Things are rare and precious, and feelings are kinder because of old age. Most people who often fish don't like fish very much because they are tired of it. However, if you meet some precious freshwater fish, anglers still like to eat them. So, which kind of freshwater fish is the most expensive in China? Next, let's talk about some of the most expensive freshwater fish in China and see how many of them you have eaten or caught.

First, Taishan red scale fish. Taishan red scale fish, also known as anchovy, time scale fish and striped fish, is a rare specialty of Taishan Mountain. It is a small wild fish of Cyprinidae and a rare treasure among fish. It has high medicinal value, tender meat and delicious taste. In 20 12, the wild red scale fish in Taishan has been listed as a national second-class protected animal, so all the red scale fish we see in the market are artificially cultured. The red scale fish in Taishan Mountain is characterized by tender meat, fragrant but not greasy, fresh but not fishy. It can be listed in about two years after breeding, and the market price is generally around per kilogram 1 10,000 yuan. Taishan red-scale fish was once a must-have in imperial cuisine and one of the five major tribute fish.

Second, Heilongjiang mandarin fish. Pomfret, also known as Daurica, is mainly distributed in the Heilongjiang River basin and belongs to the cold-water settled sturgeon family. As one of the paleontological groups preserved in Cretaceous period, Darwinian carp once lived with dinosaurs on the earth, which has precious scientific research value. The individual of mandarin fish is huge, which can reach more than 1000 kg. In ancient times, it was sent to Beijing as a tribute for the royal family to enjoy. The eggs of mandarin fish can be processed into caviar, which is extremely expensive.

Third, the Yangtze river swordfish. The Yangtze river swordfish, also known as Yangtze river swordfish, is flat and long like a knife. It mainly lives in the coastal waters of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, that is, near the estuary of the Yangtze River, and will migrate to Dongting Lake during the breeding season. The Yangtze river swordfish is the first of the "three delicacies of the Yangtze River", and its taste is extremely delicious. However, with overfishing and environmental deterioration, the Yangtze river swordfish has reached the brink of extinction.

Fourth, bow fish. Bowfish is also called Schizothorax in Dali, because it is produced in Erhai Lake in Dali, Yunnan. This kind of fish is shaped like a flying shuttle, with thick scales and fine meat, delicious taste and rich nutrition. In the Tang Dynasty, Bowfish was a tribute from Nanzhao State to Chang 'an, so it was also called "tribute fish". In the 1960s, China also sold tons of salted swordfish to Southeast Asian countries by car. However, after the 1970s, due to the destruction of the ecological environment in Erhai Lake, the output of swordfish decreased sharply, and the swordfish was on the verge of extinction. Bowfish is a rare fish in the world, and it is the most precious of all rare freshwater fish.
