How much is a pound of shrimp?

The price of different shrimps is different. Generally, the amount of knife is about one catty of 35 yuan shrimp and almost one catty of crayfish. The wholesale price of lobster market is about one catty from 200 yuan to 400 yuan, and the hotel sales price is about 600 yuan 1000 yuan.

The price of prawn varies greatly with season, place of origin, market and quality. It is generally 20-50 kg in the place of origin, and it can reach 50- 100 yuan in the market with more consumers. When it changes frequently, it can be said that it is "one price a day". The reason why the shrimp with a knife amount is generally expensive is that the breeding cost is relatively high, which pushes up the sales price of the shrimp with a knife amount.

When a large number of crayfish are not on the market, the price at this time is generally around 50~60 yuan kilo, but after the market, the price will be relatively low, about 30~45 yuan kilo due to the loss of freshness caused by transportation. In the night market and other barbecue stalls, the price is generally 60-60 kg in 70 yuan. Of course, crayfish in high-end hotels may be more expensive, even hundreds of yuan.

Selection method of big lobster

1, pay attention to regional differences. To make high-quality lobster dishes, you must choose lobsters in the central waters of Hongze Lake. The lobster here is big, the meat is elastic, and the smell is small. The cooked lobster is easy to retain the umami flavor of shrimp meat.

2. When selecting lobsters, focus on live lobsters, and then further observe the amount of meat and whether the meat is delicious. Lobster has a uniform head and body, a thin and smooth shell, a large body, lively movements and a close gap between the head and trunk, which is the top grade.

3. Pay attention to the freshness of lobster. Although it has strong vitality, it is difficult to transport and easy to die. It belongs to high-protein food such as eel and crab. Once dead, it is easy to deteriorate. Even if the cooking technique is brilliant, the shrimp meat will be loose, dry and unpalatable, and the dead lobster is absolutely unacceptable.
