#春日生活打卡季 # "Borrowing money to eat seafood, it is not a bad time", every year in March, it is the time when the crustacean seafood is plump and plump, and this season is the season for the breeding of crustacean seafood, so the shrimp and crabs are full of seeds and paste, which also attracts many people to try it.
Pipi shrimp is the star seafood of Yangchun March, Pipi shrimp is also known as "shrimp crawler" or "shrimp girl", this kind of small seafood covered with armor, this season of the year is the fattest time of meat, especially the female skin shrimp with a white "king word" under the neck, there is a line of shrimp roe in this season, it tastes fresh and fragrant, and as a pure wild seafood species, Pipi shrimp is not easy to see when it reaches the May Day fishing holiday.
In previous years, the most attractive thing in the seafood market at this time of year is the skin shrimp, although the price of the skin shrimp is relatively high, but it can not stop people from trying the footsteps, after all, the skin shrimp at this time of the year is the fattest.
In recent days, I have been wandering around the seafood market, and I found that the stalls selling prawns this year are somewhat deserted, and there is also a lack of the lively scene of the vendors shouting loudly and pouring the whole basket of prawns on the board and pulling them with hooks to sell.
In previous years, the hot-selling skin shrimp, why are there fewer people eating it this year? Fishmonger: 4 reasons, very realistic.
1. The amount of pipi shrimp is small and the price is high
This year, when the shrimp was listed before the Qingming Festival, it cost about 100 yuan a catty, and if you don't pick it, it will cost 80 yuan a catty, because everyone likes to buy the female skin shrimp in this season to eat, so if you want to pick the whole mother, you have to get about 100 yuan a catty.
This year's spring is still colder than in previous years, so the market time of many seasonal seafood has been delayed, and the same is true for Pipi shrimp, because the production of shrimp is relatively low, which has also caused the price of Pipi shrimp to remain high this year.
Although the price of pipi shrimp has dropped recently, the price of 50 yuan a catty has also dissuaded many people who want to try it.
In previous years, the shrimp was about 35 yuan a pound in this season, and people who want to eat it at this price can still accept it, but this year's price does make people feel a little painful to eat a meal of shrimp.
2. Traders are reluctant to sell and hoard goods
Now it is getting closer and closer to the May Day fishing moratorium, and with the arrival of the tourist season in coastal cities, the price of high-quality seafood will rise, so many traders will temporarily raise the purchased shrimp.
The hoarded shrimp will be kept during the May Day period, and the price will rise a lot, so although the shrimp is not easy to sell because of the high price, the traders are not in a hurry to sell, and the conditions will be temporarily raised and hoarded, so that they will not worry about selling when the fishing season comes.
3. Pipi shrimp uses "technology and hard work"
The price of dead pipi shrimp has dropped by half and no one likes to want it, because the dead pipi shrimp is basically an empty shell, and there is no umami to eat.
Many traders will use sea crystal to breed when selling skin shrimp, or extend the shelf life of skin shrimp by oxygenation, so that after buying skin shrimp home, it is likely to be a layer of shell after cooking, and there is no umami taste when salty.
In addition to choosing the male and female, the most important thing is to see the vitality of the shrimp, as long as the shrimp can be turned over quickly bent over and turned over to be considered juicy and less, if it is bred in the tank for a long time, such shrimp will appear shell more meat less fat enough situation, spend a lot of money to buy such seafood natural consumers are not willing to buy.
4. The consumer groups faced by Pipi shrimp
Raw pickled prawns
Pipi shrimp used to be a seafood species that no one wanted on the beach, I remember my mother in the aquatic company, they bought seafood from fishing boats, and Pipi shrimp were basically cooked and dried for feed.
However, in recent years, with the depletion of offshore fishery resources, many of the previously inconspicuous seafood have now become hot goods, and shrimp and peeled fish are two representative types of seafood.
Now the shrimp is mainly to provide restaurants, as well as when the guests come to the family to a plate, ordinary families are rarely willing to spend a lot of money to buy the shrimp this season, and the shrimp is not worried about selling at all, it seems that the main reason for eating less is that the price is too expensive to limit the consumption of some people, and there are still a lot of people who are willing to eat this bite, and this group of people themselves is not much, so it gives everyone the feeling that there are fewer people who eat the shrimp.
Now the shrimp is indeed plump and plump, but this price has persuaded too many consumers, and with the arrival of the May Day Golden Week and the tourist season, the price of the shrimp is really unlikely to fall, I don't know if you have eaten the shrimp this year?
