Crayfish must be a food that everyone is paying close attention to recently!

When I used to be a chef, no one ate crayfish. That is to say, it has become more and more popular in recent years. Crayfish are basically sold in all kinds of restaurants in the streets and alleys. They are braised in oil. Shrimp, braised shrimp, thirteen-spice crayfish. The cities where I have seen the most lobster-eating are Hubei, Jiangsu, Changsha, etc... The more famous ones are Hubei's braised prawns and Jiangsu's Xuyi crayfish. I remember when I was working in Nantong, there was a lobster shop called "Unforgettable". The sales volume was at least 5,000 kilograms a day. Eat again!

Have you ever noticed a problem when eating crayfish? That is, those crayfish whose heads and tails have not been removed have very tight meat and have a Q-like taste to them. Is it related to the slaughtering and cleaning? , or does it have something to do with the cooking techniques? Let's discuss this issue together. First of all: crayfish is a relatively dirty food. The surface of shrimp is a layer of mud. It cannot be cleaned by just washing it with water. It must be brushed with a brush. In this problem I believe everyone has the same idea as me, but people who often eat shrimp know that there is a shrimp thread in the shrimp, but should this shrimp thread be removed? There is a contradiction in this question. Let’s take a look at what this netizen said:

The netizen said: I have opened a lobster shop for 7 years. I guarantee that all the lobsters in our shop are Hand-washed by hand, each crayfish is brushed out with a brush. It will never be said that it has not been cleaned and a dead lobster will never be used. This is one of the reasons why I can continue to operate it for a long time. Regarding shrimp smoking Regarding the thread issue, if you are cooking thirteen-spice lobster, you absolutely do not need to draw the shrimp thread, because the meat will melt as soon as the shrimp thread is drawn, the meat will fall apart, and it will not taste chewy. This method is only suitable for stir-frying

I personally agree with this statement. First of all, whether it is for guests or for yourself, it must be washed clean before eating, and then it can be cooked in the pot. I personally feel that It cannot be removed

But if you are making whole crayfish, I suggest you remove the thread, because the shrimp thread is only removed to make it cleaner. This cooking method is similar to that of crayfish with the head removed. The method is completely different

And when making braised prawns, you only need to cut off the sharp tip in front of the crayfish with scissors. You cannot directly remove the head. There is still the essence of the shrimp in it. "Shrimp yellow" is inside!

After seeing this, everyone should have a clear understanding of the cleaning and preparation methods of crayfish. If you have a better way, please leave a message below to share your experience. and experience!
