Wu-Soong Crab “Gunn”

Crabs are delicious no matter how they’re cooked, but when those of a special kind are treated to an unusual preparational procedure, the result is extraordinary. “Gunn,” the Chinese equivalent of a bisque or chowder, is found in all the regional Chinese styles of cooking, but only the people living in and around Wu-Soong, a suburb of Shanghai, are lucky enough to make a gunn with the remarkable flavor of the miniature crabs found in the bay at the mouth of the Yangtze River.
