The culture of crispy pomfret in Zhongshan has gone through a special process. The first step is to raise fish seedlings. It takes about one year to cultivate a small fish with a weight of about half a catty, and another year to cultivate a fish with a weight of 5 to 7 jins. At this time, it is no different from ordinary pomfret. However, in the third year, if broad beans are fed at a temperature above 25°C, the meat of mandarin fish will gradually become brittle. After 120 days or more of broad bean feeding, a veritable crispy pomfret was formed. Most farmers of crispy pomfret buy back pomfret that has been bred for 2 years to cultivate crispy pomfret.
