The expensive products are made of squid, and the cheap products are not squid products, but minced fish products, which is the same as that some products on the market are called beef balls and shrimp balls without beef and shrimp. Artificial squid flowers may be synthesized with additives such as gelatin and starch.
The real squid flower is generally "checked" on a complete squid, and the squid flower is still a whole. Cheap squid flowers only have a narrow vein in the middle, and the surrounding small pieces are independent. There is no seafood in the real thing, but seafood flavoring agents with different prices are added, and labeling raw seafood products is just a concept hype for some merchants to attract consumers' attention.
Brief introduction of squid flowers
Squid flowers are cut into squid by flower knife technology. Squid, also known as soft fish and squid, is an eye-opening suborder of Cephalopoda of Mollusca. The body is conical, pale and with light brown spots. Squid has a big head, a 10 touch foot in front, and a triangular fleshy fin at the end, and often swims in groups in the ocean about 20 meters deep.
The real squid flowers are a whole, and the meat pieces are not particularly large and close to the inner wall. Cheap fake squid flowers only have a narrow vein in the middle, and the surrounding small pieces are independent.
Imitation fake squid flowers are pure white. Because squid contains a natural pigment, the real squid flower is slightly yellow. After the real squid flower is thawed, the meat quality is elastic, while the imitation squid flower is less elastic. When you pinch it with your hands, it turns into pieces.
