Grilled fish is a delicious food that we often eat. In the food streets of major cities, grilled fish shops can be seen everywhere, especially the shopping malls and food stalls in first-tier cities, which are always crowded. In the final analysis, grilled fish tastes good and meets the public's taste. However, do you often have this kind of confusion? When you go to a grilled fish shop, you don't know what kind of fish to choose. Today, I will give you a detailed introduction to the differences between several kinds of fish commonly found in grilled fish shops.

No matter which grilled fish shop we go into, we can find many kinds of grilled fish in the menu. In terms of taste, there are spicy grilled fish, garlic-flavored grilled fish, spicy grilled fish, hot and sour grilled fish, sauce-flavored grilled fish and so on. Of course, there are many kinds of fish to choose from, such as Qingjiang fish, Songjiang fish, grass carp and Mekong fish.

Let's analyze it from the perspective of fish first. What fish is suitable for grilled fish?

I don't know if you have noticed that the types of fish are changing in the menus of major grilled fish shops. I've never seen anyone have pomfret or salmon. In fact, there is no special reason for this, mainly because golden pomfret, salmon and other fish have excellent meat quality and are not suitable for grilled fish.

At present, in addition to Qingjiang fish, Songjiang fish, grass carp and Mekong fish, some shops also use carp, catfish and tilapia. From the taste of these fish, it is hard to say which fish is absolutely more delicious. After all, everyone has their own standards and preferences. But I can briefly introduce the characteristics of several kinds of fish, so that everyone can better refer to the way of eating grilled fish.

First of all, let's talk about the most popular type of grilled fish-grass carp.

Grass carp is the most common fish in our daily life, and it is also used in many fish dishes in China. Mainly because grass carp has high yield and relatively cheap price. If we start from the history of grass carp, its breeding history is 1700 years ago. After such a long period of development, grass carp has gained a high status in China, and together with silver carp, bighead carp and herring, it constitutes the famous "Four Big Fish" in China.

So, why is grass carp suitable for grilled fish? Mainly because grass and fish are tender, delicate and even, with the characteristics of high protein and low fat, they are not only suitable for barbecue, but also suitable for all kinds of cooking and frying, and their nutritional value is quite high. But grass carp has a shortcoming that we can hardly tolerate, that is, it has many thorns and is particularly annoying to eat. This is also the reason why many impatient people abandon grass carp directly and choose other fish.

Next, talk about Qingjiang fish.

Qingjiang fish should be a popular grilled fish besides grass carp. So, what exactly is Qingjiang fish? I believe many people subconsciously think it is a kind of fish. Actually, it is not. "Qingjiang fish" is not a species of fish, but a brand of fish, which refers to the fish produced in Qingjiang reservoir area of Hubei Province and is known as "the province of thousands of lakes". The main species are Qingjiang Black Catfish, Red Catfish, Pelteobagrus fulvidraco and Jiangtuan.

So what are the characteristics of Qingjiang fish? You can't describe the characteristics of Qingjiang fish in general. If we have to sum up, we can only say that the water quality in Qingjiang reservoir area is clear.
