Sanchahe Crabs

Sanchahe Crabs

　　Sanchahe Crabs are a specialty of Hanshan County, Ma'anshan City, Anhui Province. As early as the Qing Dynasty, the crabs from Sanchahe in Hanshan County were famous throughout the country for their large size, strong physique, rich and juicy meat, and distinctive flavor.

　　According to experienced connoisseurs: if you place a Sanchahe crab upside down on a glass plate, it can flip itself back over — a feat other crabs cannot achieve. The crabs typically weigh around 150 grams each, with tender meat, thick roe, and rich cream. They are delicious and highly nutritious. Tests show that every 100 grams of fresh crab meat contains 14 grams of protein — more than five times that of pork or fish. Their fat and carbohydrate content is four times and seventy times that of green shrimp, respectively. They are also high in Vitamin A and riboflavin, and contain various trace elements such as calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, and iron, offering medicinal benefits such as promoting growth and enhancing disease resistance.
