You might be curious about freshwater shrimp taste as you have not
eaten it before, but actually it is as delicious as the marine counterpart. The
availability of freshwater shrimp is actually larger than saltwater shrimp as
sometimes the freshwater shrimp is farmed rather than caught in the wild. Only
small amount of freshwater shrimp is caught in the wild, meanwhile majority of
the freshwater shrimp is usually farmed. Furthermore the saltwater shrimp is
considered as seasonal delicacy since it is only available in certain season.
That is why, many restaurants tends to use freshwater shrimp rather than
saltwater shrimp. Especially the farmed one as it is available anytime
throughout the year.
Great freshwater shrimp taste for your
satisfaction
The farming of freshwater shrimp is done
mostly in Asian country where the freshwater shrimp
taste is very famous for its delicious taste. The farming itself used to
be done in more traditional days as they do not know how to do it better. But
now with the development of new technology as well as the spreading of
information, then they are able to farm the freshwater shrimp in professional
way. This make the quality of the shrimp product becomes better thus the taste of the
shrimp is also becomes better.
There are many kinds of freshwater shrimp
that is farmed nowadays and the taste is also very delicious. The farming
method itself is started since the freshwater shrimp is still in juvenile stage
then they will grow it to be bigger so it is good enough to be sold. The
farming process itself is highly depended to the quality of the water as well
as the pond condition which used to grow the freshwater shrimp inside. The pond
should be in good condition, meaning there are enough food sources for the
freshwater shrimp to feed on. The shrimp itself is usually eating the insect’s
lava or algae that grow inside the pond.
However, new farm which only recently
digging the pond will not have enough food inside it. Thus during the first
year on the new farm, the shrimp does not have enough food supply inside the
pond as it is only recently being dug. To overcome this obstacle, then the
farmer will grow the juvenile inside other type of growing storage then move it
into the pond later on. But you should not have to worry as it would not affect
the quality or the freshwater shrimp taste
at all.
Furthermore the juvenile that they grow in
the other growing storage usually comes from different hatchery. It is normal
thing to do as new farmers usually do not have any juvenile to grow at all.
That is why, new farmer will purchase juvenile from other hatchery and use it
as the starter animal on their farm. They usually choose hatchery that is known
to have shrimp with delicious freshwater shrimp
taste so they will be able to produce the same taste in their farm.
For
the farm itself, they are able to dig it easily as the method is very similar
to the digging method that they use in the making process of catfish pond. Then
again freshwater shrimp is also able to be growing inside aquarium, water tank,
or even swimming pool so they would not have any difficulties in creating the
growing pond. However, among those selections, the natural growing pond usually
gives the best result and best freshwater shrimp
taste that everyone loves to eat. That is why; it is preferable for them
to grow the freshwater shrimp inside a pond compared to the other storage that
we have mentioned before.
When it comes to the freshwater shrimp taste, you might be able to realize that the
freshwater variation taste a little bit sweeter than the marine counterpart.
The reason is because the saltwater shrimp is usually comes in saltier taste
thus it will overpower the meat taste itself. Furthermore the saltier taste
that the marine shrimp has is favor by many because it is more satisfying when
eating saltier food. However, you can actually create the same taste even when
you use freshwater shrimp. What you need to do is to season the shrimp
correctly so it still has the same taste. Furthermore you can actually taste
the freshwater shrimp meat more.
