What should I pay attention to when buying seafood?

How to save money by buying seafood in the New Year?

The closer we get to the Chinese New Year, the more expensive it is to buy seafood in the seafood market. The price of seafood is rising in a straight line every day, especially in the days near the Chinese New Year. At this time, the owners of seafood stalls usually give a price and will not bargain with you, because they know that there are many people who come to buy seafood today, and they will even be rushed to buy it. After all, everyone wants to buy seafood for the New Year, not only ordinary people, but also big hotels and restaurants.

1. Try to buy seafood in the morning, because seafood is freshest at this time.

2. Shop around, compare more, ask more prices, and know fairly well. After all, what you buy is never as smart as what you sell. Before you buy, you will know the basic price and quality in your heart.

Many people are worried about being cheated by the seafood stall owner, especially when the goods are not the right version. 1 kg seafood weighs 3 kg. In addition to re-measuring (considering that the calibration has taken so long, it may be inaccurate), you might as well prepare a bottle of 500 ml water and put it directly in his scale to know that the calibration is inaccurate.

4. Let go of shyness, ask more questions boldly and bargain.

When you go to the seafood market, you will find that some stalls specialize in selling one kind of seafood, while others sell everything. Booths specializing in one kind of products are relatively more professional, because the equipment for pickling seafood is specially designed for this kind of seafood, and the seafood bought here is also fresher.

6. If you don't buy many shellfish such as conch and razor clam in little seafood, see which one is fresh, complete in variety and reasonable in price. Try to buy at the same booth to facilitate unified bargaining, and the boss will give some discounts accordingly.
