It's called the horse's mouth fish
It's a small fish, usually weighing less than 1 tael, but a lot of anglers take it as a "favorite".
But the horse's mouth is a small fish, its mouth is very big, the body is long and thin, especially if you look closely, you will find that the mouth of this fish is very similar to the horse's mouth, which is the reason why it is named "horse mouth fish".
The fish is also known as the "Peach Blossom Fish", which some say is named after the peach blossoms that bloom during the breeding season.
However, the mackerel is a fish that is very widely distributed in China and can be found in large rivers, mountain streams and deep valleys.
And don't look at the horse's mouth fish is not big, often one or two is one of their hurdles, the weight of this fish is very difficult to more than one or two, the length of most of the body is about 10CM.
There are a very few that can grow to over 20cm, but they are very rare.
Unbeknownst to me, the mackerel is also a rare fish, and some veteran anglers are particularly fond of it.
On the one hand, this is because the fish is not small, and fishing is very comfortable. At the same time, they like to move in groups, find a good fishing position, then you can fish one by one, very enjoyable.
Like 20 years ago, many streams have this kind of fish, a lot of people use simple homemade fishing tackle, hanging earthworms as bait, a morning can catch up several pounds. It's not a big fish, but it can be more satisfying than catching a big one.
Of course, there is another reason, that is, this fish is very delicious, in the folk even called "freshwater in the aristocrats", see its nutritional value is not low.
More noteworthy is that the horse's mouth fish tastes very fresh, it's small, but it's different from other fish, it's meat is very thick, and the thorns are also small and soft thorns.
If it's fried, it's easy to eat even the bones, which is the most common way to eat mackerel.
And this fish is currently on the market to sell to fifty or sixty dollars a catty, and still can not be found Oh!
