How to Choose Good Seafood
How to choose fresh shrimp
- Fresh shrimp will have a transparent color and cling tightly to the body. Do not buy shrimp with discolored, loose legs.
- Pay attention to buying shrimp with slightly curved bodies, firm flesh, intact shells, and heads tightly attached to the body.
- Do not buy shrimp with spread-out, loose tails, missing tail fins, and not neatly arranged. They may have been caught a long time ago or soaked in preservatives.
How to choose fresh and delicious squid
- Color: Fresh squid has dark brown spots and its body will be cloudy white like milk.
- Firmness: Press on the body of the squid; if it’s fresh, the flesh will have high elasticity, and the dent will quickly return to its original state.
- Observe the squid’s eyes: Fresh squid’s eyes are usually bright and clear, and you can see the iris inside.
- Squid tentacles: When you flip the squid’s tentacles up, you’ll see the round suction cup ends sticking to the tentacles. If these suction cups are intact, firm, and tightly attached to the tentacles, then it’s fresh squid.
How to choose fresh and delicious clams
- Choose clams with hard shells that are tightly closed. If you can easily pry them open with your hands, it means the clam is dead and should not be purchased.
- Or you can touch the clam with your hands; if it moves, it means the clam is still alive.
- Avoid choosing clams that have already opened, are pale in color, and have a foul smell.
You can buy pre-packaged rice cakes at large supermarkets or make them at home using the recipe shared by Tastetutorial.com.
