For example mushrooms, freshly ones are more expensive dried ones but dried seafoods are more expensive then freshly ,law ones,and. Also it’s depends on how much care and how many aged And also dried seafoods need many long steps for become dish . In Hong Kong market,there are a lot of dried seafoods , Surprisingly, greatest dried seafoods come from Japan, One old Japanese abalone in good condition price is more than 100,000 yen (around 700USD). Dried Japanese sea squirts, abalone, and shark fins were exported in large quantities from Nagasaki to China during the Edo period. Especially in the Qing dynasty (1644-1911), dried sea squirts, dried abalone, and shark fins were popular as ginseng, ear shells, and shark fins in the newly popular seafood dishes of the time. As a result, exports gradually increased after the Genroku period (27~42 Kangxi, 1688~1703) in Japan, and were consumed especially in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China. In the late Qing dynasty (1644~1703), the fish was transported further inland, and the consumption of sea ginseng, ear shells, and fish wings increased, and they were a popular item on the tables of the Qing people. So Most of them, exported to Hong Kong and China via trading companies,And It is difficult to purchase them domestically.I would like to share about this when I back to Japan and try to create new dish through this experience,thank you so much @discoverhongkong @yanwei525 @chefvickycheng @vea_hk @wingrestaurant_hk」6月27日 14時53分
