Seafood types include fish, shrimps, shellfish, crabs, etc. As long as they are edible animal or plant materials produced in the sea, they are generally called seafood.

Folk ways of eating seafood:

1. Cooked food method: Generally, boiling, steaming, stewing, frying, frying and other methods are used to cook fish and shrimp into various dishes, and Commonly used fresh ingredients are steamed or stewed with pickled foods.

2. Raw food method: Use live river shrimps, wash them and soak them in wine, sugar, ginger, etc. for a while, and then eat them raw, commonly known as "drunken shrimps"; oyster meat can also be eaten raw. When dipped in a little sauce, vinegar, minced ginger, etc., the taste is delicious. It should be noted that since fresh seafood often contains bacteria and toxins, eating it raw can easily cause food poisoning. Therefore, not all seafood can be eaten raw and must be handled properly.

3. Dry curing method: For example, cut open the fresh yellow croaker and dry it in the sun, which is the famous "white croaker", which is delicious; or cut the cuttlefish (commonly known as "squid") and cut off the conch and dry it in the sun. It's called "Mingzhou". This kind of dried and cured seafood can not only be stored for a long time, but also has a unique flavor.

4. Pickling method: Use salt or distiller's grains to make seafood and store it in a tank as a year-round dish. For example, marinate the whole crab for a few days before eating.

Extended information:

The improvement of living standards has made more and more people pay attention to the nutrition and safety of food. When choosing meat, many people will give priority to seafood with high nutritional value. But making smart and safe choices is also important.

1. Deep-sea fish choose herbivores. Deep-sea fish are recognized as nutritional masters, but it is best to choose herbivorous fish with low mercury content. The common croaker, saury, hairtail, mackerel, snapper, etc. are all herbivorous marine fish, and the content of docosahexaenoic acid (also known as DHA, brain gold) is not low, especially saury.

2. Freshwater fish are not low in nutrition. Freshwater fish brains also have a lot of gold content, among which seabass is not inferior to sea fish, and fatty eels are also good.

3. Eat shellfish occasionally in small amounts. The brain gold content of shellfish is high, but it is easy to accumulate heavy metals. It is dangerous to eat in large quantities. It is better to eat in small amounts occasionally.

4. Cook correctly to maintain nutrition. The way you cook it is crucial to retaining nutrients. Roasting or steaming is the best way to preserve brain gold. There is no need to add oil even if saury, cod, etc. with high fat content are fried; or when frying, add as little oil as possible or use a non-stick pan. Otherwise, the brain's golden ratio will drop significantly.

5. At the same time, it is best to eat seafood with some fruits and vegetables. Vegetables, fruits, whole grains and other foods rich in dietary fiber are experts at removing pollution, and the proteins in milk and beans are also good at removing pollution. It is helpful to reduce the harm of mercury and excrete heavy metals, so it is recommended to eat it regularly
