The Top Fishing

Yue’er was smarter—she picked up the scissors and snapped them at the joint, finally twisting off the plump crab leg.

Prying off the crab leg wasn’t enough to easily pull out the meat; looking along the fracture, wow, it was all stuffed with meat, nothing like the dry crab legs back home with only half as much flesh inside.

By then, Yue’er had already used the scissors to snip the crab leg right down the center, exposing the rich, overflowing crab meat inside.

"Wow, check out this crab leg meat, it’s so plump! Sorry to my friends in the live stream, but I’m going to eat it first as a tribute." Yue’er gestured to the camera, then went to town gnawing on the crab leg.

Lin Yang was half a beat behind her but he also figured out the trick to eating fresh Emperor Crab, copying her technique. He cut open the thick exoskeleton with scissors, quickly prepared it, and stuffed the lump of delicious crab meat into his mouth.

Once the crab meat hit the palate, a burst of succulent sweetness exploded on the tongue and taste buds. The mouth was awash with savory juices and sweet muscle fibers, leaving only one sensation throughout: freshness.

Compared to the dry crab meat we’re used to back home, this was like a completely different food altogether, even Yue’er couldn’t help but squint her eyes in delight.

Lin Yang chewed on a big chunk of crab leg meat contentedly. After swallowing, he finally addressed the live stream audience, "We’ve had Emperor Crab air-freighted to us in China a few times before, but to be honest, what we’re eating now is like a totally different ingredient!

Freshly caught and boiled in local sea water, this Emperor Crab tastes nothing like fish, just pure, naturally sweet flavors of crab meat bursting on the tip of the tongue—it’s simply amazing. I can’t help myself, got to take another bite; the craving is uncontrollable."
