The best month to eat Pipi Shrimp is from April to July each year, when its meat is fullest. Generally speaking, female Pippi shrimps are not as big as their males. Another way to distinguish between male and female is that usually, the female Pippi shrimp will have a white "king" on the neck, and the male Pippi shrimp has a thin claw under the big claw, which can be popular. The words "gong's long beard" to distinguish. Generally, when buying, the merchant has already distinguished the pipi prawns according to the male and female, so you can't choose them casually. The price of the male is cheaper than the female. The female has seeds inside, and the male's meat is fatter, so you can choose according to your personal taste. When I buy Pippi shrimps, half of the males and half of the females are usually purchased together, so that the merchants can give more discounts.
