But for people who know the goods, the cone fish is a kind of freshwater fish that can be called a masterpiece. Although it looks like a loach fish, it is not a loach fish, but related to perch. Because knife loach belongs to Perciformes, Sea urchins, but loach fish belongs to Cypriniformes, Misguridae and Misgurnus.
Moreover, the cone fish meat is particularly delicious and delicate, containing nutrients, and it is gradually favored by good friends who eat it. In my hometown, there is also a saying that "if you marry a wife, you have to marry a big ass, and if you eat fish, you have to eat saury". Because it is delicious and nutritious, it is especially suitable for men.
The second kind of oxtail fish. As can be seen from its name, this fish should look like a cow's tail. Actually, it's true. Oxtail fish is long and thin. At first glance, it really looks like oxtail. In folk customs, many people call it this way, which leads to many people not knowing its alias. Carassius dahe, the scientific name of oxtail fish, is a fish of Carassius family, which lives in large and medium-sized sea areas. This kind of fish looks a bit like diced yellow pepper, which Hunan people like to eat. They have no fish scales all over their bodies, but their bodies are long and thin, especially golden yellow, which looks particularly eye-catching, so it is easy to distinguish.
Oxtail fish is a carnivorous fish, which mainly feeds on benthos. Generally, fish species that eat meat are delicious, and so are oxtail fish, which is a rare top delicacy. It tastes delicate and delicious, and has high use value. It is usually eaten in soup or stew.
The third kind of crab. Nowadays, many people love to eat hairy crabs, and it has become a choice for many people to give gifts to relatives. However, there were no hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake before. They usually go to the mountains to catch some natural mountain crab, or catch Ponzi around swamps and fields. Ponzi, in particular, is a kind of "pest" in rice fields because of its large number, so it is often caught and eaten by farmers. When it rains at dusk, bring a flashlight and a bucket, and you can catch most cans in a short time.
Let's not underestimate Pipponzi. Although it is smaller and has a hard shell outside, there is no meat at all. But if it can be cooked, it will be delicious, which can be called "the wonders of the world" in folklore. Ponzi eats in a variety of ways. It can be fried directly as a snack or pickled directly with wine, which is also the most classic practice. The pickled Ponzi cream is smooth and soluble, and the meat is tender as cheese, so delicious that it can't stop.
The fourth kind of mussel used to be a common shellfish in rural ponds and streams. In my hometown, by the end of the year, the water in the pond is generally used to add fish, also known as "dry pond". In this way, you will find many mussels bigger than your face in the mud. It is no exaggeration for a person to pick up hundreds of pounds in a fish pond. But for mussels, most people don't eat them, because they think they are too dirty, and some people think that mussels contain leeches and taste fishy, so don't eat them.
In fact, this is also their misunderstanding of mussels. Mytilus has a strong regulating effect on water body. Although they grow in soil, they can't survive as long as the water is polluted by the environment. The fishy smell of mussels, or bad taste, is mainly due to negligence. As long as you can cook, the soup is delicious, which is more delicious than many seafood.
The fifth kind of natural wild turtle. Wild soft-shelled turtle has been the top grade of nourishing and keeping in good health since ancient times, and soup and stew are also common in folk customs. Just like last June 6th, there will be a custom of stewed beef with soft-shelled turtle in my hometown.
In the past, the rural network resources were very good. Not only were there many water conservancy hubs, but also wild turtles could be seen on the river. Sometimes when you go to work in paddy fields, you will find wild turtles in the drainage ditch. If you are lucky, you can take them home. I remember when I was a child, my neighbor was a turtle-fishing god. In summer, I often go to the water conservancy hub in front of my house to catch turtles.
But now wild turtles are scarce, and you can meet them with luck. At present, although some people sell them on the market, they are basically raised. Even some migrant workers dressed up in farmers' markets to sell chinemys reevesii, basically from the hands of swindlers.
The sixth kind of fragrant fish is also called Yu Nian in some areas, or fairy fish, sesame oil fish, melon fish, fine scale fish, marine fish and so on. This is a relatively small-scale fish, which generally grows in rivers, and spawns in rivers leading to the sea.
Why is it called fragrant fish? It is because this fish not only has no fishy smell, but also tastes similar to cucumber. Moreover, the life span of this kind of fish is generally not long, usually up and down a year. After laying eggs, it died quickly, so the ancients called it "Yu Nian" according to its characteristics.
The fragrant fish is not big, usually only one or two. After all, its service life is short. But it's delicious. Whether at home or overseas, fragrant fish is a high-grade fish favored by the sales market, especially in Japan, where the influence of fragrant fish is very high. Even if the price is expensive, the demand is still great.
