Generally speaking, autumn (September to November) is the best season for eating seafood. The reasons are as follows:
1. Moderate water temperature: In autumn, the water temperature is moderate, the metabolism of marine life is strong, and the meat is delicious. In addition, the seawater at this time is rich in nutrients, which is conducive to the growth of marine life.
2. After the breeding period: Many marine organisms breed in the summer. In the autumn after the breeding period, their physical fitness gradually recovers and their meat becomes plump. In addition, in preparation for the coming winter, marine organisms will store more fat, making the meat more delicious.
3. Fishing season: Autumn is often the season for fishermen to fish. Therefore, the supply of seafood is large, the varieties are rich, and the price is relatively low.
Of course, this is not absolute. Different seafood species have their respective peak periods in different seasons. For example, spring is the egg-laying season for crabs, and the meat of crabs is plump at this time; summer is the breeding season for fish, and some fish taste very good at this time. Therefore, when choosing seafood, it is also necessary to judge based on the specific variety and taste.
