There are differences between male and female carp, but the difference is not obvious. Carp is boiled in a pot, so it is difficult to distinguish between male and female in taste. Friends who often go to the market to buy fish know that, generally speaking, male and female carp are different in size, the female fish is short and round, the male fish is slender, and the abdomen of the female fish is larger than that of the male fish during spawning.

Some people like to eat female carp, but they actually go for their eggs. Carp seeds are rich in nutrients, protein and amino acids, which are beneficial to health, especially for children. Caviar is also a delicious dish, which is cooked with eggs, fried caviar, dried caviar and so on. Fried fish seeds with eggs, wrapped in corn bean curd skin or rolled up have a unique flavor. Stir-fry shallots and millet peppers in an oil pan, pour in fish eggs, cook a little cooking wine, stir fry quickly and disperse, add egg liquid, continue to stir fry until the egg liquid solidifies, and finally add salt and chicken essence to taste.

Dry pot roe: roe is marinated with yellow wine and salt; Cut ginger, onion, garlic and pepper into small pieces; Heat oil in a wok, add ginger slices, shredded onion and garlic slices to stir fry, add pepper and roe to stir fry, add soy sauce and sugar, soak roe in broth, and collect chopped leek.

Friends who don't like fish seeds can choose male carp. Because carp has a strong earthy smell, it is generally considered to be braised and dried, and the strong smell is enough to cover up the fishy smell of carp itself.
