The aliases of fish include "fin" and "scale", "kun" and so on.

Since ancient times, fishing and shellfish harvesting have been the main business of Zhoushan people, and seafood has been an indispensable part of their meals, both nowadays and in ancient times. According to the morphological characteristics of fish and shellfish, the ancients gave them particularly nice names, and some of these aliases derived from a story.

For example, we call flounder "meat sole".
