Q: Anyone else find the "hairy crab" a little disappointing?
Seems to be a big source of pride and can get quite expensive, but I was let down honestly. Was decent, but barely anything to eat. They also love to scoop up the head part, which is kinda gross.
Did you get one full of eggs? They consider that the best part. I found them pretty good, but like you said, not too much meat. Give me a huge Alaskan King Crab any day.
I agree with John. There is not enough meat in them. I prefer snow crab legs. On the plus side for the hairy crab is that they live in lakes with tons of pollution so they pick up that extra special flavor.
Thank god you guys answered first.
I thought this was another 'brothel' thread! 
Xpat.John:
Well... The best meat does come from slurping on a pregnant female.
mArtiAn:
Yeh, I was thinking this was some kind of sex slang, like bearded clam or something. Hearing John describe them as being full of eggs nearly made me spit out my noodles.
Hugh.G.Rection:
Hehe, just think what the 'pro-life' lobby would make of the idea of 'sucking out the eggs'! 
I always find hairy crabs disappointing. I like mine hair-less.
What do they call those beautiful crabs in Hong Kong ? The blue and red ones with the spots! Those are sooo cool looking !
I think i won't have lunch today after reading this post
Exactly the same thought as Hugh
Im so glad this was answered before i read the thread
But never the less, the answer would have been exactly the same YES
