CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to sell oysters in seafood market

1. How are oysters sold in seafood markets?

Oh, there are generally two ways to sell them, one is raw oyster meat, the other is oysters in shells. The ones in shells are naturally cheaper. If you want to roast oysters, of course you should buy them in shells. It is best to ask the vendor with tools to help you open half of the shell, and put the other half of the shell with meat directly in the oven to roast. You may add some prepared seasonings while roasting. The price of oysters in shells in Beijing is about 6-7 yuan now. (Another tip: buy roasted scallop snails, which are also very delicious, only 6 yuan each)

Haha, this question is too simple. Let me answer you. There are generally two prices for Beijing oysters, one in the north and one in the south. The price in the north is about 2.5 to 3 yuan per catty. The price in the south is about 3.5 to 4 yuan per catty. If you buy it in Shandong, it is even cheaper, 1 to 1.5 yuan per catty.

Oysters in China are all sold by kilogram. Oysters in Weihai cost 7 yuan per 500 grams.

I don't know about Beijing, but the best oysters are those that are freshly picked (take the meat from the shell)

Oysters are called sea oysters in Qingdao. They are very cheap. During the harvest season, you can buy a lot of them for 10 yuan. They are not very valuable.

Oysters have different prices for big and small ones. If they are for barbecue, one pound costs about 4 yuan.

2. How much is an oyster?

The market price of oysters changes very quickly. This year's oyster market is unstable. For example, the price of three yuan per pound makes many oyster farmers unable to afford it. Many oyster farmers even say they cannot afford to keep the market at this price.

Usually in the market, it is rare to sell oysters by the pound, usually they are sold one by one. At this time, the price of oysters in the market ranges from one yuan to two yuan. If you want to eat them, you can still afford them. In addition to price fluctuations, the size of oysters varies. Some large oysters may weigh several kilograms. The larger the size, the less you can buy them at the market price, because large oysters are very delicious. Sometimes a large one may sell for seven or eight yuan, or ten yuan each, but that's just one. Under normal circumstances, the oysters bought in the market are half the length of a palm, and one or two yuan each is reasonable. The oysters sold at the food stalls are also two or three yuan each, but they are not very big.

Oysters are delicious. Many people say they taste good after eating them. They can also be used to make soups and barbecues. Different cooking methods have different flavors. These are very popular items at night markets.

Due to the epidemic this year, oysters were not easy to sell at the beginning of the year. In previous years, many farmers could make a lot of money, but this year, due to the epidemic, the cost of living has dropped a lot, almost to the cost price. Excluding labor and transportation costs, the money earned is also hard work. So the price of oysters this year is very affordable, a few yuan per catty, one or two yuan per piece, which is relatively normal. Of course, this price is the price of coastal cities, and there are certain differences in each place, and the price is also different.

In recent years, with the improvement of living standards and convenient transportation, oysters are sold in many cities, and oysters have become a delicacy on many people's plates. As the market grows, the consumption of oysters will also increase, and the price of oysters in the future may not be the same as this year.

Compared with other seafood, oysters are inexpensive and affordable. Unlike shrimps and sea fish, one pound costs dozens of yuan. Of course, if the oyster meat is inside the oyster shell, the price is also nearly dozens of yuan per pound.

There are several types of oysters. One type is sold by the piece, another type is sold by the dozen (a dozen has 12 pieces); another type is sold by the kilogram of oyster meat; the oysters that you usually eat in high-end Western restaurants are sold by the piece, about 15 yuan per piece (live Icelandic oysters); another type is sold in buffets, half-shell oysters, about 6 yuan per piece, and the oyster meat is usually Zhanjiang oyster meat, which is the most affordable but the quality is not very good, about 16 yuan per kilogram

About 3-5 yuan per pound. There are about five large oysters in one pound, and about eight small ones. The general market price of oysters is 8-10 yuan each.

Due to the different origins and varieties of oysters, the price of oysters can vary greatly. The prices in many seafood markets are also different. Some oysters are sold by pound, and some are sold by piece. Generally, the most common ones cost 15-20 yuan per pound. The small oysters or scallops sold in barbecue restaurants are basically 10 yuan for 3 pieces. That is more than 3 yuan each.
