Shanghai eats crayfish up to 70 tons

Another year when the crayfish is hot. The reporter learned from an interview yesterday that the daily consumption of crawfish in Shencheng can reach 70 tons, which is calculated as 10 per catty, which is equivalent to the 1.4 million crayfish that Shanghai people eat each day. The figures are extremely alarming. In addition, the relevant person in charge of Jing County revealed that the authentic crayfish are less than 20% each year to supply this city.

Crawfish is becoming the first choice for many people in Shanghai. In fact, after the summer, the sales of crayfish pulled a clear line. The reporter learned from the Tongchuan Aquatic Market, the city’s largest aquatic product wholesale market, that crayfish began to sell well in mid-to-late May and reached its peak in July and August. At present, the wholesale price of crayfish over 50 grams is about 20 yuan, and the wholesale price of crayfish below this size is about 12 yuan. According to statistics, the daily consumption of crawfish in Shencheng can reach 70 tons.

According to rough statistics, Shanghai currently has four or five thousand crayfish shops, among which at least a thousand are signboards of “crayfish”. However, at the International Lobster Festival Press Conference, the relevant person in Ganxian County stated that the annual production of lobsters was about 55,000 tons, but less than 20% of them were supplied to Shanghai, which also meant that the vast majority of listings in this city The so-called "coddy lobsters" are counterfeit goods.

In this regard, Ji County has opened 326 stores in Shanghai and opened a flagship store in Jiangsu Hotel. At present, the Lobster Lobster Association is preparing to crack down in Shanghai to standardize the Shanghai market, collect relevant evidence, and rectify various types of infringement in the market through the industrial and commercial departments.
