Hairtail, a kind of marine fish, should be eaten by everyone, and it is easy to see at the dinner table in daily life. We also have the custom of frying hairtail for Chinese New Year.

Hairtail meat is tender and delicate, and there are basically few thorns, so you can rest assured to give it to your children. Both frying and braising are delicious, and they are one of my favorite fish, not to mention the price is very cheap.

But we can't see fresh hairtail in the market at all. It's all frozen. Why? Because hairtail is a deep-sea fish, it will die quickly after being caught. There is no way to breed, because the cost of breeding is too high, and the difficulty is too great, and the survival rate is very low.

The second kind: Spanish mackerel

The meat of Spanish mackerel is thick and tender with few thorns. In Yantai and other areas, it is a major feature to use Spanish mackerel as jiaozi. I didn't understand this practice before, but I didn't know until I tasted it. It turns out that Spanish mackerel jiaozi is so delicious that everyone can try it.

The Spanish mackerel we bought in the market were actually caught and not farmed. Because the cost of artificial breeding is too high, the survival rate is low and the breeding conditions are very harsh, no one wants to raise it.

The third kind: silver pomfret

Silver pomfret looks unique in shape, delicious and firm in meat, and less in thorns, which is very suitable for parents to buy back for their children.

This is also a kind of fish that cannot be farmed artificially at present, at least not on the market now. So if we meet this kind of fish in the seafood market, we can eat it with confidence.

The fourth kind: saury

The popularity of saury in Japan is far beyond our imagination, and now it is becoming more and more popular in China, and more and more people like its taste.
