The frozen hairtail fish sold in many supermarkets is much cheaper than the whole hairtail fish. If you just look at the surface. There should be no difference in quality. The hairtail itself is very long. During the salvage process, the surface of the hairtail may have been damaged or the entire hairtail may have been cut directly in the middle. People are unwilling to buy hairtails that look bad, and will only choose hairtails that are whole and intact. Therefore, judging from the appearance, shoppers will give priority to whole hairtail fish.

In order to sell the damaged hairtail, supermarkets have to cut the hairtail into segments, and the price is cheaper than the whole hairtail. This can promote the sales of segmented hairtail and ensure the freshness of the segmented hairtail. feel.

The hairtail in supermarkets, whether in segments or whole, is all frozen. If the hairtail segments are frozen, the original hairtail segments weighing less than one pound will weigh one pound if put on ice. In this case, the profit of the supermarket is very obvious. The profit of a whole hairtail is not as much as that of a segmented hairtail, which is almost the actual weight. So this situation may also be the reason why hairtail fish in segments is cheaper than whole hairtail fish.

It is also possible that the quality of frozen hairtail fish in segments is not as fresh as that of whole hairtail fish. The seafood sold in supermarkets is purchased on the same day, especially seafood. Supermarkets hold promotions every day and night in order to sell all the goods for the day. If there is a backlog, it will seriously affect the liquidity of the goods, and the quality of the goods will not be as fresh, which will affect subsequent sales. Take hairtail for example. The fresh hairtail was not sold out on the first day. The supermarket could only do promotional activities and cut the hairtail into sections and freeze them for easy sale next time.

The taste of frozen hairtail may not be as good as that of unfrozen ones, but the quality is still guaranteed because supermarkets will not put out bad items.
