All shrimp are the same, what is the difference between sea shrimp and river shrimp? The 30-year-old shrimp trader advises you not to buy low-quality shrimp.
Do you know the difference between sea shrimp and river shrimp?
1. Different environment
I believe everyone knows that sea shrimp live in the sea and are completely natural. But river shrimp is different. Refers to shrimp that grow in small rivers and streams, also known as grass shrimp, which can be farmed.
2. Shrimps vary in size
The size of marine shrimp is generally relatively large, the normal size is usually about 15 to 24 cm, while the size of river shrimp is relatively small. Unless some are of better quality, the size can go up to about 15 cm. In addition, the shells of these two types of shrimp are also different. Marine shrimp shells are relatively hard, while river shrimp shells are relatively soft.
3. Different taste
River shrimp grow in fresh water, have a light fishy smell, sweet and delicious meat, but sea shrimp are different. They live in the sea, have a strong fishy smell but the shrimp meat is tough. Shrimp after being processed, the quality of the meat is also delicious.
4. Differences in nutrition
In fact, the basic nutrition of marine shrimp and river shrimp is similar. The only difference is that marine shrimp living in the sea have a higher iodine content in their bodies, while river shrimp grown in freshwater have higher calcium levels than marine shrimp.
I believe everyone after watching will understand, in fact, there is not much difference in nutrition between sea shrimp and river shrimp. The biggest difference is the taste. You still have to decide which one to buy based on your situation.
