Nine-section shrimp breeding base is in the south of Fujian. Nine-node shrimp is one of the favorite seafood in Guangdong because of its deep and shallow horizontal lines and obvious nine-node white patterns after cooking. Nine-node shrimp is rich in nutrition, soft meat, easy to digest, rich in magnesium, crisp and sweet, and the largest can grow to two or more.

The best way to cook the nine-node shrimp is to boil it in boiling water, and then dip it in the sauce to eat it, which will bring out the sweetness and crispness of the shrimp meat. Most of the nine-node shrimp are wild, and there is little artificial cultivation. In addition, the output in the current season is not much, so the price of this shrimp is relatively expensive.

The wild nine-jointed shrimps are deep red in pattern, while the reared ones are much lighter in color. In addition, they are divided into salt water seafood and light seafood. The salt water tastes fresh and sweet but the meat is thicker, while the fresh water river tastes fresh and smooth.
