How to store live crayfish

When eating crayfish, everyone prefers to eat fresh crayfish, because fresh crayfish tastes better, but many people don’t know when they buy crayfish. How to raise crayfish now? Because crayfish are seafood, we don’t have a living environment with seawater at home, so we can only let crayfish live in fresh water. So how to store live crayfish?

The saving method is as follows:

(1) After buying live crayfish, you can put them directly in a basin of water, add a little salt and a few drops of cooking oil, and do not feed them anything. They can be kept for two or three days. This will not only keep the crayfish fresh, but also allow them to spit out all the mud and sand in their bodies.

(2) It is better to use foam boxes for storage. Plastic foam boxes are both breathable and windproof. Arrange the crayfish in rows with their bellies facing down (they are more likely to die if their bellies face up). Put about 30 kilograms of crayfish in each box. Rinse them with clean water, then add shaved ice (smash the ice into small pieces). Add 4-5 kilograms of ice to each box, then cover it with a lid and stack it. Add ice once in the morning and once in the evening. This storage method can store crayfish for 5 days to 1 week.

(3) After rinsing the crayfish, pour them directly into a pool or glass tank with an air pump for oxygenation. Don't put too many crayfish. Change the water in the morning and evening. This storage method can store crayfish for 5-10 days.
