How to choose shrimp in the store

Whatever type of shrimp you prefer, always read the inscriptions on the package. Beware of the products of unknown companies whose addresses and phones are not indicated on the packaging.

Note the shrimp sizes. For normal shrimp, 90/120 is not at all an indication of millimeters or inches. Such a label means that in 1 kilogram of product from 90 to 120 shrimp. Quite often in stores put another "size" to sell the goods more expensive.

According to the current legislation in Russia, the thickness of the shrimp ice should not be more than 4%, however some manufacturers do not adhere to this requirement. Even worse is the situation in convenience stores, where sellers increase the ice cake and pack the shrimp to increase the price and weight of the product.

If the package shows snow lumps, it means that during the transportation and storage the product was thawed and frozen again. Perhaps this has happened many times.

Shrimp of good quality have a smooth pink color, the tail is always bent. A rusty shell, yellow meat, black spots on a shell or paws are signs of old shrimp. If the tail is unbent, then the individual died before it was frozen.

If the shrimp has a black head, it should be discarded immediately, as this color is a symptom of the disease. Shrimp with a green head is quite edible. Just before the catch, she was eating a special kind of plankton. The brown color of the head indicates the pregnancy of the shrimp. Their meat is extremely useful.
