No link in the article to where the 99% figure can from though.
I live in Suzhou, which is where the lake is. Yep, I've seen the crabs, sold by fishermen around the lake itself. They are not covered in fur, they just have one part of their arm with a patch of hair. I'm vegetarian, I didn't eat those. My colleagues like those crabs, but because they are cheap and fresh from the lake, not because they something fancy. Looks like ordinary crabs to me...
[PS] You don't say "very delicious", you say "delicious", because "very delicious" makes no sense, like "very faster" or "very tallest" is non-sense.
joshua73:
Very delicious isn't incorrect though, it's not really like 'very tallest', more like 'very perfect' which sounds odd but isn't incorrect.
I have had them, they are gross. They have no meat at all. People buy them to eat the yellow brain? row? something in their heads.
I had a bunch of friends come over and cook them at my house once. Once I saw them, I slipped out to get some KFC take-away.
Caught it from my ex... was really itchy, so I just shaved my Southbeard.
I have had them before. My boss bought everyone loads of them. I thought they were not very delicious. I just ate some chicken instead.
