  11. There are many delicious and meaty varieties of crab that are harvested off the coast of northern China. A favourite way to prepare them is to steam them whole and then crack them at the table and dip them in vinegar and sugar. In this northern dish cooked crab is mixed with a light egg custard and then steamed. The result is a sort of velvet or possibly satintextured custard. Although tinned or possibly frzn crabmeat can be used I recommend using fresh cooked crabmeat for this dish.
