That's the fish in the river. They all grow naturally. Silver carp doesn't need to be seasoned, so it can be stewed with home sauce, firewood and large iron pot. At that time, all the fish found their own food and grew naturally. All kinds of fish kings are available every year. The rapid growth of silver carp is the result of eating high-quality food today. Even the fish belly we ate when we were young (now called fish belly) is fatter than the head of silver carp now. At that time, the fish brain and fish oil in the head of silver carp were the best rewards in the era of material shortage. Therefore, silver carp head (fish) ranks first among common freshwater fish. It is precisely because the brain of silver carp is full of fat that it is called a kind of fragrance-Gaga fragrance.
Grass carp tastes better than silver carp. After all, it is much smaller. Slender figure. Swim fast. But the power in water is much smaller. The meat yield of grass carp is higher than that of silver carp. A fish's stomach is full of meat except the slender swim bladder and a little internal organs. And has few burrs. Meat is transparent and solid. No taste. It is the new favorite of the current boiling series. But grass carp didn't get such high treatment before. The reason is thin, with more meat and less oil. It doesn't taste so sweet. When I was a child, I really didn't know that besides fragrance, there was also the word fresh to describe the taste. Therefore, the waist is used to describe grass carp in rural areas, which is the highest meat yield among ordinary freshwater fish. Eat more meat and waste less. In this era of thrift, thrift is not just a virtue.
Mullet is called mullet stick in our mountain. Fish was difficult to catch at that time. Snakeheads eat meat, often ambush small fish and waterfowl, and they are all muscular. Swimming is extremely fast, and its whereabouts are relatively secret. Especially strong in water. Being beaten by a snakehead, I was twisted with pain. Be sure to hurt you when landing. But the meat yield of this fish is a little higher than that of grass carp. The meat is crystal clear. Everyone in the mountain knows that this fish tastes best in a pot. Fish bones and fish heads are fried in large oil and stewed over high fire. That's called delicious. Sprinkle some stupid coriander and slice the old cucumber. Fish fillets are directly mixed with Chili oil and fried first. Hot and sour and refreshing. Eating fish soup is really refreshing.
Black fish head has no meat. But snakehead is fried in big oil and stewed in hot water, which is extremely delicious. Using it to entertain guests is to watch shivering and drink delicious food. So you can't choose the skull of mullet. Fish head bone soup is delicious. This is the host's way of hospitality. Don't be picky, because cooking soup with fish heads and bones is snubbing your guests. Actually, this is the essence of snakehead practice.
To sum up, the price of fish in the market is more stable than that of local porcupines. The variety is also very rich, and the stall owner enthusiastically helps clean up the fish. Save worry and effort. The seasoning is still all. But I just can't taste my childhood.
For freshwater fish, it is a frequent visitor on our table and our favorite meat in daily life. Fish is delicious, delicate and nutritious. There is also an old folk saying that eating four legs is better than eating two legs, eating two legs is better than eating birds, and eating birds is better than eating fish. Eating fish is very beneficial to our health. Fish are not only colorful, but also different parts of fish are different according to different fish.
There is a saying: bighead, grass carp tail, silver carp belly. It is said that this is the best part of these four kinds of freshwater fish, and bighead carp is the big head. This kind of fish head is plump and tender, and it is the best fish head. Neither. The tail of grass carp and the belly of silver carp are the most delicious ingredients. In addition to this well-known saying, don't pick the head of silver carp, the waist of grass carp and the skull of mullet, which also refers to the most delicious part of a fish.
Silver carp head: Silver carp, also known as bighead carp and chubby fish, is named for its many somersaults. Silver carp has a gray body and a huge head, which can account for more than one third of its body weight. The meat on the fish head is delicate and smooth, and the meat quality is particularly tender and plump. The most important thing to eat silver carp is. Except the fish head, the meat quality of other parts of silver carp is not so tender, and it is often made into fish balls or other ingredients. Fish head is the best. Eat it.
Grass carp waist: Grass carp is also a kind of freshwater fish that we like very much. It has a long body shape and is used for streamlining the body. Grass carp eat a lot. After a day's exercise, it kept looking for food. The huge activity has made grass carp strong in waist, waist and tail. Because of regular exercise, the meat is tight and the taste is elastic. Taste and mouthfeel are the most delicious and sweet in grass carp. Might as well eat half a grass carp.
Skull of mullet: In the past, there was a saying that carp head, carp waist and Hei Bang skull were used as firewood. What does this mean? Before eating fish heads, when there were no silver carp and bighead, carp heads were used. Crucian carp naturally eats the waist, while mullet heads are all bones, with little meat and little value, so they can only be used as firewood. It's different now. Although mullet head has less meat, it is the best material for soup as the mullet head with the most bones.
"Don't pick silver carp head, grass carp loin and mullet head", which can be heard normally in rural areas, has a simple meaning: silver carp head, grass carp loin and mullet head are all excellent ingredients, each with different cooking methods, which are extremely delicious, so they are very popular with the public.
In rural areas, silver carp, grass carp and mullet rarely go to the dinner table once. For those rural people who are facing the loess and facing the sky, it is simply extravagant to eat silver carp head, grass carp waist or mullet skull once. Later, with the improvement of economic level, these three delicacies became more and more common in rural banquets.
Silver carp head: the practice of chopping pepper fish head, the enjoyment on the tip of the tongue. Silver carp is one of the traditional "four big fish" in China. Every year, countless wild silver carp spawn and breed upstream along the Yangtze River. In some places, silver carp is also called chubby fish, bighead carp and silver carp. These naming methods are all named according to the phenotypic characteristics of silver carp. For example, silver carp has a big head, a bloated body and a darker color than silver carp.
The scientific name of silver carp is bighead carp, which feeds on zooplankton in water. The distance between gill rakes of silver carp is very small, and it can continuously filter water to get food. The reason why silver carp head has become a well-known delicacy is mainly related to the famous dish "Fish Head with Chopped Pepper".
The method of making fish head with chopped pepper is to clean silver carp, make two cuts on the fish body with a knife, apply ginger and pour cooking wine, and marinate for about 10 minutes. After the water in the pot is boiled, the chopped pepper and the fat fish head are steamed together for 12 minutes, then turn off the fire and wait for another three minutes.
Of course, there are still differences in details in different regions, but the taste is needless to say, it is simply a must, and people still want to eat it!
Grass carp tenderloin: Grass carp is more familiar with its compact meat, elastic taste and delicious taste. It is very common in the north and south of China, and it is also one of the "four big fish", also known as pomfret and grass carp, and is called grass roots in the northeast.
It is not difficult to see from the name of grass carp that grass carp is a typical herbivorous fish and likes to eat the tender leaves of various plants. But you may not know that grass carp is not a strict "vegetarian" in its infancy, and many small animals such as larvae and earthworms in aquatic insects are also on the grass carp's diet.
The loin of grass carp accounts for the vast majority of the body meat, which is more compact and even tastes like playing with teeth. No matter from the taste or taste, grass carp tenderloin is the freshest and best, impeccable. For a grass carp, only by eating the meat at the waist can you taste the essence.
Don't pick the skull of mullet: there is little meat, but it can be used to make soup. Snakehead is actually what we often call snakehead. Some places are also called raw fish, gifted scholar fish, dutiful son fish and rotor. It is a very fierce carnivorous fish.
In the pond, snakehead is a tough character and can kill almost other small fish. In the past, farmers regarded snakehead as a thorn in their side. Once snakehead is mixed into the pond, it means that the output of this pond will definitely be greatly reduced. But now, snakehead has also become a kind of breeding variety, with an average yield of over 10,000 Jin per mu, which is considerable in Guangdong and other places.
Mullet has few spines and is a good material for making grilled fish and pickled fish. The mullet head has less meat, and this part is most suitable for soup. The boiled soup is milky white, delicious and delicious, which makes people want to stop. Mullet soup is also a rare tonic for postpartum women, which has the effects of enriching blood and promoting granulation, nourishing and recuperating, strengthening spleen and promoting diuresis.
To sum up, people have formed unique cooking methods for different ingredients in long-term production practice. For common freshwater fish, the meat quality and practices of different parts are very different. "Silver carp head, grass carp waist and mullet head" are just three typical examples.
It must be said that the wisdom of ordinary people is infinite. In the field of "eating", hard-working people have never stopped exploring, which is really admirable!
If you have different opinions, please point them out for discussion!
This sentence should not be a rural proverb, but the consensus of people who love to eat fish.
Everyone knows that the four major freshwater fish in China are green grass, silver carp and bighead carp. This sentence includes two of the four major freshwater fish-grass carp and bighead carp.
As a person living and growing up by the sea, freshwater fish don't eat much, but grass carp, silver carp, bighead carp and snakehead (that is, snakehead) often eat it. This is due to the popularity of Sichuan cuisine and Hunan cuisine, and the popular Lijiang grouper pot.
Why not choose silver carp head, grass carp waist and mullet skull? First, silver carp head.
Second, grass carp waist
Third, don't pick the skull of mullet.
Conclusion: Don't pick the head of silver carp, the waist of grass carp and the skull of mullet. This proverb is actually an "experience talk" summed up by people who love to eat fish. Can be said to be a particularly reasonable sentence? Come uninvited!
As the saying goes, when eating fish, which part is the best to eat the most nutritious, corresponding to the season, eat the corresponding part! In order to eat the best taste and nutrition.
Silver carp is not as active as silver carp! It likes to stay in the middle layer of water for most of its life and seldom swims, so most of its nutrients are stored in its head!
But the same avatar is different all year round! The taste is the best, and the highest nutritional content is in winter. Eating fish in the countryside has always been a saying: eat head in winter, tail in summer and paddle (fin) in spring and autumn, so it is best to eat silver carp head in winter!
Grass carp, hence its name, mainly eats grass. Grass carp mainly consumes its own fat in winter and early spring all year round. Due to the lack of forage in winter and early spring, grass carp will become thinner and thinner if no other feed is added in winter. However, if you choose to eat grass carp tenderloin at this time, you will not achieve the best results in terms of meat tenderness and nutrients!
I believe most farmers know that the grass grows most vigorously in the long summer after the spring and March! So the longest time for grass carp is the rainy season from Tomb-Sweeping Day to May and June!
However, in the rainy season from March in spring to May and June in the lunar calendar, due to the suitable water temperature, the fish have the largest activity during this period, and they keep swinging their fins and waist and abdomen during the activity, so if you want to eat the fattest grass carp waist, it is also in this period!
Before liberation, there was a special group in China-child brides. Child brides have to do all the housework, and they will be beaten and scolded by their in-laws from time to time. They can only eat leftovers at home!
According to the elders, at that time, I scolded the child bride for how much she could eat: a fish head with three pieces of meat and a pot with three bowls of rice! How much do outsiders think this child bride can eat? Actually, it's not, but all the child brides don't have enough to eat! A fish head here has three pieces of meat, but there is actually only one fish head! And a bowl of pot and three bowls of rice is actually a pot!
Here, a fish head with three pieces of meat, the most representative is the black fish head! You know, snakehead has a piece of meat on each cheek. These two pieces of meat are tight and delicious! The other piece of meat is above the forehead, which is also extremely delicious. You can't pick the skull of mullet.
In fact, eating fish all year round is also very particular: eating the head (fat) in winter, eating the tail (live meat) in summer and paddling (fins) in spring and autumn, and eating the corresponding parts in the corresponding seasons can eat the most delicious taste ...!
Generally, silver carp heads are the most popular. Not only mainlanders like to eat, but also coastal areas like to eat. Moreover, this kind of fish grows fast and its price is cheaper than seafood. The bigger the silver carp, the better it tastes, but the water quality of modern fish, whether it is seafood or not, is very important. You'd better identify the old customers when you buy it, and they will tell you what kind of fish it is. This kind of fish is best grown in reservoirs or lakes with good water quality. The better the water quality, the better the taste. The first two methods of silver carp; Tang Bao also has braise in soy sauce, and the practice is whole brain! Grass carp is a low-grade fish in Danshui River. Its head is small and delicious, and the second row of teeth on its head stinks. The chef must clean the teeth on its head. This kind of fish is tender and can't be cooked for long. Now the restaurant is promoting the practice of pickled fish, so more people eat and the price is cheaper. Of course, this grass carp must eat the waist, the head and tail are too small, and the taste and smell are not good until the teeth are pulled out. Most family practices are mainly braised pork and fish pieces. Snakehead is the best meat and the best fish in seafood. Its head has no meat and its bones are hard. The family practice of snakehead is mainly Tang Bao and braise in soy sauce. Generally, the soup is made from the skin of head and tail ribs, and it is best to put a packet of fried silk, but most family practices are mainly braised! But restaurants are different. There are many ways to do it. Because the flesh of snakehead is tight and there are no small thorns, it can be sliced and shredded, fried, made into sweet and sour or vinegar, made into pickled fish and so on. Its meat is not fragile, but this kind of fish had better be wild. But the chef can do it, but the family can't do it well. The farmed meat is very crisp! ! ! So the rural saying; You can't pick the head of silver carp, the waist of grass carp and the skull of snakehead. Very interesting!
Silver carp head and grass carp waist are really delicious. As for mullet head, I really don't know whether mullet head is delicious or meaty, because I have never eaten or seen it. Let me talk about silver carp head and grass carp waist. To tell the truth, when I was growing up in Jilin, I really didn't eat fish, especially this big fish. Usually, we usually eat small miscellaneous fish such as willow roots and string nails in rural rivers and ditches, because these small miscellaneous fish are delicious, especially when cooking. I don't eat this big fish, it has a strong taste in my mouth. But since I came to work in Heilongjiang, I gradually began to eat some river fish, such as white fish, rabbit fish, bream flower and crucian carp melon seeds, and occasionally stewed a fish head or ordered a fish ball. People who like to eat fish know that different kinds of fish have different characteristics and tastes in different parts, among which silver carp head is the most distinctive.
In our northeast, there is a famous dish that is more delicious than fish head cake. Among them, the fish head is silver carp head, which is called fat head in northeast China and is also very famous. The chubby fish has a big head, which is smaller than other fish. Generally speaking, fish head cake is made from the head of a chubby fish weighing more than 4 kg. This kind of fish head is big, with more meat on the head and more contents in the head, which makes it more delicious. Cut the fish head in the middle, but don't cut it off. Stewed with sugar, rice vinegar, onion, ginger and minced garlic, and finally thrown into fish soup, cut into small pieces of bread, which is a delicious dish. It is said that there is also the practice of stewing fish heads with pickled peppers, but I have never eaten them. In addition, you can add some thinly cut northeast tofu when stewing fish heads. When eating, you will find that the taste of fish head is absorbed by tofu, and tofu is even more delicious than fish head.
For grass carp, it is also one of the more common fish species in China. Grass carp mainly feed on grass, especially wild grass carp growing in rivers, reservoirs and rivers. Sometimes, in order to eat fresh grass leaves, it is necessary for the waist and tail to jump out of the water to chew the grass leaves, which makes the meat quality of the waist and tail of grass carp particularly fresh and tender. In the words of ordinary people, "the meat at the waist and tail is live meat." Therefore, many people say that eating grass carp should eat the middle and back of the fish, which is also more scientific. If you eat wild grass carp, you will stew milky soup, but many people will order some soy sauce to color it if they don't like this color. So eating grass carp needs to eat the middle and back of the fish.
As for mullet head, I really haven't seen it or eaten it, so I won't be careless. Understanding friends can add.
These are my views on this issue. If there is anything wrong, please let me know.
There is a saying in the countryside that you can't pick the head of silver carp, the waist of grass carp and the skull of mullet. What does this mean? My daughter-in-law grew up in the countryside, and she said:
When I was a child, there was a river not far from my home. Her grandfather was still in good health in those years. When he is free, he will cast a net in the river. When you are lucky, you can salvage some small fish, mostly small crucian carp.
Because in those years, there was farmland at home and parents had to work in the fields. Grandpa is old, so he doesn't have to go to the fields, so he takes care of three meals a day at home. He often casts a net to fish, goes out after lunch, goes home to pick up small crucian carp after salvaging it, and gives us extra meals at dinner.
Grandpa's approach is also relatively simple. Fry in the oil pan until golden on both sides, then braise in soy sauce until cooked. A large pot of braised crucian carp, one for each brother and sister, although the small crucian carp had many thorns, it was a delicious meal for her at that time;
My daughter-in-law likes to eat fish because of her childhood habits. She doesn't pick any fish. After marriage, because of lifestyle reasons, the daughter-in-law doesn't understand eating fish heads. She always finds eating fish heads boring.
And listen to my mother, a fat fish head weighs three pounds, and the price is not cheap, so every time I eat fish head at home, my daughter-in-law will talk to me, and it is better to buy a fish head for more than 30 yuan.
Today, I saw this question from the topic: Don't pick the head of silver carp, don't pick the waist of grass carp and don't pick the skull of mullet, which reminds me of my daughter-in-law's attitude towards eating fish. It dawned on me that it turned out to be like this:
1. First of all, there are differences between urban and rural areas. When my daughter-in-law was young, in the countryside, grandpa went to the river to cast a net to catch fish. Although he spent time and labor, he didn't spend money. From another angle, it can be understood that relying on mountains to eat mountains and relying on water to eat water is happiness and a gift from heaven;
2. After coming to the city, her attitude towards eating fish has not changed, that is to say, her worldview of these worlds has not been revised in time, and she treats the attitude of urban people to eat fish with the attitude of relying on mountains to eat water and draft when she was a child;
3. Tell me why my mother likes to eat fish heads. This should start with group cognition. In my mother's world, eating fish or wanting to eat anything delicious is all about money, not my daughter-in-law's state in the countryside, and casting a net can make up the fish;
4. Since you spend money on fish, you will have all kinds of concerns. What do you care about? This can be understood as how to maximize benefits. It can also be said that it is the most cost-effective purchase possibility. Take bighead carp as an example. We call it chubby fish because of group cognition. In my mother's eyes, she was also influenced by everyone and practiced many times. Finally, it is found that bighead carp is the best to eat fish head. On the contrary, the fish of bighead carp is really not very delicious.
5. My daughter-in-law hasn't changed like this group cognition. To paraphrase a proverb, if she wasn't in charge, she didn't know that rice, oil and salt were expensive. When my daughter-in-law becomes a woman, she will naturally be influenced by group cognition because of long-term practice and will change involuntarily;
There is a saying in the countryside that you can't pick the head of silver carp, the waist of grass carp and the skull of mullet. What does this mean?
There is a saying about eating fish in the countryside, which can be said to be a summary of food in daily life, which is equivalent to telling everyone how to eat fish through proverbs. For example, eating silver carp, which is what I call chubby fish, group cognition tells us that the best place to eat this kind of fish is the fish head. With this understanding, below, we will simply tell you the general meaning of this proverb in rural areas.
1, first of all, explain to you separately, what are silver carp head, grass carp waist and mullet?
Silver carp, also known as bighead carp and bighead carp, is a typical freshwater fish. Its essence lies in the head. In many cuisines, the fish head with chopped pepper can be said to be a representative dish, and most of them use silver carp heads. Compared with the fish head, the other parts of silver carp are not as delicious as the fish head. For silver carp, eating fish head is the best.
2. Grass carp is no stranger to everyone. For grass carp, the most delicious parts are its waist and tail, both of which are "live meat" and taste very delicious;
3, mullet, our side is called Cai Yu, there is also called snakehead. There are no tiny fishbones all over the body. Stewed soup is the first choice. Although the fish is delicious, its head is full of bones, so it is a bit wasteful to cook it in a pot. Many times, eating mullet, the fish head is the most tasteless part;
4. chubby fish, that is, the head of silver carp mentioned by the subject, is white and has a big head. The fish on the head tastes tender. When selling fish in the vegetable market, chubby fish heads are much more expensive than fish bodies, but people are still willing to buy only fish heads. The reason is that although the overall purchase seems economical, most people only eat fish heads, and it is also a waste to buy fish bodies home. So, many times, the owner of the fish stall.
5. Grass carp is bought as a whole, but when eating it, we only look at the taste of the fish without considering various cooking methods. The taste in the second half of grass carp is obviously better than that in the first half, mainly because of its living habits;
6. mullet skulls are all bones, no fish, no value. Most people used to eat fish, so there is such a saying. At present, the main way to eat mullet is to cook soup, and mullet head has a little effect;
At the end of the paper, I want to say a few words. There is a saying that you can't pick the head of silver carp, the waist of grass carp and the skull of mullet. What does this mean?
There are many kinds of freshwater fish, which are widely distributed. In the past, when traffic was inconvenient, people in different provinces might be able to eat several kinds of local freshwater fish. That's why there is such a statement. Its intention is simple and clear, that is, to tell future generations that these kinds of fish are the best to eat like this.
Finally, thank you for reading. You can follow us in the comments section and talk about your opinion. Sharing brings happiness, we are waiting for you in the comment area!
This sentence is common sense of life and experience of eating fish. It means: silver carp head is big and fat, which is the first choice for eating; Grass carp waist, that is, the middle section has the most meat and less thorns, so the waist is the first choice to eat it; The mullet, also called mullet and snakehead, has bones on its head. Don't eat, also can't eat, because there is no meat.
In detail, the heads of the four major fish, including marine fish and freshwater fish, are really no better than silver carp. The head is not only big, but also fat. It is not fat, but the tenderness of collagen. Boil for a few minutes and steam for a few minutes. Delicious, as beautiful as jelly; Nutrition, high protein, less fat, less carbohydrate.
The most common practice of silver carp head is "steaming", because it is too big, so it is not like normal steaming fish. Steam the fish, sprinkle with chopped green onion hot oil and drizzle with soy sauce. This dish should adopt the method of Hunan cuisine and Sichuan cuisine, steam with pickled peppers, suppress the fishy smell, make it delicious, and serve appetizers.
Besides, grass carp waist. Grass carp, nicknamed "grass carp stick" because of its size, is a big meat stick. Don't even think about it Pinch your head to your tail and take the middle. The middle part is the best. Do not cook fancy dishes, fry until both sides are brown, add onion and ginger liqueur, add water and stew for half an hour, adjust the salt and light, turn off the heat and take out. It is delicious.
As for the black fish head, the traditional custom in our hometown is to chop it up and throw it away, and no one cooks it. Later, snakehead was more expensive than crucian carp, even several times more expensive. When buying snakehead, I can't bear to throw away the fish head and cook it together. However, the effect is very bad, completely destroying a delicious food. This pot of fish head dishes is ugly and looks like leftovers. It tastes uncomfortable, too. The head of snakehead is not a bone. When it is cooked, it becomes a mess of fishbones, making the basin full of fishbones.
Later, I tried to study that black fish heads have meat on both cheeks. Therefore, when cleaning up, first scrape off the scales on your cheeks, then gouge out one piece of meat on one side and throw away the rest.
This sentence is said in our hometown: "the edge of bream, the ridge of crucian carp, the skin of chubby head." The chubby pomfret here refers to silver carp, also known as bighead carp, which is grass carp. As for the snakehead in question, we call it snakehead. There is no meat in the skull of snakehead, only a little muscle in the gills. If someone wants to eat, people will say that it is to dig a snakehead's face to eat meat, which is a metaphor for young people eating old ladies.
I remember when I was a child, adults and children there called the fish there that way. Herring is called herring. As for grass carp, Wuchang fish and so on, this is because the scale of breeding has expanded and traders from other provinces have come, and their names have influenced everyone. This is also a good communication and an improvement.
Let's talk about the meaning of this sentence Silver carp, also known as chubby fish, eats a big fish head. Earlier, the fish market in my hometown divided a whole fish into head and body. Cut it open with a knife and bring some belly meat to the fish head. The price of fish head is much higher than that of fish body.
The fish head with silver carp and pepper tastes really good. Eating fish head is not eating brain marrow, but the sticky glue of the whole fish head, which is particularly fresh and smooth. Experienced masters make it without smell. Almost everyone likes this dish.
In the original words, grass carp waist still refers to the delicious part of grass carp. In fact, for grass carp, all parts of the body are thicker and it is not delicious to cook. Especially the grass carp that is intensively raised now has a lot of water and a light meat taste. It is not good to eat anywhere. Fish that have been raised for a year or two and are mainly forage grass are delicious fish skins. There is a lot of gum in the fish skin, and red lean meat is attached when it is uncovered. Pickled salted fish, steamed out of the pot, eating a piece of grass carp skin is better than half a catty of fish.
Finally, a brief talk about bream crucian carp. The bream is Wuchang fish, and its authentic body is wider. Nowadays, many people also call it "Megalobrama amblycephala", and these fish really eat its belly meat best. It is also a soft, waxy, fat but not greasy feeling. Crucian carp eat ridges, which is easy to understand. Not only less thorns, but also sweet meat.
This is my answer to this proverb about eating fish. Friends who like to eat fish can refer to it, but don't choose delicious food. There is only one fish on a table, and you have to take care of others!
