| Hairy Crab 2011
Its the season again!!! 
Anyone got suggestions on different ways to cook these crabs?
I'm tired of the traditional steaming and I still got a lot more crabs left.

A lot of places just serve it raw with a soy-based dipping sauce. Try that if you're brave.

Hairy crabs don't have much meat. Work/Reward ratio is low lol. Most people just go after the claws and innards it seems.

mix it with tofu?  
I had my "yellow oil crabs" made steamed with egg and "fa diao" liquor last month at a restaurant. Not sure if that'll work with the hairy crabs.

The male hairy crabs have softer more intense roe while the females have the harder roe.
Unlike Alaskan king crabs, they make dishes like crab roe siu lung bao. Extremely yummy.

I had the roe xlb and it was good, but still prefer the traditional pork ones.
