There are countless common types of seafood, so today let's take a brief look at them.

1. Abalone

Everyone is quite familiar with abalone. Abalone is not a fish, but a precious marine edible shellfish. Its main species include the varied abalone, semi-striated abalone, sheep abalone, ear abalone, and wrinkled disk abalone, five in total. Abalone has well-developed gonads, and its meat is thick and plump, with a very delicious taste and excellent nutritional value.

2. Sea urchin

The sea urchin, also called the sea hedgehog, is an echinoderm, round, hemispherical, or heart-shaped. Although the sea urchin is not much to look at, its gonads - sea urchin roe - are an extremely delicious food.

3. Raw oyster

The raw oyster is also called oyster. It is a mollusk that grows in the ocean. Raw oysters have high nutritional value, containing a variety of vitamins and nutrients such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, and zinc. Not only do they taste delicious, but they also have considerable medicinal value.

4. Grouper

Grouper is a precious seafood fish that sells well in Hong Kong, China, Macao, China, and Taiwan, China. It is a low-fat, high-protein premium edible fish. However, there are many types of grouper, such as tiger grouper, green grouper, and leopard coral grouper. Different types of grouper prices vary, and their edible value is also different.

5. Mud crab

Mud crab can be eaten in many ways, mostly steamed plain, with thick meat and rich roe, and a very delicious taste. Moreover, mud crab also has the effect of nourishing and strengthening the body. Especially in female crabs about to become pregnant, red or yellow roe is produced inside the body, earning it the name "sea ginseng".

6. Squid

Squid, also called arrow squid, has tightly packed, elastic muscle tissue and is chewy when eaten, making it a delicious seafood product. It is basically the same as cuttlefish, octopus, and other soft-bodied cephalopod seafood products in terms of nutritional function.

The prawn is an arthropod, with a body 15-20 cm long and a thin, transparent shell. The whiskers on the second pair of antennae are very long. Its meat is delicious, and it is one of China's specialty products. It is mainly produced in the Yellow Sea and Bohai Bay. In the past, it was often sold in pairs in the market, so it is called prawn.
