Three Tips For Buying Seafood
Seafood is not only nutritious, but also delicious. It has gradually become people's favorite food. However, according to statistics, food poisoning in daily diet is the most common. Therefore, when buying seafood, you must "move your eyes, hands and nose" and be careful.
See with your eyes: take a closer look at the fish eyes. The eyes are transparent and turbid, indicating high freshness. Secondly, see whether the fish gills are close, not easy to fall off, and whether the fish surface is shiny. The shrimp shell should be close to the shrimp meat. If it is easy to peel off, it means it is not fresh. And the shrimp body should be complete, elastic, shiny and bright. The shell color of crab and shellfish should be shiny, and the body hardware should be elastic. Squid and octopus should have smooth skin, curved claws and clear markings.
Touch with your hand: press the seafood meat with your hand. If the meat is solid and elastic, it won't sink deeply, which means it's fresh. Then touch the meat surface to see if there is mucus. No mucus indicates high freshness.
Smell with your nose: smell it with your nose. If it's a burst of seafood, it means it's very fresh. On the contrary, if there is a smell of smell and corruption, you should avoid buying.
