The difference between crab roe and crab paste is very big. First of all, their ingredients are different. The crab roe is the ovary and gland of the crab, with a small amount of crab eggs. The crab paste is the seminal vesicle of the crab, so the sources of the two are also different.Crab eggs mainly come from female crabs, while crab paste comes from male crabs.Secondly, their taste is also different, the former has a granular taste, while the latter is more delicate.
1. Crab meat: Crab meat is mainly in the crab claws and crab legs, but not in the crab shell.No matter what season the crab, there will be crab meat, the bigger the crab, the more crab meat.It is worth mentioning that the crab meat will be separated from the crab shell after cooling, and can be easily poked out or sucked out.
2. Crab roe: Crab roe is only found in female crabs. This is its ovary and digestive gland. Although the main components are the same as crab eggs, they are not crab eggs.Its color is orange, rich in protein, phospholipids and other nutrients.Because the gonads of female crabs mature in autumn, it is also the most suitable season for eating crab eggs.
3. Crab paste: Although there is no crab roe in the male crab, there is crab paste.Crab paste is its seminal vesicle, which also contains semen, which is white in color and looks a little sticky.Like the time when female crabs mature, the crab paste of male crabs is also in autumn, and October of the lunar calendar is the most plump time for crab paste.
