In what month will Portunus Zhoushan go on the market?

1. When will Zhoushan Portunus Crab go on the market?

Swimming crabs produced in Zhoushan area are generally caught and listed around August every year. If you want to eat the best swimming crab, I suggest you buy it from the end of August to the beginning of September. At this time, the maturity of Portunus is very high, and the price gradually tends to be stable. Generally, Portunus begins to breed in May every year, and gradually matures after about 3-4 months. Every August, Portunus trituberculatus, whether male or female, is very delicate and full of meat. For people who like swimming crabs, late summer and early autumn are the best time.

Second, how to choose Portunus?

1. Pinch the crab shell

When you choose a swimming crab, you should first touch the crab shell with your hands. Generally speaking, if we find that a large amount of water is easy to appear in the shell of crabs, it proves that crabs are only rich in water, not meat and beauty. If you encounter such a situation, you are not recommended to buy it.

Pinch the crab's feet

In addition to squeezing crab shells, you should also pinch crab feet. If you can feel the muscle contraction when the crab's feet move, generally speaking, the meat quality of crabs is very tender and elastic, so all crabs can be counted, and they are all made of better quality crabs, and the taste must be the best.

The listing time of Portunus Zhoushan is basically around mid-August every year, but the specific time should be further decided according to the weather and environmental changes of that year. If you encounter some irresistible environmental changes, the time to market may be delayed by about half a month, so if you want to eat fresh Portunus, you must hurry.
