How long does crayfish farming take before they can be sold on the market?

These days many people are raising crayfish, and everyone should know that the profit margin involved is very large, but this year's crayfish market has been full of ups and downs. So do you know how long crayfish farming takes before they can be sold? Let's take a look together!

1. How long does crayfish farming take before they can be sold

In crayfish farming, from raising the fry to the point where they become commercial crayfish ready for market, it takes only about two months before they can be sold. Around March each year is the time to release the fry, and by June they can begin to be harvested and sent to market in rotation.

2. How do you remove the digestive tract from crayfish?

Anyone who has eaten crayfish should know that the digestive tract is one of the more troublesome steps, so today let's take a look together at how to remove it.

1. Use a toothpick inserted into the second segment of the crayfish's back, score it open and pull the digestive tract out directly. This method is relatively simple, but be careful about safety.

2. Cut off the head and tail of the crayfish, squeeze out the digestive tract and dirt with your hands; this is the second step after cleaning, and in the end you should rinse it again.

3. When removing the head of the crayfish, do not twist it off all at once; turn the head slowly and the intestine will come out along with it. This method is more suitable for those with experience.

4. Remove the head and shell of the crayfish, keep the tail, cut open along both sides of the back, pull the back open and take out the digestive tract. Be careful with the knife, because crayfish are quite lively, so beginners are advised to work slowly.

3. Parts of the crayfish that should not be eaten

1. Digestive tract: The digestive tract is the crayfish's intestine and other digestive organs, located on the back of the crayfish. Some are very black, some are very light in color, and it tends to accumulate heavy metals, so it should be pulled out before cooking. We all know the digestive tract cannot be eaten, but when eating out it is hard to avoid encountering this situation, so it is recommended to eat at home, where you can clean it yourself and avoid the problem.

2. Gills: The gill area of the crayfish is actually the “dirtiest” part, but this part is often overlooked. Because crayfish mainly rely on their gills to filter, harmful substances are concentrated in the gills and on the body surface, so when eating it is best not to eat the parts above the gills.
