The Elegance of Shanghai Crab

Shanghai crab (scientifically known as Eriocheir sinensis) is a small freshwater crab, known for its sweet meat and exquisite, rich crab miso. Originating primarily from Yangcheng Lake near Suzhou, the quality of these crabs is unparalleled due to their naturally rich ecosystems. Recognized as a high-end brand of crabs, they have been celebrated for over a century, holding a special position in the culinary world.

As summer transitions into autumn, these crabs become less active due to the cooling temperatures, allowing them to store up flavors and textures. When autumn arrives, you'll see vibrant red banners marking the season, signaling that it's the ideal time to enjoy the delicacy of Shanghai crab dishes.
