The general consensus is that chub is tastier than white chub.

Because the chub meat is delicate, the head is large and rich in gelatin, the white chub meat is slightly loose, the taste is light and tasteless, sometimes with earthy odor, and the fresh taste is not as good as the chub, like to eat chub is more people, so chub tends to have a higher price than the white chub fish, so the price is higher.

Difference between chub and white chub

1, from the living environment, chub in the upper layer of the waters, to diatoms, green algae and other phytoplankton for food. Chub inhabits the middle and upper layers of the waters, feeding on zooplankton such as daphnia.

2, from the size of the head, chub and silver carp head are very large, but the chub's head is more bigger, can account for 1/2 of the body or even more, so the chub is also known as the "big head fish" or "fat head fish".

3, from the fish body scale color, chub body is black spots, and chub is all white scale, no black spots, this is easier to distinguish.
