Ever since I made a headline, many readers have asked me if I am a fisherman? Can you do a few articles that introduce seafood skills or how to make delicious seafood, so that everyone can buy fresh and delicious seafood, so that Xiaobai can also learn to make seafood.
Now I am busy learning this article to answer the questions of your readers!
First, I am not a fisherman, but a student.
Why do I make headlines about seafood? Although I am not a fisherman, my family has been a fisherman for generations. By my generation, I had given up the profession of fishermen, but some of the inheritance could not be changed, and I learned a lot about seafood under the influence of my elders.
I remember when I was young, whenever I bought some fish, shrimp and crabs at home, the elders would talk about those past years, the days when the wind came and went, what fish was fat in what season, what fish was worthless before, and how expensive it has become now, all of which are written in my mind!
But what made me more exposed to seafood was that the first venture in the summer of 2016 was related to seafood, which is the name of this headline number " Small Fresh Meat Seafood "! For this venture, I also made up a lot of seafood knowledge, consulted many senior old fishermen, and finally understood many seafood knowledge tips, although it is not as good as those old fishermen, but in terms of seafood eating and picking, has a little knowledge. On the other hand, I want to use the headline number to let the readers supplement my seafood knowledge, after all, the road you have traveled is not covered, there are many seafood knowledge I do not understand, there may be readers will understand, I said the wrong knowledge also please know the reader to point out the correction!
Second, in fact, I also want to do an article on seafood knowledge, but I don't have enough materials in hand, because I spend most of my time in school, so it is very embarrassing to update, but I will do my best to thank all readers for their support!
Back to the topic
Why are the shrimp we eat at a friend's house so crisp and sweet, but when we go to the market to buy live shrimp and cook it ourselves, we don't have that kind of texture and taste?
That's because many friends and many friends mistakenly think that the more fresh the shrimp, the better, although there are some factors, but it is not the main, so what is the main factor?
Let me start with the question: "Do friends know what a soft-footed shrimp is?" ”
Some people will ask if this has anything to do with soft-footed shrimp?
A: "This is a big correlation!" ”
Don't buy Guanzi, why do we buy live shrimp or the taste is not good?
It's because the shrimp we bought has the wrong growth cycle.
Shrimp will undergo multiple dehulling during the growth process, and after each dehulling, the tall will grow very quickly.
Why we say soft-footed shrimp, that is to strengthen your impression.
Because the live shrimp we bought is not crisp, it belongs to the scope of soft-footed shrimp.
Soft-footed shrimp refers to the shrimp that is recovering shortly after the shell is just unhulled, the shrimp at this stage are much larger in the individual, most of the specifics are determined by the variety of shrimp, generally have about 20% larger than before the shelling, and the action is slow, the shrimp body is fragile, and the nutrients are mostly used on the long shell, resulting in the thinness of the shrimp body, there is a certain gap between the shell and the shrimp body, and it is easy to be preyed upon by other fish and shrimp.
Because the shrimp shell nutrition at this time is mainly used on the long shell, part of the nutrient loss causes the shrimp to be not crisp and not so sweet.
So how to choose crisp and sweet shrimp?
Then we have to choose our own!
Specifically, the shrimp shell of the second section of the shrimp body is pinched by hand, if there is no obvious gap between the shrimp shell and the shrimp body, it is not a soft-footed shrimp.
This is the easiest way to choose crispy shrimp, and there is 1 method that can only be said to let everyone know, and it is necessary to try more to understand!
Eye-to-eye method, skilled fishermen can distinguish soft-footed shrimp without hand, look at the quality at a glance, this is already the realm of hand skill, to practice more, as shown in the following figure for the author to pick out the hard shell shrimp!

The crispness of shrimp is related to the cooking method, which can only be reflected by incandination, and it is difficult to distinguish between frying and frying
There is also related to the degree of ripeness, overcooked shrimp body dehydration, about 9 points of maturity is appropriate
Soft shell shrimp and soft foot shrimp are different quality shrimp, soft shell shrimp is just a thin film shortly after the shell of the shrimp, this soft shell shrimp is very rare, very delicious, can not be the same as soft foot shrimp
