How much does red lobster cost per jin, and what is the difference from blue-shell shrimp?

Lobster generally has the terms blue lobster and red lobster, but in fact there are two possible meanings: one refers to the blue-shell and red-shell crayfish, and the other refers to the blue lobster and red lobster of Australian lobster. So what exactly are the differences between these two pairs of comparisons? And what are their prices per jin respectively?

1. The price of crayfish

Crayfish have two body colors. One is blue-brown, with a relatively thin shell; the other is red-brown, with a relatively thick shell. They are called “blue-shell shrimp” and “red-shell shrimp” respectively. Blue shell or red shell is merely a difference in body color during the growth of crayfish. The blue-brown body color can, under certain conditions, change to red-brown and become red-shell shrimp. It can be said that they are actually one variety, and the color differs only because they are at different growth stages. There is not much difference in taste or nutrition.

Generally speaking, the shell of blue-shell crayfish is somewhat thinner than that of red-shell crayfish, the meat is softer, and the shell is a bit easier to peel, so more people prefer blue-shell crayfish. This is also the case in the market: the price of blue-shell shrimp is somewhat higher than that of red-shell shrimp. Depending on the place of origin and variety, the price of red-shell crayfish is between 30-50 yuan, with the specific price also depending on the local market. The price of blue-shell crayfish is between 40-60 yuan; because of differences in variety and region, regional prices differ slightly.

2. The price of Australian lobster

The difference between the blue shell and red shell of Australian lobster is still quite large: red lobster is from seawater, while blue lobster is from freshwater. Seawater lobster is large in size, delicious in taste and extremely rich in nutrition. It is regarded as the king of shrimp and has multiple values for ornamental, edible and medicinal uses, and demand exceeds supply in domestic and foreign markets. Freshwater Australian lobster entered our country in the 1990s. Now Guangdong Province has achieved success in artificial breeding of seedlings and adult shrimp farming, and farming is currently being promoted inside and outside the province one after another.

The price difference between blue lobster and red lobster is very large, partly because red-shell shrimp can only enter our country by air freight, while blue-shell shrimp are already farmed domestically. In addition, the price of seafood is generally somewhat higher than that of freshwater products. Because of differences in supply sources and goods, blue-shell shrimp are generally 45-125 yuan/jin, and price differences among regional markets are relatively large. Because of differences in supply sources and goods, the wholesale prices of red lobster differ greatly, at 150-480 yuan/jin. The specific price should still be based on the local market price.

The above is about the differences between red-shell shrimp and blue-shell shrimp and their prices. After reading this, friends who love eating shrimp, do you feel that you have several more varieties to choose from? In shrimp-eating season, have two large lobsters with ice-cold beer, and the flavor of life is all right here.
