However, this year's crayfish market is even more deserted than in previous years, and people are gradually losing interest in crayfish, resulting in a significant drop in sales.

Crayfish, which was once known as the "overlord of supper", why are fewer people eating it now? What's going on behind this?

In fact, there are mainly the following 5 reasons why everyone doesn't like to eat, let's take a look.

1. I'm tired of eating

Crayfish this delicacy almost did not exist 10 years ago, at that time people's understanding of crayfish, this exotic creature was very limited, and later in Zhejiang there were the first people to try crayfish, crayfish began to be gradually served to the table.

The ruddy crayfish was loved by people as soon as it was launched, and became an Internet celebrity delicacy, and various crayfish restaurants have sprung up.

People who have never eaten crayfish are vying to taste it, everyone wants to try it, however, as time goes on, as the supply of crayfish increases, people have tasted crayfish.

Over time, people lost their taste for crayfish, and diners began to look for new culinary experiences and turned to other innovative flavors.

2. There is no innovation in taste

The crayfish market is becoming increasingly competitive, but many crayfish restaurants do not introduce new flavors or innovative cooking methods, resulting in serious product homogenization.

It has been seven or eight years since crayfish were first popular, but the taste of crayfish is still so different, either spicy or spicy, or garlic.

Consumers have gradually lost interest in the taste of repetition, and the taste has not been innovated, and everyone is really not interested in crayfish.

3. The price is expensive

As a non-seafood delicacy, crayfish can only be regarded as a river fresh delicacy at most, but the price of crayfish is more than 20 yuan per catty, which is much more expensive than ordinary river fresh food.

You must know that a pound of pork is only about 10 yuan, chicken, duck and goose will not exceed 20 pounds, and crayfish only have a little meat on the tail, but the price is comparable to seafood.

Nowadays, consumers pay more attention to cost performance, compared to seafood such as Jiwei shrimp, crayfish is not cost-effective at all, let alone compared with pigs, beef and sheep.

Although crayfish is expensive, it is actually not worthy of such a high price, and many people would rather eat chicken, duck and fish than eat crayfish.

4. It's too troublesome to eat

Compared to other delicacies, crayfish is too cumbersome to eat, and people often wear disposable gloves when eating crayfish to prevent their hands from getting dirty.

However, due to the fact that the shell of the crayfish is not very easy to peel, and the body parts of the crayfish are very hard, the disposable gloves will be broken if you are not careful, and you have not eaten 10 crayfish, and your hands are full of grease.

I have to wash it again, and then I have to eat it after washing my hands, and I have to wash it again, and in the process of eating crayfish, if someone calls or sends a message, it is simply a disaster, and there is no way to reply to it.

Crayfish is not only a hassle to eat, but even more troublesome to make, and if you choose to make crayfish at home, it will take half an hour just to clean it.

5. Hygiene issues
