The price of hairy crabs in Dongguan, Guangdong has risen this year. People's desire to buy is not high.

When the autumn wind blows, the crabs are fat and beautiful. When visiting Houjie Hongqiao Market and Daming Tang Market, the reporter found that hairy crabs have been listed one after another.

Owner: the price of hairy crabs has gone up this year.

In the Houjie Hongqiao market, the reporter saw several stalls specializing in hairy crabs in the seafood area, all marked as "authentic Jiangsu hairy crabs." According to one of the hairy crab stall owners, these hairy crabs began to appear on the market before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the price has gone up, and sales are not satisfactory. On the one hand, a large number of hairy crabs died due to the high temperature in August. On the other hand, due to disasters such as floods in June and July, hairy crabs were washed away and the number of deaths increased, resulting in a decrease in total production, leading to higher prices.

"the overall price of hairy crabs has increased by 20% to 40% this year. Three-and two-weight hairy crabs cost 55 yuan per catty and four-double hairy crabs cost 75 yuan per catty. Now the hairy crabs on the market are not big and fat enough. Wait until the hairy crabs in the ninth lunar month are fat." the hairy crab stall owner said that at the same price, female hairy crabs are much smaller, but now it is time to eat female hairy crabs. Female hairy crabs have more ointment and will be more delicious.

Citizen: the desire to buy is not high.

As the price of hairy crabs has risen a lot this year, coupled with the fact that it has only been on the market for more than a week, there are few buyers and business is poor. "Last year, more than 200 jin of hairy crabs were sold during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but more than 40 jin of hairy crabs were sold this year." another hairy crab stall owner said helplessly.

During the reporter's interview with the hairy crab stall owner, several citizens came to buy hairy crabs. After learning that the price had risen a lot, they immediately had no desire to buy.

Crab selection skills the more red crab paste on both sides of the navel of hairy crab

A hairy crab stall owner in Hongqiao market told the reporter that to see if the hairy crab is fresh, we should first touch the hairy crab's eyes, then put it into the water to see if the hairy crab is foaming, and can also pull the last section of the crab's claws. If it is fresh, the crab's claws will bend automatically. In addition, to see whether the hairy crab is fat or not, it mainly depends on the crab body and buttocks. The thicker the crab body and buttocks are, the more meat there is. The hand can also press the crab leg, and the full-fleshed hairy crab will not have a sense of hollowness. There is also red on both sides of the navel of hairy crabs, and the redder the color, the more crab cream.
