Swimming crabs are selling well at the vegetable market
At 4 pm yesterday (August 22), reporters came to Jiaojiang Yonganting vegetable market to investigate the market.

As the stall Master Zhou shouted, more and more customers gathered, almost filling the aisle, and the business was booming. Very prosperous.
The reporter saw that the front of the aquatic product area was filled with all kinds of fresh seafood, especially the lively swimming crabs, which attracted the public to try new things. Zhang Yi is a senior "foodie". When selecting crabs, she will carefully press the navel of the crabs to check whether they are fat. At the same time, you have to "match wits and courage" with the crabs when browsing to avoid being caught by the crab's claws. The more vigorous and fresh it is, the citizens who choose it will have endless fun. "It's quite cost-effective to eat crabs at this time. It's cheap and plump. It's rare for the family to get together on weekends, pick a few fatter crabs, and eat crab fried rice cakes and a three-delicacy platter in the evening." Zhang Yi said.
The price of swimming crabs is also what citizens are most concerned about. After asking around, the reporter learned that the price of swimming crabs weighing 4 taels to 8 taels ranges from 35 yuan/catty to 50 yuan/catty, depending on the size. Dead crabs are sold for about 10 yuan/catty to 20 yuan/catty. Eagle claw shrimp and small yellow croaker sell for about 25 yuan/catty, and three-finger-wide hairtail sells for about 30 yuan/catty. pomfret has also attracted many citizens to buy because of its relatively "people-friendly" price. The price ranges from 10 yuan/catty to 20 yuan/catty. Generally speaking, seafood prices have dropped somewhat compared to the beginning of the month.
This year, swimming crabs are in high quantity and low price.
Last night, the reporter came to the Taizhou Aquatic Products Trading Center located next to the Jiaojiang Fishing Port on Gongrenxi Road. It was full of people and lively. As soon as the fish returns to port, it is immediately put into nearby markets. Most of the people who come here are big customers from restaurants, hotels, and street vendors, buying boxes by boxes. The daily trading volume of the center is about 50 tons, and more than 60% of the aquatic products in the urban area come from here.
The quantity is large and the price is more favorable. According to Jin Jianguo, manager of the center, live swimming crabs are sold for about 250 yuan per box, and dead crabs are sold for 50 yuan to 100 yuan per box, with each box weighing 10 kilograms. and , which are of poor quality, can be purchased for about 50 yuan per box. For economical fish, the price ranges from 50 yuan to 80 yuan per box. "No one can predict the price of the seafood market. It is normal for the price to fluctuate up to 5 yuan every day. There may be fluctuations even within a few hours. This is the law of the market." Jin Jianguo said that overall, the overall price of seafood this year It is down 15% compared with the same period last year. Especially for swimming crabs, the quantity is high and the price is low this year. It can be said to be "cabbage price".
So, how will the overall price of seafood change in the next stage? Jin Jianguo, who has more than 20 years of market management experience, analyzed that prices will basically not fluctuate much by October. If there is no typhoon, seafood will be the most cost-effective in the next month. After the weather gets colder during the National Day, less seafood will be caught and the quality will be higher, so the price of seafood will gradually increase.
