We call it "Rubber Fish". This kind of fish was often seen in the market before, and it was once bought and eaten. This kind of fish can sometimes be seen in the market now.

This kind of fish has to be peeled off before processing and cooking, and then braised or steamed before eating. Southerners are willing to cool it into dried fish, and they will also cook and eat this kind of fish. But northerners are not very interested in this kind of fish. Do you think it tastes like it?

I just bought a few a few days ago. Guangzhou and western Guangdong are called "skinning cows" and chaozhou people is called "Dizai fish". [Smiles]

At that time, most of them were used to make grilled fish fillets. Later, a large number of fish were caught without a fishing moratorium, which led to almost all the fish in the offshore area being caught, and the market was only sold sporadically, and the price was not cheap. The phenomenon of selling in piles in the past was never seen again.

This is called horse-faced bream, also known as rubber fish. Before 1980s, it was often processed into feed by coastal producing areas. Later, due to the near exhaustion of hairtail, yellow croaker and other resources, it began to be put on the table of mainlanders. At first, it was disliked by many people because of its strong fishy smell. Later, because of its low price, it sold for less than half of the price of pork after peeling its head. It was rich in nutrition, rich in meat, few in thorns and soft, and it tasted good after reasonable cooking.

At that time, the awareness of protection was not strong, and the interests drove them to catch a large number of young adult pony face fish of two or three inches or even smaller to supplement the market, which caused this rich fish species to suffer heavy losses.

It is the market awareness of short-sightedness, fast water flow, dry up and fish, forgetting profit and righteousness that makes this cheap and good mass delicacy become

Scarce high-end goods.

Yes! Guangzhou Shayuan Market has! But not all the year round, and the fish is bigger than before, about 30 yuan a catty!

Made dried fish slices.

The scientific name of this kind of fish is horse-faced bream, which was prolific in the offshore. After being caught, it was used to produce instant food fillets, which was overfished in the 1980s. At the beginning of this century, a large number of factories that rely on peeled fish to produce fillets have closed down.

In the early 1980s, the food market in Shanghai was overwhelming and the price was cheap. Shanghainese used to call this kind of fish "rubber fish". At that time, it was also good to buy sliced fish and fry them. Why are there so few and expensive now? Is it finished?

They are all eaten by Sichuanese and Chongqing people. Sichuanese eat hot pot and barbecue. It seems that the only sea fish is the piranha, that is, the skinned fish, whose scientific name is horse-faced bream. This kind of fish was originally worthless and common, but it was eaten as a rare fish by people in Sichuan and Chongqing, and the price was also expensive.

Yes, there are some in the market, and they are very expensive. That's strange!
