If youre a hairy crab connoisseur, youll know that November is the peak month to enjoy the autumnal delicacy.
This is the time when the crustacean, also known as the Chinese mitten crab, matures and migrates from its freshwater habitat to the ocean. But before it reaches its breeding grounds, laden with roe (more in female than male crabs), it is picked off the river or estuary or in most cases, a hairy crab farm.
These once-a-year gastronomic delights are certainly much anticipated by fans.
