CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to buy the freshest oysters and what should you pay attention to when choosing oysters?

How to choose fresh and plump oysters? Oysters are sold by the pound in the market, 5 yuan per pound, about 4-6 pieces. You can buy 1.5 pounds of oysters for the price of a grilled oyster outside! Therefore, it is not cost-effective to eat oysters at night market stalls!

Friends who love to eat oysters, please note that when choosing oysters, remember these 3 points to ensure that they are fresh and plump! When you buy oysters, you should see that they are piled together. Generally, the boss will let you pick them yourself. Many friends don’t know what kind to pick, so they just pick them randomly without choosing. If the oysters you buy back home are not plump and not fresh, then you will lose a lot! In fact, it is very simple to choose oysters. Just remember these three tips taught by the old fisherman to ensure that the oysters you choose are fresh and plump! When the seafood boss sees that you are so knowledgeable, Yunhe will also help you pick the fat ones. The first point to choose oysters: don’t buy those that are open. Although oysters can survive for two days out of seawater, there are still some that are not fresh at the seafood stalls. Please note that open oysters are dead. When you choose oysters, don’t choose open ones. Such dead oysters have greatly reduced taste and nutritional value!

The second point of choosing oysters: When choosing oysters, choose those with rounder shells. The meat inside the long and thin oysters is not as fat as the round and plump oysters. When choosing, remember to choose oysters with rounder and thicker shells.

Point 3: When choosing oysters, choose one with a bulging shell. Just like durian, a bulging shell indicates that the meat is big. The same is true for oysters. If the shell is bulging, it indicates that the oyster meat inside is fatter. Keep these 3 points in mind when buying oysters. The oysters you buy will be fresh and plump. There will be no dead or stale ones. You can buy one at the night market for 7 yuan, and buy fresh ones for 10 yuan, which can buy 2-3 kilograms. After buying the oysters, clean the shells and put them on the oven to roast. If the shells are opened, it means they are cooked. If the meat is slowly shrinking and getting smaller and smaller, it means it is overcooked.

First of all, don't choose oysters that are closed, because they may be dead. Look for oysters whose shells move and open to breathe, which are the freshest.

The best way is to wait for the fishing boats to land at the seaside and then buy the freshest oysters directly. When choosing oysters, you need to pay attention to whether the seams of the oysters are tight. You should choose oysters with deep shells and thick skin.

The season when oysters are at their plumpest is from October to May of the following year.

When choosing oysters, you should be careful. If you want to buy plump oysters, choose plump ones. Oysters that open their mouths are not necessarily dead. They may be lacking oxygen. If they don't smell bad, there is no problem.
