every year at the west wind rises

See media reports, October 21 Japan to huangpu river (songjiang PuNa) open, is expected to capture the hairy crabs in total 50 tons or so. This reminds me of the past to eat the huangpu river wild crab experience.


In the early 1950s, when I was just entered state enterprise worker, Shanghai homeless and living in the unit, sometimes working at night or a meeting to 9-10 o 'clock, he went to the street stall eat supper snacks. In the late autumn crabs flood season, eat crab booth many, the AD is big, born, ripe crab are sold, presently sold, now burn, now eat, I will eat two crab as supper snacks. Oneself pick good two live crab, vendors for me on the spot in briquettes furnace burning good, also gave ginger, dip in with vinegar. Also people eat crab wine in stalls.


Once eat crab when I asked vendors, you this crab from where to sell. He said: "the longhua, port side shipped, this is all local huangpu river crab, information are of excellent crab." I saw some stalls marked taihu crab or yangcheng crab, then ask the stall: "the huangpu river crab crab crab, yangcheng lake than good?" The stall say: "small does edy, this you don't understand, in the spring and summer season, taihu lake, yangcheng of huangpu river crab crab does not poor; but in the west wind up the crab crab, this sin season huangpu river quality than taihu crab, yangcheng crab." I ask: "why?" The stall, said: "this crab crab is going to flood reason, the south of the changjiang river estuary nm to births reproduce, the huangpu river's lake and dianshan lake water of crab crawled into the sea to the most thoroughfare, , the crab is like an army as from the huangpu river climbed, through many river. Duan, nets GongZu capture roadculture, can climb to huangpu river crab is strong, information, which causes one of crab crab. Two is it from the lake, river water climb to the huangpu river, has climbed by ten days, has the body than aftercare set more robust, fat, therefore, the huangpu river catch crabs, far more than taihu lake, yangcheng etc inland caught crab quality is much better." So that's it.
