Entering China140 yuan/kg! Early Listing! Some Taizhou people have already eaten it
“So many stores have started selling crayfish, and it seems that crayfish are coming on quite early this year.” Last Saturday, when Zhu Pingping, a native of Jiaojiang, ordered takeout at home, she unexpectedly found that there were several more crayfish restaurants on the homepage of the platform, and some barbecue restaurants launched crayfish.
The Taizhou Evening News reporter also paid attention to the fact that although it is still warm and cold now, the crayfish has already “rushed” to appear. Is crayfish expensive nowadays? Fat or not…… With a bunch of questions, on March 3, the reporter visited farmers’ markets, supermarkets and other places.
A pound can easily cost forty or fifty yuan
The price is a bit “hot”
At noon on the 3rd, the reporter found crayfish in the aquatic product area of the Jiaojiang Central Farmers’ Market. In this market, there is only one stall selling crayfish, and the crayfish are all in a tank. According to the owner of the stall, at present, only crayfish of medium and green specifications are on sale, 50 yuan a catty.
In the Century Lianhua Shifu Avenue store, crayfish have also “appeared”, with a specification of “Zhongqing” between 4 and 6 yuan, with a retail price of 45.8 yuan a catty. “Crayfish has been on the market for almost half a month. Due to the recent launch of the market, crayfish prices are still at a high level. Li Jie, director of the fresh food department of Century Lianhua City Mansion Avenue Store, revealed that the purchase price of crayfish was nearly 40 yuan a catty.
The reporter learned that with the development of breeding technology and the superposition of weather factors, the crayfish produced in Sichuan, Chongqing and other places in the past two years have been listed early, and they have “appeared” in the first month. In the early days of the market, the quantity of crayfish was small and the price was high. The more common ones are “Xiaoqing” and “Zhongqing”, and the current retail price is mostly between 30 yuan and 50 yuan per catty. The “big greens” that are on the large side and weigh 7 to 9 yuan each have to be sold for 60 or 70 yuan a catty.
According to the visit, crayfish are “worth a lot”, and consumers’ willingness to buy is generally not strong, and many merchants only sell a small amount, and there are many options to wait.
“It’s expensive, and there aren’t many consumers. The best sales on weekends are sold two or three catties a day. Li Jie told reporters that the supermarket does not buy much.
“Boss, do you have crayfish for sale?” In the Hongjia vegetable market in Jiaojiang, Boss Li, an aquatic product vendor, told reporters that he had not yet started selling crayfish, the main price was expensive, and the meat quality was not full enough, “not cost-effective.” If it can’t be sold, the loss will be large. ”
Another month
Crayfish are cheaper
The crayfish went on the market vigorously and also “climbed” into the restaurant. A few days ago, the reporter visited and noticed that on Kangping Road, the “food street” in the hearts of many foodies, many restaurants sold crayfish.
In addition, there are some restaurants in downtown Taizhou that are ready to open their doors to welcome customers. On the 3rd, when the reporter contacted Zhang Wang, the person in charge of the shrimp and crab edge (Square West Road store), he told the reporter that the store was already cleaning and would open on the 5th. In the past few days, he has been busy collecting crayfish, “The lobsters sold in our store are large, generally ‘big green’ and ‘cannon heads’ with more than one or two specifications.” At present, crayfish are not long on the market, and ‘cannon heads’ are still relatively scarce. ”
When will crayfish be available in large quantities? In this regard, some merchants expect that, according to previous years, they will have to wait another month. At that time, a large number of crayfish will be listed all over the country, and the price will drop sharply, and the cost performance will be higher.
After the local crayfish are launched in batches, the public will also have more choices. A crayfish farmer in Wenling told reporters that the price of early crayfish seedlings this year is high, 30 yuan a pound in previous years, and now it is sold to 40 yuan a catty, so he did not invest in early seedlings, so the first batch of crayfish in the breeding pond out of the pond is delayed compared with previous years, and it has to wait until April.
For restaurants, the peak season of crayfish consumption will have to be postponed for a while. “When it’s a little hotter, the crayfish business will be better. Generally in May and June, the demand for crayfish consumption is stronger. Some merchants told reporters that the “price war” will also be quite fierce at that time, but consumers need to carefully identify low-priced crayfish, “may be mixed with frozen shrimp and dead shrimp.” ”
