Looking at the color of the fish, the wild carp is golden yellow, as shown above, while the raised carp is light black. However, this method is only 50% correct now, because the color of carp raised in pond yellow mud water is similar to that of wild carp, which many people will be fooled. A catty of farmed carp is about 10 yuan, while a catty of wild carp can be sold for 30-40 yuan, which increases the income by 3-4 times, so many people in the market now pretend to sell farmed carp as wild carp.

Look at the fish mouth, the wild carp has a thick mouth ring, and the mouth ring is still yellow, and there are two thick beards. The mouth ring looks like a rubber ring. The raised carp does not have a thick mouth ring, and the mouth ring is black.

The taste is very different. The meat quality of wild carp is very good and it tastes tight. Unlike raised carp, it tastes pink and has no fish flavor. The soup of wild carp is very fresh.
