The people of wuhan, who love seafood, are blessed. Starting in mid-february, journalists visited the river city seafood market on a daily basis and found that various types of seafood products that had generally increased prices during the spring season were now in a steady fall. Among them, many species of seafood have the highest price “cut off” and some of the usual small seafood have become cheaper, even with “one dollar” of excess benefits。
According to industry sources, during the spring season, seafood was the fastest consumed in a year, with prices rising sharply compared to earlier. With the end of the holiday consumption dividend, seafood products are in urgent need of delivery and must be sold at reduced prices. At the same time, seafood products are expected to become more pro-people due to the increasing production of seafood, which is now complementary to markets, coupled with lower road logistics and labour costs。
"one dollar seafood" in the river city
On 26 february, in the light of the morning sun of the weekend, ms. Lee, who lives in hanquo tang choi road, wuhan city, came to the fresh market, not far from the district, to buy some small seafood for guests and to discover some of the common seafood species that he had eaten in the past year, has now fallen sharply。
"is this big abalone worth three dollars? Last month, it was six bucks!" prior to her regular purchases of seafood, ms. Le had selected an abalone that had been purchased in large quantities the previous year, at a price that was half as cheap as in the previous year。
The boss introduced the 2. 5-dollar abalone as the smallest species. A little older is $4, and the top 10-headed abalone is only $6, selling 12-dollar abalone in the next year, and the same price is down by half. "a lot of small seafood did fall a lot." the boss confessed。
Subsequently, journalists visited a variety of fresh shops in the hanguchi region and even discovered “one dollar seafood”. In front of the main shellfish and small seafood slots, a visible sign was put out for “one for every one of them”. According to the head of the business, the beryllium in the store is priced according to different specifications, ranging from $1 to $6 per unit. “the six-dollar beryllium is more than half a pound, and it's usually a one-dollar beryllium that's the best way to smoke!” said the director。

During the visit, journalists noted that various shellfish prices were the most pro-people. With the exception of a minimum of one dollar for the platinum, 2. 5 dollars for the abalone and 8 pounds for the florist, the prices of small seafood in the medium head range from $15 to $25 per pound for scallops, and from $30 to $35 per pound for the most expensive scallop, which is 34 per cent less than during the spring festival。
“the market stock of shellfish is now the largest and new sources of cargo have been brought in, and market prices have fallen significantly.” red six, a dealer who has been in the seafood and seafood business for more than a decade, told journalists that during the spring season, seafood was being shipped in a concentrated fashion in various seafood areas, and that there was a growing supply of frozen seafood in larger reserves, with seafood markets showing a trend towards high prices throughout the spring. “seafood is very much consumed at spring festivals, but the market is more supplied.” red six says。
However, with the end of spring holidays, demand began to decline significantly, both in the catering market and in the final retail market. Seafood prices are starting to decline when stocks remain high。

In addition to shellfish, more consumers prefer shrimp crabs and fish seafood prices, which also fall significantly over the spring season. Among them, items such as precious crabs, east starbucks, and leather shrimps are all “converted”。
In a seafood market in the hongshan hills of wuhan city, merchants reported that the price of precious crabs sold around the spring season to 180 to 190 dollars per pound was more than 90 to 95 dollars; the price of leather shrimp fell from 100 to 50 pounds per pound; and the east star spot fell from 150 to 160 dollars per pound to about 75 to 80 dollars per pound。
The citizens of wuhan are hoping to get more seafood this spring
How long will the downward trend in seafood markets continue? Industry described the annual spring period as a concentration of seafood off the eastern coast. This also means that, in addition to the current market stocks that need to be digested as soon as possible, more freshly harvested seafood products will enter the mass market in the coming spring。
At the same time, with better weather conditions in the spring, local transport logistics have become smoother and logistics costs have been reduced relatively. These factors add up to the fact that the population is able to eat more affordable seafood over a longer period of time。
