Crab is a delicacy in China. Especially famous is Yangcheng Lake near Shanghai (an 18 minute train ride outside the city), where the lake crabs are in season every fall. Last weekend Jerri, Kien, our classmate Jane (Xu Man), and I all went to the lake to have lunch. As we found out, the delicacy is not the legs as in America, but the yellow ‘guts’ under the shell. I’ll try anything once, but that’s probably it for this one (as with chicken feet, stinky tofu, beef intestine, and pig ears and snout). I admit that the crab was tasty, but my mind couldn’t get over the ‘guts’ part. I’ll stick to the legs. But even not from the small, hairy, lake crabs I China. Seattle seafood here I come!
