded with meat, but there are no melons.
