CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How much can you eat from a pound of eel?

1. How much can you eat from one pound of eel?

One pound of eel can produce 250 grams of dried eel. For dried eel, one pound of fresh eel is only a few grams after drying, and it takes about 10 pounds to make one pound. However, dried eel is a very good ingredient. Soak it in advance, make braised eel, pour it with broth, or stew soup with dried eel. It is a good dish. The prices of different eel species are also different. For example, the price of red eel is cheaper than that of white eel. According to the market situation in Putian, the price of white eel is 50-60 yuan per catty, and the price of red eel is 35-40 yuan per catty. And if it is a fishing ban period, the price will be more expensive, because things are rare and expensive, this truth should be understood by everyone. Eels like to live in clean and unpolluted waters and are the purest aquatic creatures in the world. Eels grow in rivers on land, and migrate to the ocean to lay eggs when they mature. They only lay eggs once in their lifetime and die after laying eggs. The price of wild eels depends on the eel species and local market conditions. For example, if you catch ten kilograms of eels in coastal cities, you can sell them to big hotels for about 100-150 yuan per kilogram. A small wild eel can cost more than 70-100 yuan per kilogram. A wild eel weighing more than ten kilograms can be sold for 2,000-3,000 yuan.

2. How much does a garden eel cost?

Although many people like to cook eel rice, the market price of farmed and wild eels is different. So, how much does eel cost per pound? How much does wild eel cost per pound?

How much is eel per pound?

Eels in the market cost only 20 to 30 yuan per pound.

Wild eels only cost around 100 yuan per catty. The newspaper reported that eels from West Lake in Hangzhou were sold for 400 yuan per catty. The price there has also gone up.

How to distinguish wild eels

Eels are divided into several families such as conger eels and anguilla, with many species. There are more than 50 species of conger eels alone, and about 10 species of anguilla. Conger eels live in the sea and cannot survive in fresh water, while eels lay eggs in the sea. When the young mature, they return to live in freshwater rivers. The live eels on the market are mainly anguilla, because conger eels cannot be raised in fresh water, and the ones sold on the stalls are all dead. Anguilla, also known as white eel, has a slender body, a nearly cylindrical front part, and a flattened back part. The dorsal fin, anal fin, and caudal fin are connected. There are scales, but they are buried under the skin and are very small. You need a microscope to see them. There is a lot of mucus on the body. The upper part of the body is gray-black, the upper side edge is green, and the lower body is white. It is native to seawater and looks a bit like a snake.

Conger eels look much more ferocious than eels, and are darker in color than eels. They have strong teeth in their jaws, no scales, dark gray on the back, grayish white on the underside, and black edges on the dorsal and anal fins. Conger eels on the market are mainly wild, and even if they are farmed, they are mostly caught and kept temporarily. Because raising conger eels is very expensive, it is not cost-effective for farmers to keep them for a long time.

Conger eels are larger than eels. Eels generally weigh between 500 grams and 1,000 grams, while conger eels generally weigh more than 3 kilograms.

There are also wild eels, but the vast majority of those sold on the market are farmed, and there are very few wild ones.

3. I want to trade seafood. What are the prices in different places?

As people's quality of life continues to improve, their high demands on food are also growing. People are no longer satisfied with the "quantity of meat" but care more about the "quality of fish". Seafood has gradually become a common dish for residents, and seafood and other aquatic products are replacing meat to a large extent. Therefore, it has become fashionable for people to choose seafood as their first choice during the New Year and other festivals.

As the Spring Festival approaches, seafood markets in some cities across the country are particularly busy. The prices of seafood across the country have risen at the end of the year. However, the varieties vary from place to place, and the price increases are also different.

Qingdao (Shandong Province): 300 tons of frozen seafood will be put on the market during the Spring Festival. It is understood that except for some sea-caught seafood, the prices of most seafood will remain stable during the festival. The seafood stored in the cold storage was purchased around the Mid-Autumn Festival last year. This year, the frozen seafood reserves are sufficient and low in price. The purchase happened to be at the low point of the market price. For example, hairtail and Spanish mackerel are about 5% cheaper than last year.

Nanjing (Jiangsu Province): Shrimp are in short supply and are most expensive on New Year's Eve. An experienced person in the seafood market analyzed: Shrimp are currently 65 yuan per catty. In the past week, 600-700 tons of shrimp were sold a day, and the sensitive price of 90 yuan per catty has not yet been reached. Shrimp shipped by air from the south will inevitably usher in an upward trend after February 7 (Wednesday). The main reason is that hotels and restaurants are preparing stocks in advance and buying more every day as the Spring Festival is approaching. On February 17, New Year's Eve, business owners living in Zhejiang only sell goods for half a day and go home for the New Year. In addition, the supply is short, so it is possible to sell one catty for more than 90 yuan. On the first and second days of the New Year, although some business owners do not go home for the New Year, the increase in operating costs will cause the price of temporary replenishment to rise to 100 yuan per catty. The situation will not improve until after the third day of the New Year. Fortunately, the prices of crucian carp and black carp will not change much. The latter is the first choice for citizens to make smoked fish, and the current price is 9-10 yuan per catty. Silver carp, especially bighead carp, whose name sounds like "niannianyouyu" (abundance every year), is very popular during the New Year's Eve period.

Beijing: The current sales situation in the Beijing aquatic product market is relatively calm, which is a bit abnormal compared with previous years. The price of freshwater fish is still rising steadily, and the prices of some seafood except turbot have also risen. The highest price of mud shrimp was 100 yuan/jin some time ago, but now the price is about 115 yuan/jin; the overall price of freshwater fish has also risen, but the increase is not too large, averaging between 2-3 cents, and the price of some varieties has even dropped slightly. For example, the price of carp was 3.2 yuan/jin some time ago, but now it has risen to 3.4 yuan/jin; the price of silver carp (1 kg left section) was 2 yuan/jin, but now it has risen to 2.1 yuan/jin; the price of bighead carp was 6 yuan/jin yesterday, and now it has dropped to 4.5-4.7 yuan/jin.

Linyi (Shandong Province): Freshwater fish market sales are booming, prices of major aquatic products such as carp and crucian carp remain stable, and prices of famous and high-quality aquatic products such as loach and turtle have slightly increased. It is understood that the current price of carp in the wholesale market is 6.8 yuan/kg, and the retail price is 8.0 yuan/kg; the wholesale price of crucian carp (over 250 grams) is 8.8 yuan/kg, and the retail price is 10.0 yuan/kg, which is basically the same as last month; the wholesale price of silver carp (over 2.5 kg) is 9.0 yuan/kg, and the retail price is 10.0 yuan/kg, which is 8.1% and 9.5% higher than last month respectively; the prices of silver carp, grass carp, and bighead carp are 4.4 yuan/kg, 8.8 yuan/kg, and 10.0 yuan/kg, respectively, which are slightly higher than last month, but the increase is not large. In the market of high-quality aquatic products, the prices of loach and soft-shelled turtle (over 1 kg) have risen significantly, while the prices of snakehead fish, mandarin fish, and catfish have remained stable. The current market price of loach is as high as 30.0 yuan/kg.

Fuzhou (Fujian Province): Due to the surge in demand, the prices of shrimps and aquatic products have generally risen by more than 50%; the price of soft-shelled turtles has also risen by 50% compared with the same period last year. In early last month, the prices of nine-segmented shrimps, prawns, mantis shrimps, and red-cream mantis shrimps were about 80 yuan, 18-20 yuan, 12 yuan, and 15 yuan per 500 grams, respectively. At present, they have risen to 128 yuan/500 grams, 23.8 yuan/500 grams, 15.8 yuan/500 grams, and 24 yuan/500 grams, respectively. The price of shrimps has generally risen by more than 50%. The price of soft-shelled turtles has risen by about 50%. Last year, the wholesale price of soft-shelled turtles with a size of 400 grams was about 13-15 yuan/500 grams. This year, the price of soft-shelled turtles of this size has risen to 23-24 yuan/500 grams.

Harbin (Heilongjiang Province): The demand for "frozen goods" this year is greater than in previous years. Frozen knife fish and frozen shrimp are popular among citizens. This year's seafood market also presents another feature, that is, there are many more varieties of crabs. In addition to the Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs that the people are familiar with, river crabs from Jiangsu, winter crabs and flower crabs from Qingdao, spider crabs from North Korea, prince crabs, emperor crabs, and bread crabs from Canada have also settled in Hada. And citizens don't have to worry about the high prices, because the prices of varieties such as river crabs and spider crabs are tens of yuan per kilogram, and the seafood on the people's tables has also begun to join in the fun. At present, the daily arrival of seafood is about 50,000 kilograms, and the price has also dropped by 15%-20% compared with the same period last year. With the Spring Festival approaching, citizens can buy the seafood products you need.

Shaoxing (Zhejiang Province): At the end of last year, farmed soft-shelled turtles were 50 yuan per kilogram, but now they are 70 yuan per kilogram. If they are wild soft-shelled turtles, the market price is generally between 120 yuan and 300 yuan per kilogram. At the Keqiao branch of the Supply and Marketing Supermarket, the price of a 4-year-old soft-shelled turtle is 140 yuan per kilogram, and the price of a 5-year-old soft-shelled turtle is 186 yuan per kilogram.

Hefei (Anhui Province): Last year, the production of crabs in Chaohu, Ma'anshan, Wuwei and other places, the main crab production areas in Anhui, increased sharply. As a result, the total amount of crabs on the market in the entire Hefei market was more than in previous years, an increase of 3% to 5% over previous years. So far, the highest price of crabs is also lower than last year. A 150-gram male and female crab used to sell for 60 yuan per 500 grams, but the recent price is only around 45 yuan. After New Year's Day, the size of crabs has become smaller, but now citizens can still spend less money to enjoy delicious crabs. At present, the market price of male crabs weighing about 150 grams is only 25-26 yuan per 500 grams, and female crabs are only 43-45 yuan, which is nearly 10 yuan cheaper than in October last year.

Guiyang (Guizhou Province): As the Spring Festival approaches, seafood prices have risen sharply. The retail price of mud shrimp has doubled, from 40 yuan per catty some time ago to 78 yuan. The retail price of flower crabs has also reached 20 yuan, an increase of about 6 yuan; but the largest increase is still in swimming crabs, which have increased from 40 yuan per catty to 60 yuan. Compared with shrimp and crab seafood, shellfish and marine fish have not increased much. Red shell snails have increased from 5 yuan per catty to 6 yuan, and the price increase of general marine fish has only fluctuated within 20%. Among all seafood, only the price of yellow croaker has dropped from 17 yuan per catty to 15 yuan.

The most obvious increase is in pomfret, which has increased by more than 10 yuan per catty in less than a week.

The Jiangdong Aquatic Products Market has stored 6,000 tons of various aquatic products such as eels, cuttlefish, pomfret, and shrimp, which can be supplied to the market at any time during the Spring Festival. The best red-cream white crabs are now sold at 140-150 yuan per kilogram, while the highest price last year was only 140 yuan.

The above is the seafood situation in some cities across the country. From south to north, the general situation is basically the same: the supply is sufficient, the price has risen slightly on a stable basis, and the price of some high-end seafood has maintained a high upward trend. This is due to the recent general rise in prices and is also a regular and normal phenomenon of holiday consumption.

I think it depends on where you want to do it. The transportation cost of seafood is also relatively high.

In addition, what is the demand for seafood in your area? The seafood varieties and advantages of each place are different. See what people's consumption habits are like.

You can also find the nearest seafood production area. I guess the price of seafood is mostly seasonal, so it is not very accurate.

The above is my own idea, I don't know if it is reliable, just for reference

I'm telling you the truth, I hope you don't mind, those are dry goods~~ they are not sold in the seafood market~~~

Sai Ying Pun is the trading center of all kinds of seafood and also the processing center. It is basically concentrated on the section of Des Voeux Road West between Queen Street and Main Street.

Therefore, there are many seafood shops in the areas of Wing Lok Street, Des Voeux Road West, Connaught Road West and Queen's Road West in Sheung Wan.

There are shark fins, dried abalone, sea cucumbers, scallops, fish maws, squid, oyster drums, mushrooms and other dried seafood~~~

Here are a few that I frequent:

Decheng Seafood

Address: 94 Des Voeux Road West, Sai Wan

Youli Seafood

Address: 60 Des Voeux Road West, Sai Wan

An Tai Bird's Nest Co., Ltd.

Address: G/F., 139-143 Wing Lok Street, Sheung Wan

It's hard to do seafood business. I have to go to the wholesale market at two or three in the morning. The smell is terrible. If you like seafood so much, it would be great to open a seafood hotel.

The price here is relatively cheap. I wonder what kind of seafood you want?
