I think abalone is the "most complementary" seafood we usually come into contact with. The price of abalone has always been very expensive, but this year's abalone will be lower than before, but its price is still the "leading" in seafood. Not only is it very nourishing and healthy, but the land where meat is eaten is also very delicious. But it is not easy to choose a better abalone. I always thought I would touch abalone with my hands. If it moves, it means it is alive and fresh, so I will buy it home directly. I firmly believe that many friends have chosen it like me! However, it is not enough to use this trick alone, but also depends on other circumstances.
So how to choose abalone? The chef teaches you to buy two and not buy two to ensure that abalone is big and fresh! I'll share with you the methods my good friend, the chef, taught me, hoping to help you!
The first "buy": abalone with wider bottom.
You can look at the bottom of abalone when you buy it. Generally speaking, if the bottom of abalone is wider, it means that the meat in this abalone is very tender and round. Abalone with wide bottom has no meat, so the meat is "thin", so the wide bottom is much better than the slender bottom. Fresh abalone with good quality, its surface is very complete, without cracks and gaps; Therefore, in the case of selection, try to choose abalone with smooth surface, no trace and wide bottom, or abalone with relatively high quality.
The second "buy": bright colors
Good quality abalone will generally be bright in color, and the more bright it means the fresher it is; When we put this abalone under the lighting effect, the surface will show a little bright red.
The first "don't buy": the color is dim.
Just now we said that we should match some bright colors, and we don't need to buy some yellow that looks darker. As a result, abalone may not be fresh or even die. The darker the color outside, the longer the death time, so we don't need to buy this kind of abalone.
The second "don't buy": it looks weird and has a high ass.
If you want to match abalone with a relatively complete surface, it will be strange. If there are cracks and cracks outside, it will not be fresh and the quality will be poor. You should also avoid buying this kind of abalone.
Summary: If you want to buy high-quality abalone, touch it with your hands first, or it is still alive, and then look at the surface. The bottom is spacious, the surface is meticulous, and it is not cracked or flowered. There is nothing wrong with choosing this one!
Then buy home to clean abalone: clean the dirty things in the shell directly, then dig out the meat first, remove the green viscera in the abalone, sprinkle a little salt on the soft brush, clean the shell and meat, and clean the mucus on it, and you can do it.
