How to eat seafood safely in spring?

Eat seasonal seafood

The growth cycle of different seafood is long and short, so the maturity of different seafood is different. Basically, a batch of seafood will be listed every season. Fruits and vegetables are best eaten in season, and so are seafood. Seafood in season can ensure the best taste and higher nutritional value.

It needs to be cooked thoroughly.

Seafood will contain a lot of bacteria brought from water, and there may be parasite eggs and contaminated bacteria during processing and transportation, so seafood must be cooked thoroughly. Generally speaking, boiling water takes 4-5 minutes to completely sterilize. If you want to eat uncooked seafood such as sashimi, you must be careful to ensure the freshness and hygiene of the food before you consider eating it.

Don't eat dead shellfish and crabs.

Both of these foods contain a lot of protein, and their bacteria are relatively high. Once it dies, it will breed germs and produce toxins, and the unsaturated fatty acids contained in it are also prone to oxidative rancidity. So it's best to eat live and fresh food, and it can't be stored at home for too long. Cook it as soon as possible.

Don't blanch the frozen shrimp.

Boiled shrimps have high requirements for seafood. Even after quick freezing, protein has partially denatured and produced amine substances, which can not reach the taste, flavor and safety of live shrimp, so it is not suitable for boiled shrimp.
