Why is Boston lobster cheap? Is the meat quality really different from that of Aolong?

In China, "Big Lobster" is a big dish!

whether it's a business banquet, a celebration banquet, a wedding banquet or a birthday banquet, there will always be an Australian lobster or a Boston lobster sitting in the town with "head held high".

On weekdays, girls and men may have eaten "big lobster" many times.

But looking at the red-hot "big lobster" on the round table, they often can't tell which one is Australian lobster and which one is Boston lobster.

however, when they knew the price, they knew it immediately.

Because Australian lobster and Boston lobster are two or three times different in price under the same weight.

The price of Australian lobster is far higher than that of Boston lobster.

But they also have doubts in their hearts, "Why is the price of Australian lobster so much more expensive than Boston lobster?"

You see, they look very similar and taste similar. They are all wild and imported seafood.

how can there be such a big disparity in this price? 1 Australian lobster and Boston lobster, face grade

Actually, eating "big lobster" pays attention to Geely and style!

In our Zhejiang province, whoever has better family conditions, invites a big lobster to the town for business, weddings or dinner with important people.

When the guests see "Big Lobster", they will feel highly valued, have face and be very happy.

Later, I traveled all over the country on business or tourism, and found that other provinces were the same.

Cantonese and Hong Kong people, in particular, will "summon" Australian lobsters or Boston lobsters on important days.

One year, I went to Guangzhou to attend the Canton Fair on behalf of my father.

A local boss invited me to dinner. Knowing that I like to study the history of food, he told me,

"Zheng Xiaota, we Cantonese like to eat lobster, which is a good luck and a good sign!"

"Look at Australian lobster and Boston lobster. After they are cooked, they are all red, full of fire and jubilant. How auspicious!"

"A huge red lobster head, standing on the table, does it mean that Hong (Hong) is lucky?"

when I think about it, that's right!

For the newly rich people in China, there is nothing like a lobster to express their feelings and expectations.

As a result, Australian lobster and Boston lobster have suddenly surpassed mussels and abalone to become one of the top-grade ingredients in China, symbolizing their status and status.

"However, Zheng Xiaota, we Cantonese prefer Australian lobster to Boston lobster", the boss said slowly.

"Because, Australian lobster has more face than Boston lobster!"

Seeing that I was a little surprised, he continued to preach.

It's mainly the two big claws of Boston lobster, as shown below.

If you carefully compare Australian lobster with Boston lobster, you will find that Boston lobster (pictured above) has two more big claws than Australian lobster (pictured below).

These two "big scissors", oh, no, are two big pincers. They look like hammers and are big and stout, accounting for 15% or 2% of the weight of Boston lobster at once.

Then, think about it again. Under the same weight, is Boston lobster much smaller than Australian lobster, and does the tail of shrimp have much less meat?

What we in China are keen on is that the bigger the lobster, the bigger it is, the more classy it will be, and the more dignified it will be.

As a result, the bigger Australian lobster won, and the price naturally went up. 2 Australian lobster and Boston lobster, "the real dragon"

A few years ago, I attended the 1th anniversary celebration of a real estate company.

At that time, the economy was good, and most companies had money, but in high-end hotels, I was a little shocked by the appearance of thirty tables, each with an Australian lobster.

It's a bit boring to sit at the banquet. I also blurted out, "How expensive this Australian lobster is. If you go to Boston lobster, you can save a lot of money."

As soon as the voice fell, the friend across the street began to talk.

"Zheng Xiaota, Mr. Zheng, Boston lobster can be served in ordinary occasions, but in this festive occasion, it is better to use Australian lobster!"

"Because Boston lobster is a' fake' lobster, Australian lobster is the' real dragon son of heaven'!"

"what?"

suddenly, countless question marks popped up in my head.

after all, it's the pair of "big scissors" (big claws) of Boston lobster.

Scientifically speaking, lobsters with big pincers belong to the family Chelonidae, not really lobsters.

Australian lobsters (collectively referred to as rock lobsters in Western Australia and South Australia) belong to the family Lobster, which is the authentic lobster.

In other words, Australian lobsters can point to the two big claws of Boston lobsters and strut and say,

"Real lobsters don't have big pliers! So, I, Australian lobster, am the real dragon!

Therefore, some exquisite rich people and superstitious businessmen only use Australian lobsters to entertain their guests at celebrations and happy occasions.

after all, good luck depends on the real dragon emperor!

"In this way, the first Australian lobster is much more expensive than the second Boston lobster", my friend finally concluded.

at first glance, it seems to be the same! 3 Australian lobster and Boston lobster, the taste of the dishes is

When it comes to the variety of dishes, Australian lobster can be even more embarrassing.

Because Australian lobsters can cook more dishes than Boston lobsters.

This is why Australian lobster is more expensive than Boston lobster.

Australian lobsters can be eaten raw or fried and steamed, while Boston lobsters can only be eaten after being heated and cooked.

If you see the dish "lobster sashimi" at a business dinner or birthday party, there is no doubt that it must be made of Australian lobster.

Pick up a few slices, dip them in soy sauce and mustard, and eat them in one bite. They are smooth, tender, fragrant and sweet, and their mouths are full of original delicious food, which is even worse than salmon.

(For salmon, you can read this article, "Where do we eat salmon sashimi?"? -Japanese restaurant-Become a dating expert quickly-Deal with party meals easily! )

So, you will also see that after the dish "lobster sashimi" was served, a disk turned down, and there were not many pieces left in the plate, which was immediately finished by everyone!

Boston lobster, meanwhile, can only cry silently.

because it can't be eaten raw, it will be less sought after by people and its value will not be high.

The chef of a five-star hotel in Hangzhou reminded me, "Zheng Xiaota, Boston lobster contains more parasites, so you should never eat it raw!"

Therefore, Boston lobster can only be eaten after "frying", "steaming" and "burning".

If you go to a Cantonese restaurant, there is a dish called "Three Lobsters to Eat", which is very popular among Cantonese people.

However, in almost all Chinese restaurants in China, as long as you order Australian lobster, the waiter will recommend you "lobster three foods".

Simply put, "three ways to eat lobster" means that an Australian lobster has three ways to eat at the same time.

"Sir, Australian lobster, shrimp meat for sashimi, porridge in the head shell and steamed eggs in the lobster brain, is this ok?"

Or, you can put forward your preference, "Waiter, I'll tell you what. Shrimp meat is used to make sashimi, shrimp head dishes are soaked in rice, and stir-fried lobster feet are added."

of course, in a restaurant, you don't have to be afraid of making mistakes.

there is no clear definition of "three lobsters to eat".

Usually, "eat raw" and "cook porridge and rice" are two mandatory options, and there is another way to customize the options as you like.

Boston lobster also has "three lobsters to eat".

For example, compared with western-style methods, steamed garlic vermicelli, lobster seafood porridge, lobster baked with cheese, and so on.

At the banquet, a girl also asked me, "Zheng Xiaota, will there be a difference in taste between cooked Australian lobster and Boston lobster?"

how do you say this?

Their tastes are basically similar, but as long as they are put together and compared, there are still obvious differences.

Boston lobster is harder to chew than Australian lobster.

It may be because it grows in cold waters. The Boston lobster meat is tight, not delicate enough, and very chewy, just like eating beef tendon. It takes a long time to swallow.

even, there are some five-star hotels in China. Boston lobster is only used for hanging soup, not eating its meat.

Australian lobsters (especially western Australian rock lobsters) are softer and more oily.

In this way, the price of Boston lobster and Australian lobster has widened again. 4 Australian lobster and Boston lobster, the output is scarce

I am in Guizhou Moutai, why is the price getting more and more expensive? -white wine-quickly become a dating expert-easily deal with party dinners! It has been said that "the scarcer it is, the more expensive it is", which is the main reason why Moutai is expensive.

actually, this sentence is also true for Australian lobsters.

among Australian lobsters, the annual catch of South Australian rock lobster is about 3, tons, and the output of Western Australian rock lobster is nearly 6,3 tons.

These catches, which total less than 1, tons, are already the limit of Australian lobster production.

Moreover, almost all (95%) Australian lobsters (equivalent to the weight of 1,5 elephants) have been airlifted to China, but they still can't satisfy the appetite of China people.

My friends who do catering have a joke, "China people eat with their bellies open, and Australian lobsters will become extinct!"

That's not enough. Boston lobster "killed itself" again.

because the output of Boston lobster is too large, far greater than that of Australian lobster, which shows the "golden value" of Australian lobster.

A friend of Hangzhou Airport Customs once told me some stories about Boston lobster.

compared with the annual catch of Australian lobsters, Boston lobsters can be caught all year round, and the annual catch output is about 68, tons.

before the financial crisis in p>28, the main market of Boston lobster was in Europe, and China imported very little.

After the financial crisis, Europeans began to tighten their belts, and the consumption of lobsters shrank sharply.

So, what about the huge catch of Boston lobster?

I had to "turn to China".

After p>29, tens of thousands of Boston lobsters flocked to China at no cost, and China became the largest market for Boston lobsters.

unexpectedly, in 212, there was a serious surplus of lobster production in Boston, which caused the price to plummet.

After the lobsters were caught, they piled up on the shore and could not be sold. In the end, Canadians and Americans had to "dump" them on the China market at a lower price.

So, you can see that there are Boston lobsters everywhere in supermarkets and restaurants, and they are always engaged in sales promotion and activities.

In the words of my catering friend, it has become, "China people eat with their bellies open, but Boston lobsters can't be finished!"

Therefore, all these factors have caused the price of Boston lobster to keep rising in China. On the contrary, it is still "cheaper, cheaper and cheaper".

On the other hand, the output of Australian lobster began to shrink, and the price actually "rose, rose and then rose".

So, it's a situation of ice and fire, "drought kills drought, and waterlogging kills waterlogging".

Boston lobsters sometimes look at the brightest star in the night sky, with tears in their eyes.

"If you are born with Yu, you are born with He Shengliang, and you are both big lobsters. Your fate is too different!"
