Methods for selecting squid

1, choose from the color: high-quality squid transparent red, body tender, transparent light yellow, thin body. If it is an old squid, the color will be slightly purple, the body is larger. If it is aged squid, it is dark and does not look fresh, it has a thick layer of frost and is not transparent.
