1, diaozi fish, actually "minnows" ("minnows" is commonly pronounced as "diao" in the south), refers to a kind of fish represented by minnows, with slender body, many fine spines in the meat and quick action. There are mainly white herring (red-mouthed _, commonly called _ naughty), red-eyed trout (red-eyed naughty), wheat-eared fish (wheat-brained, wheat-brained), table fish (swimming naughty), surf fish (wild naughty, chicken egg naughty) and so on. Except for the red-billed fish, the other fish are generally smaller than two fingers long.

2. The growth of the scorpion fish requires high water quality, which is generally difficult to raise. The meat is delicious and tender, and the price is relatively expensive. Because of the many thorns, it is advisable to fry the fish. The name of the restaurant, if it is "fragrant fried fish", refers to the red mouth. If it is "fried fish", it refers to other small fish, of which surf fish tastes the best, but it can't be recognized after frying. When buying small diaozi fish in the market, we should pay attention to distinguish it from leng zi fish. Lengzi fish has only the main thorn all over its body, which is relatively smaller and tastes more delicious. Therefore, vendors will only call "diaozi" "Lengzi", not the other way around.
