India is an ancient country. Many people may think that India is poor and backward and lacks resources. But in fact, India is the world's second largest producer of fishery resources. Seafood not only has a wide range of types, but the output is abundant, and the price is also very cheap. However, a traveling friend saw a kind of prawn in India. It is said that it has become a disaster in the local area, but foreign tourists basically don’t like to eat it. Why is this?

The scientific name of this kind of prawn is "shrimp lobster", but people prefer to call it "slipper lobster". Because from the appearance, it looks like the slippers we wear, and its outer shell is very hard. "Slipper shrimp" is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical sea areas of the Pacific east of India. In terms of taste, it is not much different from ordinary lobsters. The meat is delicious. However, except for locals in India, foreign tourists are all interested in "slipper shrimp". Not interested.

Obviously the slipper shrimps are huge and delicious, but why don’t foreign tourists pay for them? Travel friends learned that the price of slipper shrimp in India is very cheap, but its shell is too hard. If the kitchen knife is not hard enough, you can't open the slipper shrimp even if you cut it off with the kitchen knife. After all the hard work, I found that there was very little meat inside, including the shrimp feet.

Another very important point is that water pollution in India is particularly serious. These overflowing slipper shrimps survive and grow in various rivers in India. Many locals ignore the environment in which they grow and directly catch them for sale. As for the Ganges River, everyone knows how dirty its water source is, but Indians don't take it seriously and even drink the Ganges water directly.

Because they are difficult to handle and have little meat, Indians gradually do not like to eat this kind of "slipper shrimp". After all, there are many other seafood in India, but also because of this, the slipper lobster is further enhanced. degree of flooding. The proliferation of slipper shrimps has destroyed the local ecological environment, so many Indians have asked Chinese foodies to help, but travel friends said: "Let's forget it." ?

Although the price of slipper lobster is cheap, who would be willing to spend that money to buy something that has little meat and may be contaminated? With this kind of money, why not just buy a few crayfish in China? What do you think of this? If you were asked to spend money to buy slipper shrimp, would you give it a try?
