In the middle and late August of 2009, a hotel in Beijing advertised in the media and sold a pair of red-billed sole bellies for 380,000 yuan. Mr. Wei Peixi, director of the Beijing area of the hotel, said that the fish maw, also known as fish glue, is actually a dried fish maw. The belly in the "abalone belly" that people often say refers to the fish belly. Because the fishing chance of red-billed flounder is extremely small, things are rare. With the rise of the most market price, the belly of red-billed flounder on the market is almost several hundred thousand yuan, so the hotel's pricing is not high.

In mid-August, 2009, fishermen in Zhanjiang caught 33 red-billed flounder, which is rare for thousands of years. Wei Peixi, the director of the hotel at that time, was in Zhanjiang. After learning the news, he immediately spent a lot of money to snap up eight sets, but four of them have been bought. Mr. Wei said that because there are many successful people and strong purchasing power in Beijing, the owner of the * * * hotel shipped six red-billed flounder to Beijing, of which only three were fish bellies. Among the three pairs of fish bellies, the larger pair is estimated to be 380,000 yuan and 280,000 yuan respectively after cooking, and the smaller pair is priced at 6,543.8+0.8 million yuan, and the small portion will be sold separately. The fish of these six red-billed flounders also sold for 698 yuan per catty, and more than half of the fish with a total of more than 400 kilograms have been sold.

Consumer groups

Mr. Hu said that when the red-billed plaice had just arrived in Beijing, customers had already called to ask. "People who can't tell what identity will come to buy it." Mr. Wei said. First of all, the price of fish belly is a hurdle. Without strong economic strength, you can't afford it. In addition, even if you have money, people who are not interested in food will not come to taste it. According to many years of experience in seafood catering, he believes that customers who taste fish bellies should be successful gourmets.
