每逢中秋節，富含蛋白質和氨基酸的大閘蟹大概是最受中國人歡迎的美食之一。中秋時節也是蟹子準備產卵的季節，這就意味著這時的蟹子最鮮美。一盤清蒸大閘蟹，配上生姜和香醋，往往成就中秋團圓宴上的點睛之筆。

During Mid-Autumn Festival, hairy crab -- rich in protein and amino acids -- is probably one of most sought-after delicacy among Chinese people. Crabs are ready to lay their eggs around the time of the festival, meaning they are at their tastiest right then. A plate of steamed hairy crabs dressed with ginger and vinegar always forms the highlight of the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion dinner.
