在宁波，有一道独特的美食，让在外奔波的游子魂牵梦绕宁波家乡，提到这道美食，宁波人不禁感叹道：“dna动了！”——它就是生腌酱蟹！
In Ningbo, there is a unique delicacy that tugs at the hearts of those who are far away from home, making them long for their hometown. When this dish is mentioned, Ningbo locals can't help but exclaim: "It's in our DNA!" — it's the marinated soy sauce crab!
宁波酱蟹选用本地新鲜梭子蟹为主料，配以精心调制的秘方酱汁，经过多道工序腌制而成。每一只酱蟹都保留了蟹肉的鲜美与弹性，同时吸收了浓郁的酱香，咸中带甜，风味独特。
Ningbo soy sauce crab is made from locally sourced fresh swimming crabs, complemented by a carefully crafted secret sauce. The crabs go through multiple steps of marinating, creating a flavorful and irresistible dish. Each soy sauce crab retains the freshness and elasticity of the crab meat while absorbing the rich, aromatic sauce. It's a perfect balance of saltiness and sweetness with a distinct flavor.
宁波酱蟹的口感确实有其独特的魅力，它并非完全像果冻那样，但的确有着某种相似的质感。酱蟹在腌制过程中，蟹体内的水分与调料相互作用，使得蟹肉带有一种特别的凝胶状质地，尤其是蟹腿部分的肉质，在轻轻咬开时，会有轻微的弹性和回缩感，这有点类似于果冻的触感。
The texture is unique and captivating—it's not exactly like jelly, but there is definitely a similar quality to it. During the marination process, the moisture inside the crab interacts with the seasoning, giving the crab meat a special gel-like texture. Particularly in the legs, the meat has a slight bounce and a retraction feel when gently bitten into, which is similar to the sensation of eating jelly.
