The top-quality crabs — a seasonal delicacy hugely popular among local residents — were worth about $1,280. More than 600 cheaper crabs were left untouched, the Chinese-language Oriental Daily News reported. "The thief only stole the expensive crabs. He had good taste," the shop's owner was quoted as saying by Ming Pao Daily. The burglary was discovered early Saturday when a police officer found that the shop's gate was pried open and notified the owner, Yue said. |

^^^ yes, I believe those were Chinese Mitten Crab from Shanghai. However, they were dying out in Shanghai because of over catching.
Interestingly, Chinese Mitten Crab had been found in Holland and elsewhere, probably brought by trading ships in the last century. Now, we have Chinese Mitten Crab again.
