"How much is the 7-pound hairtail this morning?" As usual, Lao Tao came to Taiwan Road Vegetable Market early in the morning. When the stall owner saw the old diners coming, he responded with a smile:
The old price, the old price, weighs about 7 Liang a catty in 35 yuan. No matter how small the hairtail farmer is, he won’t buy it. "
While talking, Lao Tao picked up the hairtail and flipped it up and down to see if there was a rotten belly, then cocked his thumb and said, "Pretty good, pretty good, just buy two." See the old tao agreed, vendor picked up two, weigh, quote:
Two 51.8 yuan, forget it, forget it, it’s cheaper for regular diners, so give it to 50 yuan. "
Lao Tao lives near Taiwan Road, and his ancestral home is Ningbo, Zhejiang Province. He came to Shanghai to work hard in the 1950s. Because of his ancestral home in Ningbo, he especially likes to eat seafood from the East China Sea, including hairtail from the East China Sea. In recent years, he has ordered hairtail from Shengsi at the peak of listing every year and delivered it to his home by express delivery. But this year, he changed his practice and bought it directly at the nearby vegetable market.
Old Tao said:
This year, the selling price of Shengsi and Lvsi hairtail is more expensive than that of Shanghai vegetable market, and the 7-fold hairtail is about 10 yuan per catty, but the old customer boss will give it a discount, and it will cost 40 yuan a catty. From Shengsi and Lvsi to Shanghai, it’s not worthwhile to add the express fee, so I’ll just buy it at the Shanghai vegetable market. "
A few days ago, the reporter contacted Shengsi seafood market, and the local seafood stall owner, Mr. Yang, quoted a price. The retail price was about half a catty of hairtail 35 yuan, 7 ounces of hairtail 45 yuan and 1 catty of hairtail 70 yuan.
Shanghai Jiangnan Vegetable Market and Taiwan Road Vegetable Market are about half a catty, 30 yuan a catty, 7 liang a catty, 35 yuan a catty, 45 to 55 yuan a catty.
At the same time, the reporter further interviewed Ninghai East Road, Dajing and other vegetable markets, and found that although the selling prices of various vegetable markets are different, they are all cheaper than Shengsi seafood market.
The reporter contacted Boss Yang of Shengsi seafood market by mobile phone. Boss Yang admitted that some seafood varieties sold in many seafood markets in Shengsi this year were not cheap, including hairtail.
According to her analysis, there are more tourists in Shengsi in recent years. Many tourists, including many Shanghai residents, think that the East China Sea seafood sold in Shengsi is authentic and cheap, or they buy it in large quantities when traveling, or order it directly online, so dealers have raised prices for this.
In the interview, the reporter also learned that there are a lot of hairtail listed in major vegetable markets in Shanghai recently, especially hairtail below 4 Liang. The stall owners told reporters that after the end of November this year, the hairtail fishing season occurred in the East China Sea, and the catch of some fishermen doubled compared with last year, so the market listing of the vegetable market also increased significantly.
"I learned that oily hairtail is large and cheap, and diners buy it one after another. It is sold out after 10 o’clock in the morning." A seafood stall owner in Jiangnan food market told reporters,
In the past two days, the sales volume of hairtail in her booth exceeded 30 kg a day, and the sales volume at the weekend was close to 50 kg. "
Ms. Huang, who is buying food in Jiangnan vegetable market, said that every December in previous years, she bought hairtail almost every two weeks until the Spring Festival. East China Sea hairtail is fat, tender and waxy, and it is the best hairtail variety. "The price is cheap this year, of course, we should eat more."
The scales of hairtail in the East China Sea are white and slightly black, the scales are easy to fall off, there are no protruding bones on the bone ridge, and the eyes are small. Black eyes are smaller and whiter.
At the end of autumn every year, the growth rate of hairtail in the East China Sea slows down. During this period, some hairtail in the East China Sea has accumulated a lot of nutrients and fat, and the meat quality is particularly thick. The hairtail that has accumulated a lot of nutrients and fat weighs half a catty to a catty, or even more than a catty. Such hairtail is called hairtail in the East China Sea.
