Steamed snow crab is steamed up with its entire stomach in an upper-bottomed steamer where it is full of stuffing during the winter months. It is full of flavor and aroma, so it is usually steamed in the fish market during winter. The red snow crab lives mainly in the depths of 400 ~ 2,300m in the East Sea. It begins to catch in September, and it starts to gain taste from October around Chuseok. As the weather becomes colder, the flavor of the crab becomes more deep and alive. Snow crab is not easy to eat because its price is expensive, however as Jumunjin sells them for a relatively cheap price, many visitors come from all over the country to have their bellies full of steam snow crab during the snow cab season.
