#Food# |🦀 Mid-Autumn seafood season is here – and Longxue is the place to be!
Nansha's Longxue Subdistrict, where the Pearl River meets the sea, is famous for its prized "butter crabs" – only 1 in 1,000 mud crabs earns the name, thanks to their rich golden roe and silky oils. 🧈✨ Around Mid-Autumn, they hit peak perfection!
The Zheng Bingcai Butter Crab Farm also raises black tiger shrimp – some longer than a palm, with rich orange-red roe. 🦐
Prefer something affordable? Local mud crabs are also at their best – pick ones with firm bellies for maximum meat and roe. 💪
Planning a feast? Put Longxue on your list! 🌕
