It's that time of the year again to indulge in the creamy roe and sweet flesh of the hairy ten-legged beaut
While the period of October to November usually is the season for the hairy crab revelry, we might be experiencing a huge shortage this year! Among other reasons, the drop in the supply of the prized crustaceans can be attributed to a delayed cold season in China and more stringent import restrictions.
While supply may be lesser than usual, we're determined to get our hands dirty this hairy crab season, so here are three restaurants where it's business as usual for their hairy crabs offerings.
