If you want to eat delicious Pippi shrimp, you should not only choose the right season, but also choose:
1, look
First of all, see if the shrimp is alive, and live shrimp can ensure freshness; If the fresh dead shrimp looks translucent, it will not change, but the dead shrimp looks pale and dull, indicating that it has begun to deteriorate and is not suitable for purchase.
Step 2: a small amount
Hold the shrimp (be careful not to be stabbed or hit by its jaw). Hard and elastic means that the meat is plump, and soft kneading means that the meat is loose and there is not much cooked meat. Shrimp Pipi, which is usually raised temporarily by adding oxygen to sea crystal, is alive, but because there is no food, it consumes a lot and has less meat. Shrimp that has just molted will also consume a lot of nutrients before molting, which will be empty.
Step 3 smell
In the process of temporary culture, some Pipi shrimps are easy to be mixed with diesel oil in the water, so when buying Pipi shrimps, if there is diesel oil smell, smell it. If you can ask, it means that this kind of Pipi shrimp will also have a strong diesel smell, so don't buy it.
4. Male and female
If you want to eat yellow-fleshed Pipi shrimp in spring, you must choose the mother shrimp. As shown in the figure:
The red tip refers to the male-specific rod connector. On the inside of the base of the last pair of feet in the chest, there is such a "calf", which is male; The white "Wang"-shaped glial glands in the green circle are the characteristics of females in reproductive period, which appear on the ventral surface of the 6 ~ 8 thoracic segments. This kind of shrimp, if the green tip is yellow, or the dark zone running through the shrimp can be seen by light, is yellow and can be purchased.
