The third is that after the artificially bred soft-shelled turtle is processed and cooked, the carapace will be broken as soon as it is bitten with its teeth, and the bone is very loose, while the wild carapace is very hard, which is absolutely different from the raised. If you pay attention to the above points when buying soft-shelled turtles, it is difficult for deceivers to deceive consumers even if they apply paint such as fish gall or excessive acid nails on the soft-shelled turtle.

Fourth, due to the high value of wild soft-shelled turtles and large market demand, they are often caught before they reach adulthood, so it is difficult to see more than one pound of soft-shelled turtles on the market. If it exceeds this weight, consumers should be more careful to observe the skills of selecting soft-shelled turtles: one look, two touches, three catches, four to five, check six, and try to see:
