As autumn approaches, it's time again for crab season. However, consumers may expect a hit in the wallet when they order their favorite crab dish. The domestic crab supply this year has dropped 20% due to hot weather, which inevitably caused a price hike.

We travel into the mountains of Wanli to find this year's first hairy crab, and finally find it in this pond.

The crab is extremely picky, and can only survive in pure mountain streams.

It is energetic and lively, and has surprising strength. Although the crab is relatively small in size, it will fetch a high price at the market.

Hairy crabs are susceptible to heat strokes during times of hot weather, and this year's weather conditions have resulted in the supply of domestic hairy crabs falling by 20%.

A 250-gram hairy crab will likely cost at least 500 NT.

Therefore, those that want to dine on hairy crab this Mid-Autumn Festival should be prepared to spend more than in years past.
