The price of hairtail is generally around 15-20 yuan per catty. However, according to different regions, the selling price varies to some extent. For example, it is generally cheaper in coastal areas, and even doubles in inland areas. In addition, hairtail is different in size and price. Small hairtail produces less meat, so it is generally not expensive to sell, and the price of big hairtail is high.
2. How do hairtail look new and not fresh1. Fish body: Fresh hairtail is relatively complete and hard, and the higher the hardness, the fresher it is. On the contrary, if it is soft and prone, it means that it has been put for too long. In addition, hairtail has a layer of silver powder on its surface, which will make it look shiny. If the body surface is yellow, it is not very fresh.
2, fisheye: No matter what kind of fish, you can judge whether it is fresh by looking at its fisheye, and hairtail is no exception. Fresh hairtail eyeballs will bulge and be black and white. If the eyes are sunken and covered with a layer of things, it means it is defective. Besides eyes, you can also have a look at your stomach. If it is broken, don't buy it.
3. Smell: Aquatic products usually have fishy smell. Seafood often has a heavier fishy smell, but it usually doesn't smell bad. If hairtail stinks, it means it is not fresh. Many vendors often freeze fish in order to cover up the smell. It is best not to buy such fish.
