With the improvement of our material level, crabs and shrimps are no longer the delicious food that can only be eaten on New Year's day. We usually buy some to improve the taste. If you buy more, you will be cheated. Now, let's take a look at the tips for buying shrimps.
Never buy dead shrimp
When we buy shrimp, we must know how to distinguish its freshness. Seafood is a word "fresh". The fresher the shrimp, the more delicious it will be. Otherwise, it will lose its freshness and the meat will be rotten.
Fresh shrimp has a very tight adhesion between its shell and muscle. When we peel the shrimp meat by hand, it takes a lot of work and clothing. The intestine tissue and meat of fresh shrimp are also very tight. Yes, the intestine and meat of frozen shrimp are not very tight. We find that the intestine and meat are loose, which means that the shrimp is not dead and fresh.
When we buy live shrimp, if the shrimp will produce bubbles from time to time, it means that it is fresh. The shell of fresh shrimp must be hard, the color is green and bright, the eyes are protruding, the meat is firm, and the taste is very fishy. If the shell is soft, the color is gray, the eyes are concave, and the shell meat is slightly separated, it means that the shrimp has just died. And yellow hair dark, head and feet off, meat loose powder shrimp must not buy, that it died for a long time.
Most of the shrimps with blackened gills are diseased shrimps
Recently, the relevant media reported that in some markets, you can buy a few yuan per kilogram of shrimp, and the original price is dozens of yuan. Why is it so cheap? Some experts pointed out that this is because some of these cheap shrimp are found to have fish drug residues, such as chloramphenicol. Therefore, they can only be sold at a reduced price, and because of the lack of management and detection means in the aquatic market, such cheap shrimps can be sold in large quantities in the market, and the people who are greedy for cheap have actually become victims.
When we buy shrimp, we must pay attention to observation. Generally speaking, the skin of sick shrimp fed with medicine will have some black and white spots, and the gills will also appear black.
Finally, I would like to remind you that due to the increasingly serious pollution of the sea water environment, there are more and more harmful substances in many seafood. Some people are even poisoned by eating contaminated seafood. Therefore, we must eat seafood moderately, not in large quantities.
