These are Chinese mitten crabs. Shanghai is known for these hairy little monsters. In Shanghai they can range from 200 to 300 RMB each. The best part of the crab is the female crab roe. The more roe it has, the more expensive the crab will be. If you are in Shanghai, make sure you order one of these. Just tell the waiter you want “Da Zha Xie”.

Some people have turtle as pets, but others have turtles as their dinner! The snapping turtle is commonly used in chinese dishes. The most common turtle dish in China is Turtle Soup (aka Snapper Soup). This is a picture of turtle slow cooked in rich flavored rice. I got this dish at a wedding banquet in Shanghai.
