#夏日生活打卡季#三伏天里正处于休渔期中, so the seafood market is relatively deserted, the seafood sold is basically farmed shellfish, as well as chilled, many seafood vendors choose this season to close, because the hot day to sell seafood needs to buy ice, the loss of seafood is too great.
However, recently farmed live shrimp began to be listed in large quantities, especially in Dalian and Shandong coastal cities, now the seafood market can be seen everywhere live shrimp, and this year's live shrimp can be said to be listed on the price, the cheapest has reached 15 yuan a catty.
Many people who like to eat seafood have a soft spot for live shrimp in this season, thinking that this shrimp is the "first fresh" in Futian, but for people by the sea, they scoff at this kind of live shrimp, thinking that it is cheap and not selling mainly for these 4 reasons, and the live shrimp in this season cannot be eaten indiscriminately.
1. The live shrimp on the market now is not the best time
Those who are engaged in seafood farming know that in addition to some shellfish seafood, most seafood is the colder the water, the better it tastes, and when the weather is hot, it is the time when some seafood hatches offspring and reproduces, and it is also the time when the small fish and shrimp born in the year begin to grow up, which is why the fishing moratorium is also called the "off-season fishing moratorium".
Although the live shrimp on the market now are all farmed, because the water temperature of the shrimp pond where these shrimps are cultivated is the highest time of the year, the umami and firmness of the shrimp meat are much worse, which is why few people buy deep processing now, and shrimp farmers can only sell them cheaply.
2. The water quality of the shrimp pond now
There is a saying among people on the beach that they don't eat seafood after heavy rains, especially on the beaches, because when heavy rain comes, the stains on the shore will be washed into the seawater, so the seafood living here is easily polluted.
Most of the shrimp ponds are built on the seaside, and they are particularly flat, the dog days are the flood season, and there are many heavy rains and torrential rains at this time, so the fresh water in the shrimp pond increases, and the stains that are washed out will cause certain pollution to the water quality, so the shrimp produced in the shrimp pond at this time is naturally not good in taste and texture.
3. The feeding method of live shrimp
In the environment of high temperature and high-density aquaculture, if you want to raise shrimp well in dog days, you need to apply drugs in the shrimp pond to prevent shrimp from getting sick, and the bait put into the shrimp at this time is also easy to ferment and deteriorate in the shrimp pond, so in order to purify the water quality, it is indispensable to put some drugs to purify the water quality.
Live shrimp in the high temperature dog days breeding density is too large, the water temperature also becomes particularly high, at this time the production of live shrimp, taste and quality is naturally inferior, which is why it is cheap and difficult to sell.
4. The taste of live shrimp on the market now
It is not difficult for people who like to eat shrimp to find that the head of the live shrimp on the market is bitter after cooking, because the shrimp head mainly concentrates the digestive organs of the shrimp, and there is no digested bait in it, as well as the harmful substances on the shrimp body, so it is best to remove the farmed shrimp and shrimp head in this season.
Now the live shrimp on the market are basically Ecuador white shrimp this species, this shrimp adaptability is particularly strong, whether fresh water or sea water can be farmed, this shrimp has a particularly obvious feature, that is, the color will turn white after death, it can only be said that this variety of shrimp is mainly fast growth and high yield, the taste is much worse than the body with markings around the shrimp.
Don't eat live shrimp when eating them now
First, the raw pickling method is not suitable for this kind of farmed live shrimp
"Eat crabs raw, eat shrimp alive", this is a common saying spread on the seaside, but farmed shrimp is not suitable for raw pickling and live eating, after all, many farmed shrimp are not pure seawater farming, it is easy to breed bacteria and parasites, so it is better to eat live shrimp or steamed and cooked after eating.
Second, do not eat the head of the shrimp
When the water temperature is cold, there will be shrimp oil in the shrimp head, and the reproductive organs and digestive organs of the shrimp are concentrated in the shrimp head part, but the live shrimp listed in Futian, this shrimp head is not suitable for consumption, because not only the taste is not good, but also there is a high probability of feed and drug residues, so it is best to eat live shrimp after removing the head in this season.
Although the price of this year's live shrimp has "plunged" as soon as it is listed, the main reason is that the quality of live shrimp in this season is average, so it cannot be called "the first fresh in Futian", and more attention should be paid when eating.
