How to store live shrimp

1. Refrigerator dry maintenance method:

This method is the most common. Now most people have refrigerators at home. If you have leftover food, you can put it in the refrigerator. It is very convenient. We take out a plastic box and put some wet paper towels or wet towels in it as a bottom pad. After putting the shrimp in it, we put a layer of wet paper towels or wet towels on it. This is done to use the cold air in the refrigerator to keep the wet paper towels or wet towels at a certain humidity to keep the shrimps fresh for a long time. However, everyone should remember that you cannot put the plastic box directly into the refrigerator, as this will freeze the shrimps to death, which will have the opposite effect.

2. Bottle preservation method:

Put the fresh shrimps one by one into an empty beverage bottle, fill it with water, tighten the bottle cap, and freeze it in the refrigerator. This way the shrimps are completely isolated from the air and will not have any odors. Before eating, take out a bottle and thaw it in advance, then use a knife or scissors to break open the bottle. One bottle is just enough to make one dish. This method is simple, convenient, clean, neat, and most importantly, it keeps freshness from drying out and does not transfer flavors. Because the shrimps are isolated from the air, the shrimp meat is as fresh as new ones and will not become dry and woody.

2. Water culture method:

The simplest way is of course to use a shrimp box or shrimp bag plus an electric pump, but this method of water culture is not the best, because during the period from buying the shrimp to the official fishing, the shrimp will swing around in the water. Before arriving at the fishing ground, the shrimp will have consumed a lot of physical energy and greatly reduced their ability to move. A shrimp box with cold preservation ability is better than an ordinary shrimp bag because low temperature is more beneficial to shrimp. However, not everyone has an electric pump at home, so it’s up to you to choose which method to use.

3. Sand culture method:

This is a method used by the older generation of anglers. Prepare a plastic box, the size is up to you, just go with what you like. Add some hand pulls and vents, and then cover with a one to two inch layer of fine sand, and the best fine sand is the sea sand on the beach. In this way, the shrimp can be raised in this environment for two or three days. This method is closest to the natural living environment of the shrimp, so it is easy for the shrimp to adapt. If it is winter, you can raise the shrimp for four to five days, or even a week. However, the sand used needs to be cleaned and exposed to the sun all day long in order to raise the shrimp well. This method is more troublesome. Nowadays, people pay attention to convenience, so few people use this method.
