Usually a noodle restaurant, crayfish are launched in May every year. I heard that chefs are famous. The most striking thing is the crayfish dishes on the menu, including more than 20 kinds of lobster with salt and pepper, lobster rice cake, salted crayfish, sweet and sour lobster, curry lobster and fish-flavored lobster, which can be described as an upgraded version of crayfish. Because it is usually a noodle restaurant, the environment is good, and the two words on the wall "The noodles are fragrant and delicious, and the table is clean and pleasant" are very beautiful.

I think this is one of the few delicious crayfish in Shanghai. Mainly because the recipe of the brine lobster here is developed by the proprietress herself, which is more suitable for the tastes of Shanghainese, and the ingredients used by the proprietress are authentic licensed, and the marinade is naturally rich in flavor, and the marinated lobster is even more speechless.
It is recommended that the dry fried lobster here is spicy and delicious, and the lobster is not fried very dry, and there is more juice in your mouth, which makes people memorable.
Happy kitchen
Just listen to the name of the store and you won't think of the lobster restaurant. Indeed, this shop usually cooks local dishes, but from January to May, crayfish is the signature. I have been making crayfish for several years, and I am famous. I am on the edge of the university, next to changfeng park, and I am very popular.
Shouning Road is not long, but it has a long history. This old road has witnessed the situation of Shanghai for more than 60 years. However, in recent years, the fame of Shouning Road has soared, but it has formed an indissoluble bond with crayfish.
The road is adjacent to Liulin Road in the west, Zhonghua Road in the east and Cross Tibet South Road, with a total length of only 200-300 meters. In the past, the restaurants here mainly engaged in convenience food stalls, but later, because crayfish became popular overnight, it became a famous "lobster street" in nearby Fiona Fang.
Lobster shops on Shouning Road are all hung with the brand of "Xiangba Island", and there are more than a dozen crayfish shops crowded on both sides of a path. It is said that crayfish of any flavor can be bought there. Shouning Road seems to be a veritable "spicy crayfish" gathering place. Small shops are spread next to each other, all called "Shamba Island" and "Shamba Island", with different sounds and characters. Just looking at it makes you feel in full swing.
Every summer night in the crayfish season, the whole street is full of people who eat crayfish. If you don't go early, you won't find a seat at all. This feeling is very similar to the alley life when I was a child. Everyone sat in the street in rows, rolling up their sleeves. Sven's reserve is no longer exquisite, and his hands are broken and scratched. He ate his mouth full of oil, flushed, thirsty and sweaty, but he still refused to stop. Shrimp shell fragments are scattered on the table and beer bottles are littered, which is still not enough. The shouts of "Boss, two more pounds" are one after another.
At that time, Shouning Road was undoubtedly a snack resort in the eyes of diners, and the word "Xiangba Island" was as famous as "Oriental Pearl". However, because this is an old road, and stalls are flooded all the year round, people rush around every day, and health problems are inevitably worrying. Therefore, after Shouning Road became famous, it became a sanitary street in Shanghai that needed to be rectified.
Later, with the reconstruction of Shouning Road, the previously chaotic lobster stalls gradually disappeared. With the rise of other professional crayfish restaurants in Shanghai, the once prosperous lobster street began to become depressed. Now, when you go to Shouning Road, you can find some outdated "Xiangba Island" shops, but you can't see the unprecedented grand occasion of thousands of people sitting on the street to eat crayfish.
Shanghainese have deep feelings for Shamba Island. In addition to Shouning Road, there is also a Xiangba Island lobster with branches in Yuping South Road, Fuzhou Road and Wujin Road. However, this family is different from others, and has little connection with lobster street, but its name is registered as Shamba Island, so it is also very popular. It tastes like lobster.

The crayfish in my impression will always be a snack in a street shop. It is rare to see it crowded into a mainstream dining and leisure place, but it just opened in Hongji Leisure Plaza in Xujiahui, just like a lobster upstart.
"Xianglibaba" didn't use this name at first. Like many crayfish restaurants, it uses the name "Snatching crayfish". Later, when he became famous, he changed his name for fear of being confused with other stores, but it always made people feel like "Shamba Island".
I heard that when the "hand-grabbed crayfish" restaurant first opened, diners came from all directions at 5 pm every day. In a short time, the upper and lower floors of the restaurant were crowded with people. The long queue of customers outside the door almost blocked the sidewalk, and those who came late had to queue up at the door to get the number.
At that time, the layout of the shop was very simple. There are four chairs on the rectangular table. The area is small, but the business is particularly prosperous. The menu is posted on the wall. There are many kinds of lobsters, such as crayfish, extra-large lobsters and lobster rice cakes, which can also be divided into three types according to the taste of guests: slightly spicy, medium spicy and heavy spicy. Since it is called grasping crayfish by hand, as the name implies, it is to eat it by hand instead of chopsticks. Looking around, the guests peeled shrimps with gloves, while holding plastic shells, and ate with relish. The specialty dish "Spicy Lobster" in the shop is ready, and the shrimp shell is coated with a thin layer of spicy oil. Generally, old diners order spicy food with heavy taste, and put it in their mouths to make it go straight to their throats.
The opening of "Li Xiang Baba" was very accidental. According to the boss, Miss Chen said, "I can get a berth on Engineering Road. Once I went to this restaurant for dinner, I casually asked the boss what the hotel transfer fee was at that time. The boss said that the price was 6.5438+0.2 million yuan, and I paid the money the next day. " He also said: "Actually, I first went to Shouning Road' Lobster Street' to find a store, but they were all occupied and there was no room. I think, comparatively speaking, the crayfish shop in Hongji Leisure Plaza is several grades higher than that in Shouning Road. When I chose the second' hand-grabbed crayfish' on Hongqiao Road, I chose Hongqiao Road, which was a busy day. The second store only opened for a month and a half, and the business surpassed the first one. "
The take-away business in the store is also very good, as long as it takes 50 yuan 15 minutes to deliver the goods to your door. The deliveryman said there was a big demand for guests. There was once a customer who shouted crayfish of nearly 65,438+10,000 yuan in one breath.
Because the business is really good, Hongqiao Store has added more than a dozen tables in the open air along the street. Even so, there will still be many guests standing by waiting for a taste of "Xiangbaba crayfish".

Shanghainese turn over a flower head every year: spicy crabs were popular a few years ago, and then new concept Sichuan cuisine, but now, if you haven't eaten 13 sweet lobsters, you are definitely behind the times.
Shops with the signboard of "Thirteen Fragrances of Xuyi" can often be seen on the street. In fact, among the nearly 1,000 shops that own "Xuyi 13 sweet lobster", only about 10% are authentic lobster franchisees.
"Xuyi 13 sweet lobster" franchise stores have a clear definition, and at least three conditions must be met: they must choose Xuyi lobster, use Xuyi ingredients and receive Xuyi technical training. The pronunciation of the word Xuyi is a bit academic. Pronunciation is "Xuyi" instead of "Yutai". Xuyi is close to Hongze Lake. The lobster produced here is pollution-free and delicious. This is the famous "hometown of lobster" in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and the famous lobster festival is held here every year. In addition, Xuyi is also rich in Chinese herbal medicines. The lobster "Thirteen Fragrances" adopts 13-30 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines produced in Xuyi, which is not only spicy and delicious, but also has a certain therapeutic effect.
Fuji Kitchen is the first member store of Lobster Association in Shanghai. The boss is the vice president of Xuyi Lobster Association, and the chef is Xuyi. Xuyi lobster is a household name in Shanghai beach because of its original thirteen flavors. People who come to taste Xuyi lobster every day can be discharged outside the store, and even relatives and friends can come along. Everyone was sweating and numb, but still satisfied. According to the manager, hundreds of pounds of lobster can be sold here every day.
A basin full of crayfish was brought up, and it was no exaggeration to feel the hot aroma from a distance. This is a special fragrance which is a mixture of light sweetness and herbal fragrance. It is said that Thirteen Fragrances is only a part of thick spices, and many kinds of spices such as star anise, pepper, cardamom and angelica dahurica are added 10. As for why it is called thirteen incense, some people joked that it is because Fuji has thirteen tricks. Can you believe it? It is not impossible to think that Fuji has such a profound "Xuyi crayfish heritage". Fuji Kitchen, No.868 Baoshan Road, Hongkou District (near Hengbang Road)
Some people compare Fuxing Road to the Champs Elysé es in Paris. Fumao crayfish is located at the intersection of Fuxing Maoming. Although the storefront decoration is not gorgeous, its reputation has already spread abroad.
The owner of this crayfish shop, surnamed Yan, is a talkative and funny person. IT's hard to imagine that he used to come from the IT industry.
At the beginning of the store, it was called "grabbing crayfish". Later, business flourished and reputation gradually rose. Pirates have also risen. The boss naturally understands the importance of copyright protection. From then on, he caught crayfish and got his own name-Fumao, which has been used ever since. There are five branches in this city now.
Every store always has its own business, and Fumao crayfish is no exception. In addition to the top secret "recipe for marinated crayfish", the boss likes to sum up his success with three points. The first is the source of goods. All the wild crayfish in Fumaodian come from Hongze Lake area, and the water quality is clear. After layer-by-layer screening, it is washed and burned now, which ensures the freshness and purity to the greatest extent. Secondly, the taste, lobster cooking has a scientific model, the boss proudly said that he learned from KFC's successful experience, that is, the standardization of raw materials and production technology, so that the crayfish produced in each store has a unified taste. The third is management. Chefs in the store have exams every week, which are divided into written tests and food reviews, and innovative recipes are regularly introduced.
Braised crayfish
There are more than 20 kinds of lobster dishes in the shop, the most famous of which is brine crayfish. In order to ensure the taste, the brine is basically changed in 5 hours. The degree of spicy can be chosen according to your own habits and preferences, but don't overestimate your spicy bottom line.
There is a small plastic basin in front of everyone, which is used to spit shells, and there are two gloves. Originally, I thought it would be special to dip it in. In fact, it is vinegar, sugar and ginger. The key taste is crayfish itself. It's hard not to eat crayfish. The hotter, the more enjoyable and exciting it is. You don't need to pay attention to the image when eating crayfish. Everything depends on your hands. Proficiency is directly proportional to the number of times you eat. Your hands should be coordinated. After eating, I felt that my lips were blown up by explosives. It will be more comfortable to drink some cold beer at this time.
Fumao Small Lobster (Fuxing Branch)
Most people go to Fumao crayfish, and once or twice they become frequent visitors. Every night, the guests here are full, and the seductive crayfish fragrance permeates the night. Unfortunately, they can't get seats, so many people choose to buy them outside and go home to taste them. After all the money is spent in Fumao, 50 yuan, they will also provide delivery (within 30 minutes).
The greatest pleasure of eating crayfish is freedom, regardless of status or eating posture. Everyone just wants a hot meal. I am afraid this is also the success of Fumao in attracting the public.
