Born in Hangzhou, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River,
has always loved to eat fresh,
Among them, a small and nutritious river shrimp,
It is the favorite of many people.
However, due to the high cost of river shrimp farming,
supply is less than demand,
The price has always been hundreds of yuan a catty.
But recently, the price of river shrimp has plummeted.
There is also a boss of an aquatic stall who shouted,
This price has reached the lowest in a year.
120 yuan/jin→ 65 yuan/jin
The price is almost halved
Xiao Wang (pseudonym) is
The owner of the aquatic product stall in the Yuhang Farmers' Market in Hangzhou,
Aquatic products that have been in business for at least 15 years,
For the regular fluctuation of aquatic prices
I already know it.
I heard that the editor came to ask the price,
Xiao Wang enthusiastically introduced:
"The current price, the female shrimp is 65 yuan a catty,
Male shrimp because they are a little bigger,
So it's slightly expensive, it's 80 yuan a catty.
Half a month ago, the river shrimp was 120 yuan a catty,
This is already the price that has fallen to the bottom! ”
Not only farmers' markets,
Wholesale price of river shrimp in Hangzhou aquatic market,
It also fell quite a bit.
Market vendors introduced, at present,
The wholesale price of river shrimp in the market is divided by size,
The approximate price is 60 yuan a pound of shrimp,
Medium shrimp 70 yuan a catty, prawns 80 yuan a catty,
Specific prices may also be
Slightly adjusted according to the actual situation.
It is understood that every year in May,
River shrimp will usher in the lowest point of the annual price,
At this time, river shrimp are on the market in large quantities,
Not only is the price affordable, but the shrimp meat is full,
The taste is also the best.
The female shrimp has become smaller because of the shrimp roe.
The price is cheaper than the large male shrimp.
However, although the mother shrimp is small,
Because it has seeds, it is more fragrant,
There are also many people who prefer to eat female shrimp with seeds.
The price has reached the end
More people are buying
price falls,
It also attracted more citizens to buy river shrimp.
Xiao Wang told the editor:
"There are some people who will come and ask for the price,
After finding that the river shrimp is much cheaper,
Deliberately buy a little more. ”
In the last two days,
Customers who buy river prawns at Xiao Wang's stall,
That's about 10% more than before.
However, such a good price is only in May,
In June, after the temperature climbed to 35°C,
River shrimp are difficult to breed due to high temperatures.
The amount will be much less than it is now,
Prices will also increase.
The selection of river shrimp is particular
High-quality river prawns are almost transparent
How to choose river prawns?
The boss of Hexian and the sister-in-law Ma who often buys vegetables,
The following points are summarized:
Take a look at the shape. Fresh river prawns have a curved body and are not particularly straight, and the body is very tightly connected to the head of the shrimp, as is the connection to the tail.
Second, smell the smell. Fresh river shrimp have a faint fishy smell, and unfresh river shrimp will have a fishy smell.
Third, look at the color. The color of high-quality river shrimp is almost transparent, with only a hint of turquoise, while the surface color of river shrimp will turn black after a long storage time.
Fourth, look at whether there is elasticity. Holding the prawns in your hand, pinching the head and shaking it a little harder, the fresh, high-quality prawn meat is full of elasticity.
Fifth, look at the activity. Prawns are usually sold in a fish tank, and the most active prawns can be selected with a net.
Because the more active the river shrimp, the more delicate the meat will be, the better the taste, and the live river shrimp generally do not have to worry about health problems.
