Weizhou Island's seafood is mostly sold on the same day, if it is seafood in the food stalls, it may be that the oxygen has been raised for several days, and the meat quality and freshness are not as good as those just hit.
"One look, two moves, three smells"
A look: Look at the fish eye, the eye is transparent and non-turbid, indicating high freshness. Look at whether the gills are close to each other and whether the surface of the fish is shiny. The shrimp shell should be close to the shrimp meat, and the shrimp body should be complete, elastic and shiny, and the shell color should be bright. Crab and shellfish shells should be shiny in color and hard and elastic. Squid, octopus, etc. should have smooth skin, bent claws, and clear markings will change color.
Two moves: press the seafood meat by hand, if the meat is solid and elastic, it will not sink deeply, that is, it means fresh.
1. Crabs: When picking sea crabs, crabs with black-green shells and bright lights are thick and strong; crabs with yellow shells are mostly thinner. In addition, you should also choose a crab with large claw clamping force, full umbilicus, snow white abdomen, deep and thick lines, if you encounter a yellow belly, shallow and thin lines, light weight, it means that it is not strong enough.
2. Shrimp: good quality shrimp: the head and body are closely connected, the shell and the shrimp meat are closely integrated, when pressing the shrimp body with the hand, it feels hard and elastic, the sides and ventral surface of the shrimp body are white, and the back is cyan (the male shrimp is light yellow all over the body), shiny.
3. Fish: the eyeballs are full, the flesh is firm and elastic, the gills are bright red, and the scales are complete and fresh
4. Shellfish: Fresh shellfish seafood shell color should be shiny, the limbs are hard and elastic, in addition to seeing whether the water quality of the stored shellfish is clear and whether there is excrement. Secondly, you can touch it with your hand, and you can shrink it to select fresh seafood that is alive and moving.
Three smells: Finally, smell with your nose to smell if there is any odor
