At first glance, this delicacy resembles a crab or crayfish, but its shell is tinted with hues of green or yellow, and its legs are short and vibrant yellow. The people of Quang Ngai often catch these unique crustaceans and prepare them by stir-frying with tamarind or making a delicious bun rieu (crab noodle soup), resulting in a dish that is sweet, fragrant, and buttery in taste.

The exotic crab unique to Bac Giang province in Vietnam has gained a reputation for its exquisite taste and soaring prices. With its exceptionally sweet meat and distinct flavor profile, the "cua da" crab has become a sought-after delicacy among discerning food enthusiasts.
