With the increase in the number of vacationers, many of them prefer to eat seafood, and therefore there are many types and shapes of fish in the markets, and one of the most prevalent among them in the previous period was the “limp shrimp” or what is known as “Shekal”, also known as “Shrimp Ghalaba”.
Many people buy it, due to its low price, as a kilo of it costs 10 pounds, and the large size of it reaches 40 pounds.
It is considered one of the most important meals of the Turks and Cypriots of the Mediterranean, as it has very high levels of phosphorous and is abundantly available, especially with its low price.
However, research confirmed that it is not suitable for human consumption, for reasons mentioned by Dr. Aya Jalal El-Din, a researcher at the Animal Health Research Institute in Assiut:
The shekel feeds on crop residues, and has a great ability to absorb pollutants from the Nile waters.
It has a high percentage of heavy metals, cadmium and other microbes, which makes it unfit for consumption.
– It leads to the spread of many diseases in fisheries, because it contains a lot of fungi and bacteria.
