1/5 Step-by-step reading

When buying lobster, be sure not to be cheap. There are many lobster sellers in the market, and the prices vary greatly. At this time, you can ask several more to make a compromise choice. You can repay about 20% of the price appropriately. If the price is too low and the stall owner is still willing to sell it to you, then there must be something wrong.

Lobsters are divided into wild and artificially cultured, and the prices are also different. Generally, wild lobsters are better in all aspects of freshness. The breeding ones are relatively lazy and weak.

2/5

Hele crab. Many crab vendors claim that they sell Hele crabs, but there are relatively few real Hele crabs and it is difficult to buy them. There are more crabs, so it is more cost-effective to buy crabs directly. Most crab sellers will sell substandard crabs, and they also want to avoid buying dead crabs, so you need to use your hands to feel whether the crabs are alive, and avoid entraining other things when weighing, such as adding a lot of water in plastic bags.

3/5

There are relatively many varieties of shellfish, including mango snails, sea melon seeds, white snails, bamboo tube struts, scallops, scallops, oysters, etc. When selecting shellfish, touch the flesh of the shellfish lightly with your hands. If the shellfish can move or retract, it must be alive. Be sure to use a plastic basket when weighing, not only to drain away the water, but also to pick out bad shellfish. Don’t bother, it’s best to choose one by one.

4/5

Crawling shrimp. It is also called Pipi shrimp, and Cantonese call it Mantis shrimp. Be careful of those merchants who are particularly enthusiastic about helping to catch Pipi shrimps. These shrimps are very easy to die. It is very likely that the Pipi shrimps that look alive to you are just their hands moving. Drain as much water as possible when weighing. Pinch it with your hands. The firm ones are good. Don't buy the soft ones. They are usually broken.

5/5

The last thing I want to say is: don’t go to those scattered shops scattered along the streets. Try to go to large seafood markets. When purchasing, be sure to keep an eye on the seafood you buy, because if you are not careful, the seafood you buy may be transferred. I wish everyone can buy fresh and cheap seafood.
