Seafood is the best feedback for every friend who comes from afar, but the seafood in the tourism market is often chaotic. We have spent a lot of thoughts and written an anti-slaughter strategy, hoping to bring some help to our friends. Let your trip to Sanya be thick and smooth.

First seafood market

Sanya's first seafood market is one of the oldest, most popular, most famous, most abundant and cheapest seafood markets in Sanya. It is located in downtown Sanya, close to Haitian Shengyan Port and International Shopping Center. 8 kilometers from high-speed railway station, 30 minutes by taxi and 45 minutes by bus; It's 0/6 km from Phoenix Airport/KLOC-,40 minutes by taxi and 70 minutes by bus. It's only 3 minutes' walk from here to Sanya River, and it's 15 minutes' walk to see Sanya Bay. Take a taxi to Luhuitou 10 minutes, go to Coconut Dream Corridor for 20 minutes, and go to Eternal Love 18 minutes. It is 4 kilometers from Dadonghai and 25 kilometers from Yalong Bay. And all the famous restaurants in Sanya are almost in the 3 km business circle of the first market. Therefore, the first market is almost a punch-in point for Sanya travel. So we set the first choice for buying seafood here, and share practical skills for buying seafood with you here.

The main entrance of the first market, there are fewer people during the day.

means of transportation

Back to the first market, no matter where you are, I suggest three modes of transportation.

1. public transportation: use the navigation software on your mobile phone to navigate the "first market", choose the mode of public transportation, and then take the bus to get there according to the navigation information.

Advantages: cheap, you can see the streets of Sanya.

Disadvantages: it takes a long time, and some places need to change trains.

2. Didi: Take a taxi with Didi on WeChat or mobile phone and enter the first market. PS: Try not to take a taxi. Some taxi drivers will take you to restaurants with kickbacks, but not drip.

Advantages: Convenient.

Disadvantages: expensive.

3. Rent a car/drive: Just obey the traffic rules and watch the navigation and drive carefully. It is suggested to navigate directly to the "International Shopping Center", where there is always an underground parking space, 300 meters away from the first market.

Advantages: freedom.

Disadvantages: Need to park in the parking lot.

Attached below is a navigation map around the first market.

This is the navigation map around the first market. There are notes on bus, parking and taxi.

Seafood classification

The market has been chosen, but we need to know about seafood before buying it. In order to help you better understand seafood, we first classify seafood to help you remember it easily.

First of all, there are four main courses of seafood: fish, shrimp, crab and lobster.

Then there are shellfish suitable for steaming and snails suitable for boiling and frying.

Finally, there are boneless and other classes. A ***8 categories, I will introduce them one by one below.

When introducing seafood, the approximate price of the last month will be written for reference. Because typhoon weather will affect the price of seafood the next day, the price fluctuates occasionally, but there is little difference. In the next two months, when the overall price changes, I will come back to revise it, so you can collect this raiders or keep an eye on it.

The dry goods area is on the right of the entrance, the fruit area is on the main entrance, and the seafood area is on the right.

After entering the market, determine the position of the fair scale through the navigation chart, so as to go to the fair scale to re-scale when necessary.

This is a simple navigation map inside the first market, which standardizes the position of the door and the position of the fair scale.

NO. 1- lobster

There are three main kinds of lobsters in the first market, Boston lobster (Australian lobster), green lobster and flower lobster. Boston lobster is the best seller, and Bolong is about 1 kg, which can be bought at 100 yuan. It is suitable for main dishes and can be used for steaming or stir-frying. Green lobsters are generally a little smaller, weighing more than half a catty. But the shell is less and the meat is more, and the price is a little more expensive than Bolong, which is suitable for steaming; Flower dragons are generally more than two kilograms in size and are more expensive, which is suitable for friends who don't consider the price factor.

If you want to eat a bigger lobster, it is recommended to buy a two-to-three-pound Bolong, and the price is only around 300 yuan.

You can also buy a bologna about 1 kg. Recently, the price of lobster is low, so 90 yuan can handle it.

You can also buy an 8-pound small dragon and a half-pound green dragon, and the total price of the two is only about 150 yuan.

Lobsters weighing less than 1 kg are sold only. After negotiating the price, just pick a lively, slightly larger lobster.

The difference between Bolong and Qinglong mainly depends on whether there are big pliers.

Key points: the key point of picking lobster is to pick life and death. The way to judge it is to see that it is not moving, its vitality is slightly worse, and its meat quality will be slightly worse. The second is to look at the tail to judge that there is more meat and less meat, and more shells are less meat, and less shells are more meat.

PS: Some merchants in the market will call Bolong Australian lobster. It's just a marketing tool. Never mind, just know the Bolong you bought. Otherwise, when you go back to the mainland, you can tell your friends that Aolong 100 yuan in Sanya will only be considered as bragging, because Aolong is very expensive.

These two lobsters are about a catty, but the same shell is very big and deep, so there is less meat, and the other one is the opposite.

NO.2-Xia

The best-selling shrimp is metapenaeus ensis, also known as sea shrimp.

Simply put, it is the kind of shrimp that people often eat in their hometown or everywhere. This kind of shrimp is farmed around the seashore, so it is called metapenaeus ensis. But don't mistake farming for bad, because as long as it's not wild, it's all farmed. The chicken, duck and goose we eat every day are also farmed.

Metapenaeus ensis is suitable for boiled rice or stir-fried salt and pepper, and the price is affordable, which is about a catty in 30 yuan.

This is the common metapenaeus ensis, and some black parts of the head are called blackheads, which are actually the feed that has not been digested during breeding.

Then there are the more expensive spotted shrimp and bamboo shrimp. Compared with metapenaeus ensis, it will be bigger and the meat quality will be more elastic. The two kinds of shrimp are actually the same kind of shrimp, but one is for breeding and the other is for wild. The price of breeding is generally around 60 yuan, and that of wild animals is around 120 yuan.

Penaeus monodon is also called grass shrimp and grass shrimp. The head has two sharp corners, and it is black all over, which is for breeding.

The way to distinguish mainly depends on color, which is black for breeding and color for wild. Can be boiled, stir-fried, salt and pepper, and larger ones can also be steamed with garlic.

Slubby shrimp, also called flower shrimp, is similar in shape to spotted shrimp, but colorful in color, belonging to wild shrimp.

Tiger shrimp, also known as prawn, is very big, with big eyes and sharp head, which easily hurts hands.

There is also a tiger shrimp, also known as prawn. It's very big, about a catty in 200 yuan, which is suitable for steamed garlic.

Key points: Picking shrimps depends on life and death first, because there are dozens of shrimps in a catty, so it is impossible to pick only one. So all you have to do is stir it to see if there are any shrimps alive and kicking.

PS: It is very easy to accumulate a lot of seawater when weighing shrimp, so when weighing shrimp, you must break a hole in the bottom of the bag and filter it for a while.

Comparison between tiger shrimp head and fingers.

NO.3-Xie

Crab, the first to promote the four famous dishes in Hainan, Hele Crab. Hele crab is mainly produced in Hele Town, Wanning City. Although it is also produced in Guangdong, Fujian and other places, compared with this Hele crab produced in Xiaohai on the east coast of Hele Town, its grease and taste are much inferior.

Little Hele crab, full of cream.

There are many practices of Hele Crab, and I recommend two more practical practices.

One is to buy a small Hele crab, a small Hele crab in 2321, full of cream, and the price is one in 20 yuan. Buy three or four for stir-frying.

The other is to buy Dahele Crab, a 782, 80 yuan about a catty, and buy a mother's half cream, which can be stir-fried, steamed, or made into a paste crab vermicelli pot.

On the one hand, the reason for eating Hele Crab is its reputation as one of the four famous dishes in Hainan, and on the other hand, it has a lot of cream.

Little Hele crab, about four fingers wide.

In addition to Hele crab, you can also consider safflower crab and orchid crab. Red crab meat is fresh and tender, and orchid crab meat is sweet.

Orchid crab, blue flower pattern.

Red crab, red pattern.

The big one is suitable for steaming and the small one is suitable for stir-frying. The most important thing to buy flower crabs is to distinguish between water crabs and meat crabs. Gu Ming thinks that water crabs have more water and meat crabs have more meat. Distinguish skills and tell the merchant directly that I want meat crab. When the merchant helps you choose the meat crab, ask the merchant if you can pinch it. If he doesn't want you to pinch it, it means he's fooling you. Because the shell of water crab breaks when it is pinched, crabs are easy to die. The shell of the meat crab is hard and not afraid of being pinched. If the merchant really gives you the meat crab, it is not afraid of being pinched by you. (Pinch your stomach)

Treasure crab, crab is big and fleshy.

If you want to eat bigger crabs, you can consider rare crabs.

This kind of crab generally weighs two or three pounds, which can be stir-fried and steamed.

PS: Generally speaking, if you can buy a female crab, don't buy a male crab. The female crab is good. Below I will provide you with a method to distinguish the male crab from the female crab.

The difference between male and female crabs lies in the different shapes of bellies, so crabs are universal.

NO.4-fish

Grouper is the best choice.

At present, the price of grouper is very cheap, 35 yuan weighs a kilo, and the meat is tender and fleshy, and there are almost no small thorns except a main thorn.

Therefore, it is suggested to buy a grouper (1 kg is the best) for steaming or braising.

Grouper is a better choice.

In addition, you can also consider Duobao fish or Amphioxus, both of which are affordable marine fish.

40 yuan, a treasure fish, and 25 yuan, a golden fish.

Duobao fish can only be steamed, and Jinchang fish can be steamed and braised.

Treasure fish, moss-colored, thin.

If you want to eat better fish, you can consider Tsing Yi fish, or Red East Star Spot and Blue East Star Spot.

And these fish of more than 100 yuan a catty can only be steamed, not braised, otherwise it is a waste of ingredients.

East star spot can be divided into blue star spot and red star spot, and red star spot is more expensive.

NO.5-snails

Flower shell and sea white snail are both affordable,1not available in 0 yuan.

Flower armor, which can be eaten anywhere, is cheaper.

Sea white snail is also very cheap, suitable for melon and conch soup.

Mango snail, with beautiful grain, thin shell and full meat.

Mango snail is recommended here. Mango snail is a unique snail in Hainan and belongs to Hainan characteristics.

In addition, the shell of mango snail is very beautiful, with beautiful lines. Although it is not big, it is full of meat.

Small mango snails are about 20 kilos, and big mango snails are out of stock recently.

Snails with sandbags are big in size and big in meat.

In addition, you can also buy sandbags and stir-fry snails, and the chicken legs and snails are boiled.

These two kinds of snails are big, and the price is about 25.

The snail is also a good choice. The snail meat is hard, that is, it is chewy, and the price is around 60 yuan, so it can be stir-fried or boiled.

Snails can be stir-fried or boiled.

NO.6-shellfish

Scallops are very cheap, 89 per catty, steamed with garlic vermicelli.

Scallops are the most cost-effective shellfish, 10 yuan 1 kg, and there are eight or nine scallops per kg, which can be steamed with garlic and vermicelli.

Generally, there are 4 oysters 10 yuan, which can be steamed with garlic.

12 abalone, meaning 1 kg 12, nearly three fingers wide, one in 5 yuan.

Abalone, big and small. From 18 head, 15 head, 12 head, 10 head and 6 head, the head means that there are as many as 1 kg. So six heads are the biggest, and 18 heads are the smallest. Generally, there are 12 abalone and one in 5 yuan.

6 abalones, 6 per catty. Four fingers wide, big.

The scallop is a kind of shellfish with a lot of meat, 15 yuan.

It can be steamed with garlic vermicelli, and one band can be divided into two parts for two people to enjoy.

Round shells are very white, and they are also suitable for steaming garlic vermicelli. One small one is 1 Yuan Yuan.

PS: Scallops are very cheap shellfish, but you can't buy more, because the processing fee is one in 3 yuan, so it's good to buy a catty to eat.

If you buy three or four catties for cheap, you can only buy 30 yuan, but the processing fee will go to 100 yuan, then it will be very embarrassing.

There is a lot of meat in the belt, and one can be divided into two pieces to make steamed garlic vermicelli.

NO.7-boneless

There are mainly two kinds of boneless seafood in the first market, squid and octopus.

It's easier to buy octopus, just live and moving.

Squid, on the other hand, needs some skills, mainly to observe its color.

The white ones are fresh, the dark ones are red, and the dark ones are stale.

The practice is boiled, salted and fried.

This is a relatively fresh squid, which is relatively white.

This is a very stale abalone with a dark red color.

Looking at a row, the second one is the freshest and whitest.

NO.8-other classes

In addition to the above seven categories, there are still some common seafood that we have divided into other categories.

First of all, the little razor clam and the king razor clam, because the king razor clam has a lot of meat and the price is not expensive, which is around 35 yuan.

Therefore, it is recommended to buy the king of razor clam, which is suitable for stir-frying. The way to distinguish the vitality of the king of razor clam is to water it or touch the tender meat at the top with your hand.

The more you move, the better your vitality, and vice versa.

Bamboo razor blade, also known as razor blade king.

Then there are sea urchins, usually 15 yuan. Sea urchins in the north have more meat, so they can be sashimi. However, due to the different water quality, the sea urchin in the south has a thin meat wall.

Therefore, it is impossible to make sashimi, so there is only one way to steam eggs with sea urchins. Choose sea urchins, choose the one on the right with prickly thorns and long thorns, and the one on the left with bare thorns is stale.

The sea urchin on the left has been pierced out, which means it is not fresh, while the sea urchin on the right is fresh.

Elephant mussels are divided into meat mussels and water mussels. As can be seen from the picture below, meat mussels are white and tender, like baby's skin. Water mussels, on the other hand, are more like the skin of greasy middle-aged men. More importantly, there are three quarters of water in the water mussel, so there is little meat.

Therefore, there is one water mussel in 90 yuan, and three or four hundred and one meat mussel.

Buy water mussels and suggest sashimi, if you like sashimi.

Buying meat mussels can be stir-fried or sashimi, and their internal organs can be used to make porridge.

PS: If you buy a water mussel like a mussel and choose to stir fry it, you will not believe your eyes after frying it. When you buy it, it is so big as a mussel and stir fry it so little. This is precisely because water mussels have more water and less meat.

Seafood purchase process guide

We have introduced the common varieties of seafood one by one, and then let's set up a set of sorted seafood purchase processes.

1. You should be familiar with the seafood market. The first market * * * has five doors, and there is a dry goods area and a fruit area at the door. More importantly, there is a fair scale in the market, so the merchants in the market are afraid to tamper with the electronic scale, but they may tamper with it elsewhere.

2. Before entering the market, you should think about what seafood you want to buy. After entering the market, you can shop around, find your favorite seafood and compare the prices. The price I gave is just a reference, and the price you compared is the real price. Generally, there is no need to bargain for seafood below 50 yuan, because the profit is thin, and almost every family has the same price. Seafood from 50 yuan to 100 yuan can generally be bargained at 5- 10 yuan, while seafood above 100 yuan must be priced well, and then bargained at 10-20 yuan. If you don't compare the prices, it is of little significance to offer discounts to 20 yuan when the merchants call for high prices.

3. After picking a store that you think is impressive, ask him the specific price first. Then make it clear to him that you want them all alive, and you have to pick them one by one. If you die, you will come back to change them if you are found. If you are serious enough, he will not want to kill you, because it will be more difficult. Therefore, you must not act as if you don't understand, which is equivalent to telling the merchants to come and kill me.

After negotiating the price with the merchant, make sure that the weight, variety and vitality are all right. When weighing, show him that you know there is a fair scale in the market, and you will go to the fair scale to weigh it later, so please weigh it accurately and remember to peel it and set it at zero. When weighing, try to be naked, without bags. There are some situations where you have to use a belt, such as shrimp. It is necessary to use a dry bag without water, and there is a hole under the bag that leaks water. You need to keep an eye on it in the whole process. If you are serious, others will be afraid of you and dare not change seafood. PS: Make sure that the electronic scale is peeled and zeroed. Be sure to refuse to sell seafood merchants to help you kill seafood. His purpose is to give you a dead seafood and make you think it was killed. Be sure to buy live seafood and kill it at the processing shop.

Don't trust soliciting, because any discount they say may be routine, at least it may be.

Below, I will introduce you to several common routines.

Routine of some seafood merchants

Merchants are quick and quick, and they take the initiative to help you pick them. Generally, they are dead, have poor vitality, or have broken legs and feet.

Routine of scale

The names of merchants in the market are all good names and there is market supervision. But if you don't pay attention to it and weigh it directly without peeling it, it is likely to turn 2 kg into 2.5 kg. Not only that, the baskets used by some businesses are not easy to filter water, but also gain weight.

Routine of water bag

Some merchants will soak some thick bags in water in advance, so that the bags are covered with water, and then when you weigh them, the bags can cherish two or three liang. Therefore, dry bags are needed, and holes are needed to leak.

The routine of soliciting customers to send cards

1. Some people inside and outside the market will take the initiative to ask if you need to take you to buy seafood, or ask if you need to process it after you buy seafood. Generally, they will always follow you and brainwash you through soft grinding or giving you discounts. This behavior is called soliciting customers.

Generally speaking, these people can get 50% of the guest's processing fee after pulling them to a seafood shop.

3. They will send you a card saying that you can get a 50% discount and a 60% discount. However, if you look at the card carefully, there are many routines. For example, steaming oysters in 3 yuan/piece (Qing) means steaming in 3 yuan without any seasoning, adding garlic and 2 yuan, which is an implicit charge.

4. In order to ensure that some soliciting shops still keep profits after paying the soliciting share, there will be false high expenses, three or four hundred per capita, or stealing dead seafood.

5. All the above situations often appear and can be found on the Internet, but it doesn't mean that every soliciting shop will have such behavior, because some storefronts are husband and wife shops, and husbands cook in the shop and wives solicit customers in the market, which is also a conscience operation. Because the expenses are low, the price will be cheaper, but because they are self-employed, the taste and hygiene of the dishes are difficult to guarantee.

6. The most important thing to eat seafood is to eat live, delicious and hygienic seafood, so try to choose regular stores, and it is not recommended to lose the delicious seafood experience for the sake of greed.

Seafood processing

At this point, the classification of seafood varieties, the identification of seafood and the prevention of routines have been basically explained, which also reminds all friends not to believe in soliciting customers, otherwise they will regret it. If you pay attention to the news, from time to time, you will see the news that tourists have been tricked into being slaughtered.

The owner of a seafood restaurant told me that the problem of soliciting customers and slaughtering customers has been repeatedly banned because of the interests.

For soliciting girls, they can only earn 3000 yuan a month when they find a job, but on the road, they can get 50% of the processing fee when they pull a table, especially in the tourist season, and they can earn one or two thousand yuan a day.

For tourists, because they don't know seafood, they went there because they know more about it, and after being cheated, they felt that it was better to have more than one thing, and they would go home in two days, so they would go away.

For the government, there is no written law that can't solicit customers. Only when the tourist police get multiple sets of evidence to prove that they have cheated consumers can they be arrested and detained 15 days. It is not easy to get the evidence, so the government has never had an effective solution. Later, the government took the lead in setting up a seafood association, and let the urban management arrest the soliciting girls. However, after the arrest, the urban management only has the right to ask them to stand 1 hour. This is bound to be difficult to be effective compared with the huge kickback benefits.

Therefore, I am here to introduce seafood and explain the anti-slaughter routine, hoping to make my friends less fooled.

Therefore, it is recommended that you try to go to those stores with good reputation, otherwise the previous process of buying seafood will be in vain.

Here, I also recommend one.

Buzaike seafood

In fact, there are many good seafood shops I know, and I have not only eaten them together.

But only one is recommended here.

There are several reasons:

First of all, the name of this store is Buzaike, and the boss took this name with the homonym of not killing customers, so it is very consistent with our text.

The name is good, slogan has ambition and the business is also leveraged.

Secondly, although many stores have clearly marked their prices without killing customers, this store is the only one that broadcasts the kitchen directly, which I think is very important. This kind of kitchen will make you feel more at ease, and you don't have to worry about the hard-earned seafood being replaced.

Show the whole operation process of the kitchen directly at the door and be convinced.

Finally, this store is really good. There are many marathon medals hanging on the wall of the store. I personally like running marathons, so I have a good chat with my boss. These medals were all run by their team, and the founder ran 9 marathons himself. Then the service in the store is also great. From this little red flower posted on the wall, we can see that they attach great importance to whether they are sincere and enthusiastic and whether their customers are satisfied.

It's all marathon medals. I really admire it.

Interesting little red flower.

Then when it comes to products, although it is not particularly amazing, every dish is still well processed. Stir-fried lobster is made by Sichuan chef, and steamed sea bass is made by Guangdong chef, both of which are remarkable.

Finally, the most important thing is that the market in this store is very close, walking 100 meters. There is a coconut wind lane next to the market. The store is located at No.55, Coconut Wind Lane. It takes 2 minutes to walk in.

Sichuan-style Pipi shrimp with salt and pepper doesn't look spicy, but the meat inside is very tasty.

Steamed sea bass in Cantonese style.

Buzaike Seafood Processing (First Market Branch)

There is no luxurious decoration in the store, but it is the only seafood restaurant with marathon medals hanging on its walls. The TV in front of the store didn't broadcast the carefully filmed propaganda film, but it was the only seafood store that directly broadcasted the whole kitchen at the door. The waiters in the store don't have suits and ties, but if you feel sincerity and enthusiasm from them, you can stick the little red flowers on the wall on their hands or faces to show your affirmation. Therefore, both seafood and guests will be taken seriously here, which will be an indispensable punching point in your journey.

Send the Buddha to the west, and the good man will do it to the end.

Because many friends who have stayed in the first market will usually go to Yalong Bay for a few days.

So, they also have a branch in Yalong Bay, and I recommend it here.

I also went to eat at Yalong Bay Store, which is located in the central square of Yalong Bay. It is a square near the sea with beautiful scenery.

Eating seafood in the open air, the sky and the sea are within reach.

If some friends are too troublesome, they can also order their takeout directly from the US group takeout, which is very convenient. Just search for "Buzaike" for the US group takeout.

The whole Sanya should be able to deliver, which is very powerful.
