Wanli Crab
New Taipei City has developed the "Wanli Crab" brand with the slogan “In Taiwan, you’ve got to eat Wanli Crab,” successfully boosting the visibility of Wanli Crab and encouraging people to visit the production areas along the North Coast.
In addition to promoting marine education, the Agriculture Department continues to strengthen brand and its value,enhancing overall economic benefits.
Wanli Crab refers to three species of marine crabs— mangrove crab, three-spot swimming crab, and swimming crab—caught using crab traps by fishing vessels registered in New Taipei City.
Autumn and winter are the peak seasons when these crabs are at their fattest. Their meat is firm and sweet, and popular cooking methods recommended by local Wanli fishermen include steaming, stir-frying into egg foo young, and boiling into congee.
