Chub are tasty, why don't rural people love to eat chub? Chub fish is cheaper than grass carp and big head fish more than half, so the rural people from the practical point of view, will choose the cheap chub fish, must be the poor material base at that time, not every day you can eat fish, in the past, our local banquets are also often used chub fish, now basically are more than grass carp, the rich will be used fresh sea fish. And in our local area, there is a special way to marinate and seal the meat of chub fish with red currant and anise powder for fermentation, which MY local area calls "hard fish".
This will taste much better and will have a lot of flavor. Now living water chub, must be then poor material base, not every day to eat fish, before our local feasts are also often used chub, now basically more than grass carp, rich will use fresh sea fish. And our local, there is a special way, the chub meat with red currant, anise powder for curing sealed fermentation, MY local called "hard fish". When the level was raised, there was less "hard fish" made with chub, and now it is more with big grass carp. Now, with the improvement of people's living standards and higher and higher material requirements, the decline of silver carp is an inevitable trend. Perhaps only when people no longer breed chub in large quantities and it becomes a rare fish, people will pay attention to chub again. The standard of living has improved and there are more fish to choose from. In the past, every family in the countryside didn't have much money, so they had to settle for something better, but they couldn't. But now rural people are better off and have better financial conditions, and they demand more from life.
In terms of food choices, not only do they want to be full, but they also want to eat well and be healthy. In the past, it was basically carp, silver carp, bighead carp and grass carp that were the choices, and the silver carp was the cheapest and the most cost-effective. Folklore is that the bighead carp is a hairy fish. In the farmers' hometowns, many old and young people, as well as those with chronic illnesses, do not eat bighead carp. Many people will ask what kind of fish it is before they eat it. If it is chub, they will not move their chopsticks. This is because in many places there are chub fish is hairy and you can get sick if you eat it.
