: Guangdong is also flooded? It is thicker than an arm and tastes quite delicious. Foodies are in luck.
In the hot summer, I am afraid that only late-night snacks can relieve people's worries. A dozen cold beers, a few skewers of barbecue, toasting and singing, that is the most pleasant life in summer. Different regions in the country have different late-night snack cultures due to different allocations of cultural and material resources, but the same thing is that the food in each place is made from local materials, which is not only cheap, but also has quite good local characteristics. Seaside cities mainly focus on seafood, while people in inland areas prefer some mountain delicacies.
But recently, another super-large delicacy has appeared in some night markets in Guangdong, which has made foodies extremely happy. After asking around, I found out that a kind of river shrimp as thick as an arm has appeared in other night markets. Strictly speaking, many consumers don't know what kind of shrimp it is. Because it looks like a river shrimp, they call it a large river shrimp. This delicacy has stolen the limelight from crayfish and has become a delicacy that late-night snack lovers are eager to taste.
So what kind of species is this river shrimp as big as an arm, and why did it suddenly appear in the night market in Guangdong? It is reported that the original name of this large freshwater shrimp is Macrobrachium rosenbergii . I heard that it was flooding in India many years ago. I didn't expect it to appear on our dining tables now. It is incredible. Macrobrachium rosenbergii is a long-armed shrimp, with a length of about 40 centimeters and a body as thick as a woman’s arm, so it is quite heavy.
However, our understanding of Macrobrachium rosenbergii began in India. As we all know, there are three treasures in the Ganges River in India, including Indian catfish, Ganges soft-shell turtle , and Macrobrachium rosenbergii. However, because of the Indians' reverence for the Ganges, the three treasures of the Ganges flooded in the local area. It is reported that India can fish out hundreds of thousands of kilograms of Macrobrachium rosenbergii every day, but no decrease in the number of Macrobrachium rosenbergii has been found, which shows how severe its flooding is.
Macrobrachium rosenbergii is a species that is rampant in India, but why does it appear in our country now? In fact, Macrobrachium rosenbergii is not a species exclusive to India. Its distribution is actually very wide. This huge species is found in almost all countries surrounding India, and our country is no exception. Among them, it is more common in Guangxi and Guangdong regions of my country. Since the number of Macrobrachium rosenbergii in our country is not large, it has no impact on the ecology, and it is not a common food on the dining table. Macrobrachium rosenbergii has always been very low-key in the Chinese market, and there has been no flooding anywhere.
Therefore, few people really know this kind of prawn. Nowadays, Macrobrachium rosenbergii has appeared on people's dining tables and has attracted the attention of foodies. This is also a blessing for foodies. Macrobrachium rosenbergii has entered people's dining tables, which shows that its number is growing, but it has not yet reached the point of flooding. Maybe it's just that there are more resources in Guangdong. From a gourmet perspective, Macrobrachium rosenbergii is indeed a rare delicacy, and its plump shrimp meat is quite delicious.
Macrobrachium rosenbergii, which is as big as a head, is definitely a top-notch delicacy for those who love shrimp. Judging from the nutritional value of Macrobrachium rosenbergii, its nutritional content is similar to that of ordinary shrimps, and its taste is also very good. Naturally, such a large delicacy has attracted the attention of foodies. In addition, the current breeding of Macrobrachium rosenbergii is gradually becoming mature, which also shows that the market for Macrobrachium rosenbergii must be good in the future. The best-selling of Macrobrachium rosenbergii in my country's catering market is also in sharp contrast to the flooding phenomenon in India.
