Although many gourmets believe that freshwater fish has a strong smell and many spines and is not as delicious as marine fish, the yellow spicy diced fish (yellow catfish) in freshwater fish is sought after by almost all diners.

Moreover, there is also a kind of yellow spicy diced that lives in the mountains. It is not big, but the meat is tender and smooth, and the taste is indescribably delicious. Some people call it "the most delicious kind of yellow spicy diced".

Waspfish swim and play along streams. Because they have extremely high water quality requirements, they almost never appear in large rivers where water flows together.

Even in Sichuan and Chongqing, only local folks who are very familiar with the terrain and the habits of this kind of wild fish, as well as some senior fishing enthusiasts, can find traces of waspfish... "We also call waspfish the triangle peak.

It's very painful... You can catch it in spring, summer and autumn, but you can't see it in winter because they are more afraid of the cold and may hide in mountain springs and underground rivers.

" Mr. Cheng, a fishing enthusiast in Chongqing, told us that it is not easy to catch waspfish. Not only does it need to drive from the city to a remote countryside, but it also takes two to three hours to walk on a rugged mountain road.

its habitat.

——This kind of running and tiring, you are not a true fishing enthusiast, and you really can’t “persist”.

Because there is abundant food in it: algae, moss, and molluscs, etc., are all the favorite foods of wasp fish.

Therefore, the bait used to catch waspfish can be insect baits such as earthworms and fruit flies, or some fishy commercial bait... Although waspfish is difficult to find, it is relatively easy to catch because waspfish is similar to common fish.

Like yellow pepper, it is very "greedy" and will not let go as long as it bites the bait.

Waspfish usually hide under rocks. Fishermen only need to put bait into the water nearby (live bait such as earthworms and river shrimps are best), which can often quickly attract a large number of waspfish.

Especially at night, hornet fish come out in large groups, looking for food everywhere. If you are lucky, you can catch dozens of them at a time... In the general sense, yellow pepper fish, croaker fish, yellow duck call, etc.

, both belong to the genus Yellow Catfish under the family Catfish, while the waspfish belongs to the genus Catfish under the family Cataceae.

In addition, among the people, anglers and fishermen often refer to all species of catfish as "cow tails", so the hornet fish can be regarded as a kind of ox tail.

At first glance, the yellowtail fish and yellowtail fish look almost identical in size.

But if you look closely, there is still a big difference between the two - the waspfish is more "slender" in size, and the body color of the fish looks more "crystal clear", as if translucent... Senior eaters, take a look

From the appearance characteristics of wasp fish, we know that the meat of this fish is extremely tender and smooth... Indeed, the edible value of wasp fish is much higher than that of ordinary yellow pepper and catfish. They are so tender and delicious that it is indescribable - many people even call it

It is "the most delicious yellow spicy diced fish"... Therefore, the market price of yellowtail fish is also very high. Generally speaking, it costs 80 to 120 yuan per pound. If you order it in a high-end restaurant

This dish may easily cost several hundred yuan a plate.

The waspfish grows and feeds in mineral-rich mountain springs and streams all year round, so its nutritional content is also very high. It can be said to be a rare "purely natural, delicious and nutritious" delicacy. No wonder it is so popular in the market.

However, this fish cannot be farmed, so it cannot be mass-produced, and sometimes it cannot be purchased even with money.

Probably only these fellow villagers living in the deep mountains and some experienced fishing enthusiasts can often enjoy their extremely delicious fish... Because of huge profits, some local electric fishermen will carry batteries on their backs and go up the river.

Countless fish and shrimps were killed and injured wherever they passed.

Not only will the wasp fish be wiped out, but even the algae, microorganisms, etc. in the stream will be electrocuted, resulting in the complete destruction of the ecological environment of the entire stream!

Even if the breeding season comes next year, it will be difficult to breed new populations of waspfish due to the destruction of the living environment... Illegal overfishing brought about by huge profits is the main culprit for the disappearance of many precious wild fish.

Here, we also call on everyone, especially local netizens, to take photos and collect evidence in time if they encounter similar electric fish phenomena.
