For the blackfish is now the majority of food is more familiar with a kind of fish. And like many restaurants in the signature dish boiled fish, pickled fish or grilled fish used to blackfish. The meat of this fish is very firm, and there are few thorns, and the nutritional value is also high. So it is loved by many people.

And about the blackfish in some places there is a custom, that is, if the parents have a birthday, then the children will give the old man a blackfish. This is because in the folk in the past, they believe that the blackfish is a very filial fish.

Because when the female blackfish hatch their babies, the mother can't forage for food because they will be temporarily blind for a period of time, so some of the newly hatched blackfish babies will take the initiative to swim into the mother's mouth, so that he can eat them until he regains his sight.

So it is because of the baby blackfish sacrifice themselves to repay the mother's birth grace, so in the folk and blackfish called filial piety fish , so if in the past to the blackfish then, generally will be released, in the folk also has, in the parents birthday send blackfish such a saying, in order to repay the parents of the grace of parental upbringing.

But in fact this is all legend. The blackfish is very good at protecting its children though. When in danger and the baby fish will have the strength with the mother's mouth, but wait until the danger has passed, it will run out of the mouth with the mother again. This is actually its characteristic, because the female blackfish for their own used to be very loving and protective of the male blackfish, but also love the son like life. And sometimes, when the male blackfish is transferred, another female blackfish will be caught in this place, and these are the reasons for this.

So the reason why the blackfish is called a filial fish is actually because in the past the blackfish habits do not understand the result, he is not as good as we folk think. It's just that people have added their own thoughts to him.
