In the Ningbo Aquatic Products Wholesale Market Greater World Trading Area,

Le Xin, the person in charge of Yonghai Fresh Food Store, said helplessly,

The heat of swimming crabs is really too high——

Almost a batch of crabs comes, and customers grab a batch,

Basic reliance on hand speed.

According to the pattern of previous years,

At this point,

The swimming crab will usher in the cheapest season of the year.

What is the actual situation?

Yesterday morning, the Chao News reporter arrived again

I strolled around major agricultural markets in Hangzhou.

The price of swimming crabs has almost halved

Some customers specifically choose those with only one breath left

At 9:50 in the morning, at Pingfeng Street Farmers' Market, before the hustle and bustle of the morning market had subsided, customers from three seafood stalls occasionally asked about the price of swimming crabs.

"Nowadays, the price of swimming crabs is one per day. When we first started fishing, the prices were very high, ranging from 70-80 yuan to 80-90 yuan per kilogram. Now, it's basically 40 to 50 yuan per kilogram, with a discount of about 50%. Of course, good swimming crabs also sell for 60-70 yuan per kilogram." The owner of a seafood stall told reporters that the swimming crabs she sells weigh only about 3-4 taels; There are also a few large swimming crabs, weighing only about eight taels.

There is a nearby stall, which is divided into three levels based on the size and appearance of the swimming crab: 45 yuan/jin, 38 yuan/jin, and 28 yuan/jin.

"Is there anything left to breathe?" Aunt Zhou, who came to buy groceries, was obviously experienced and knew there were cheaper options. After hearing this, Mr. Zhu from the seafood stall immediately took out a small basket of wilted swimming crabs from below, stating that it was only 18 yuan per kilogram. "This is not a dead crab yet. Look at the crab's feet still moving." Aunt Zhou looked at the crab and said she would come back tonight.

A customer told Tide News that an elderly aunt bought three swimming crabs for only over 40 yuan. "Go back and braise."

At the Zhonghe Agricultural Market by Chaohui Road, Ms. Zhang, the owner, sells swimming crabs weighing only about three to four taels. High quality ones are sold for over 70 yuan per kilogram, while others are sold for 30 yuan per kilogram. Ms. Zhang picked up a lively swimming crab and said, "You see, its crab feet have deep patterns and it has a red envelope on its abdomen. Only those with good quality can sell for over 70 yuan per kilogram."

Ms. Zhang said that in the past few days since the start of fishing, swimming crabs have been selling well. "Basically, all the goods purchased on the same day can be sold out, and some losses can be dealt with at a low price. Catched swimming crabs cannot be kept for a long time, and if kept for a long time, the crab meat inside will be empty."

Overall, it is more expensive than the same period in previous years

Some citizens are preparing to wait a few days before taking action

Ms. Zhang told reporters that the overall feeling in the past two days is that the supply of swimming crabs to the market is not as large as in previous years, and compared to the same period in previous years, the current price of swimming crabs is actually higher. "It is still related to the impact of typhoons on the fishing season. In theory, this time of year is the cheapest time for swimming crabs."

"When the price is cheap, it's the best time to sell," said Lao Xia, a seafood vendor at Genshan Farmers' Market. Many customers choose to buy crabs while the quantity is greatly reduced. At his stall, the cheapest swimming crab is sold for over 20 yuan per kilogram, and many people buy it. Lao Xia introduced that when fishing first started, the expensive swimming crab was sold for 85 yuan per kilogram.

Around 10 o'clock in the morning, the Chao News reporter arrived at the Fengqi Agricultural Market located next to Fengqi Road. Aquatic stall owner Aqiang told reporters that one week after the release of swimming crabs, with the increase of fishing volume, the prices are also much cheaper, and more and more people are buying them. "The best selling crab in my store is five to six taels of swimming crab. Originally sold for over 100 yuan per kilogram, now it's only 70 yuan per kilogram."

At the Fengqi Agricultural Market, Zhang Fei's seafood stall was crowded with people buying swimming crabs. The owner, Zhang Fei, told reporters that the price of swimming crabs has been relatively stable in recent days. The prices of swimming crabs here are divided into three levels, with larger ones weighing only four to five taels, selling for 45 yuan per kilogram; Slightly smaller in size and weighing only about three taels, sold for 35 yuan per kilogram; The smallest one is only 18 yuan per kilogram.

When the swimming crab was first launched in early August last year, the reporter interviewed Zhang Fei Aquatic Products. At that time, the swimming crab weighing only four to five taels was only sold for 38 yuan per kilogram.

Another seafood vendor complained to reporters that the survival rate of swimming crabs this year is not high, resulting in relatively high prices and difficult to sell. "A basket of three to four hundred pounds of swimming crabs would cost two-thirds of their lives, resulting in a much higher price in the end."

Citizen Aunt Wu watched the prices in front of the seafood stall for a while, but decided not to buy for now. "My family loves to eat swimming crabs, but I think the price of crabs is still quite expensive now. I'll wait a few more days to see."

Due to the fact that swimming crabs are a sea fishing commodity, their prices fluctuate greatly, and "three prices a day" is also common. According to multiple wholesalers, last weekend's prices at Zhoushan and Shipu docks ranged from about 30-50 yuan per kilogram, and the overall market remained stable with some decline.

At present, the cargo volume at the port is sufficient, and the subsequent supply and crab fertility depend on the fishing situation. It is expected that by the end of this month, the price of small and medium-sized crabs will gradually decline, and high-quality crabs will still operate at a high level.

Approaching Mid Autumn Festival and National Day, with these two holidays, the price of swimming crabs will also rise significantly. At the same time, as the temperature and sea water temperature decrease, the overall quality of crabs will continue to improve.
