Tasting and eating methods of Laizhou horseshoe crab

The horseshoe crab can be eaten fresh, steamed, fried, stir fried, or stewed in half with bean paste, or stir fried with rice cake, pickled vegetables, or tofu. It is a common dish on the dining tables of residents in coastal areas. It can also be pickled, which means soaking fresh Chinese mitten crabs in salt brine for a few days before consumption, commonly known as "fresh wind grabbing crabs". In the past, fishermen used to select live Chinese mitten crabs with paste due to their high yield, and then scoop the yellow into a bowl. After being exposed to wind and sun, it solidified and became "crab roe cake". The flavor is excellent, but the yield is small, and it is difficult for ordinary people to taste this flavor
