Donating to the museum

In New Leaf

After being donated to the museum, the mitten crab can be found in the left room inside the third tank. The exhibit has this to say about the Mitten Crab:

"Officially known as the mitten crab, they also go by the name "shanghai crab." They are commonly used in Chinese dishes, which is how most people become familiar with them. Their breeding habits are the complete opposite of salmon in that they hatch in the ocean first. They move up rivers when they reach adult size, returning to the ocean in order to spawn."

In New Horizons

When donating to Blathers or selecting "Tell me about this!" in New Horizons, he will provide the following information about the fish:

"The mitten crab was named for its impossibly adorable and fuzzy little pincers. These cute crustaceans embark on quite the journey. They're first born in brackish waters. Then they mature in freshwater. Finally, they travel to the ocean to create more mitten crabs!Hoo! How I delight in the thought of thousands of tiny mittened crabs scuttling about!"

Once donated to the museum, the Mitten Crab can be found in the lower level of the waterfall tank with the Sturgeon and the King Salmon.

Real-world information

A real-life mitten crab

The 'Mitten Crab', also known as the 'Chinese Mitten Crab' or 'Shanghai Crab' is a burrowing crab originating in Asia. On its claws are dense bristles that give it the appearance of wearing "mittens". This crab is also an invasive species in the U.S. and Europe, due to illegal transport and the crab's ability to survive in adverse conditions such as swimming pools. The 'Mitten Crab' is also a delicacy in Shanghai during the Autumn season, and it can now even be found in vending machines in China.

More info can be found on the Mitten Crab's Wikipedia page.
