Why are there so few fresh sardines?
1, perishable
One of the characteristics of sardines is that they are perishable. Because they are rich in fat and protein, they are not suitable for long-distance transportation, and their own value determines that they are not suitable for expensive cold chains.
Large quantity, perishable, high transportation cost, fresh sardines can not be seen in the market outside the place of origin.
2, easy to die
Another characteristic of sardines is that they cannot be transported as fresh food. It's too easy to die.
Even on the way back to the dock from the sea, sardines will die in large numbers due to lack of oxygen and other reasons, so fishermen who catch sardines often add a natural enemy fish to the water tank where sardines are stored, so that sardines can swim constantly, thus reducing the possibility of death.
3. It is better to make canned food.
Sardines, like carp, have many fine spines and are easy to get stuck in the throat when eating. However, after canning, you can't feel the fishbone when you eat canned food, because the fishbone becomes soft in the process of high-temperature cooking, and sardines are canned near the fishing area, which not only preserves the wonderful taste of sardines to the greatest extent, but also saves transportation costs.
