Wild rhubarb fish is getting scarcer and scarcer and wild rhubarb fish has a very good taste, which is why it is so expensive.
First, more than 2,000 pounds of rhubarb fish sold at a sky-high price
This thing happened in China's East China Sea waters, a fishing boat fishing out of the sea salvaged more than 2,000 pounds of wild rhubarb fish.
These wild rhubarb fish were all very large, all around one pound. Artificially farmed yellowtail simply can't reach such a large size, so these large were a very sought-after commodity, and were snapped up by people as soon as they were landed, and these fish sold for nearly 10 million yuan a ****.
In fact, it's not uncommon for wild yellowtail to sell for sky-high prices every year. Because the price of wild rhubarb fish itself is very high, the price of rhubarb fish within one catty is about 2,000 yuan per catty, while rhubarb fish more than three catty can cost about 4,000 yuan per catty.
Secondly, why is wild yellowtail so valuable?
The main reason why wild dorado are so expensive is that they are very rare. Fishing boats go out every winter to look for yellowtail, but it's rare to be able to salvage so many at once.
In recent years, wild yellow croaker have become scarce due to harsh weather conditions and frequent artificial fishing. It is the decline in numbers that makes the wild yellowtail so valuable.
Besides the quantity, the taste of wild yellowtail is also very good. Although there are now artificial farming techniques, the taste of artificially farmed yellowtail is still much worse than that of wild yellowtail salvaged from the sea. Wild yellowtail is much more tender and has a fresh flavor.
Thirdly, what is my opinion?
I think the reason why wild yellowtail is so expensive has a lot to do with its scarcity. In addition to this, it also has something to do with the fact that people like to compare.
Many rich people spend a lot of money to buy this very expensive fish in order to show off their status, but actually I don't think it's worth it. The nutritional content of wild rhubarb fish is about the same as that of ordinary carp, so there is absolutely no need to spend so much money to buy a fish.
Summary: The reason why wild rhubarb fish is so expensive is because there are very few wild rhubarb fish and they taste very good.
