Second, look at the muscle: after peeling, the muscle is white, which is a cuttlefish of high quality. After peeling, the cuttlefish with reddish muscles is of poor quality.
Third, smells: the quality of cuttlefish is good with its inherent faint fishy smell or seawater smell. It is the bad quality cuttlefish that smells strongly.
Apart from fresh cuttlefish, dried cuttlefish is also a favorite method of eating cuttlefish. How should dried cuttlefish be selected? The dried cuttlefish with better quality should have the characteristics of complete body shape, bright and clean, persimmon red or brown-red color, translucent shape, flat and generous meat quality, dry and tough, and fresh flavor.

2. Select dried cuttlefish:
First, it is necessary to judge its softness and hardness. Dried fish of good quality is soft, not stiff, complete and firm in shape, and fleshy. It feels very dry and hard to touch with the hand, and it is usually kept for a long time without any taste.
