People in China like to eat fish, which has also created many snacks with fish as the common material. Even in Sichuan cuisine, even if there is no fish, everyone needs to create a strong aroma called "Chuanxiang", which is enough to show how much they love fish. However, China is rich in products, and the fish favored by each place is different, so it is said that the fish to be recommended below used to be royal food, but now its influence is too low.

Crucian carp, a kind of fish that everyone is very familiar with now. When you often touch the historical time, you will find that crucian carp has a very high probability of appearing in many royal dishes and court dishes. The well-known "sweet and sour carp" in Anhui cuisine, with the Yellow River crucian carp as the common material, tastes sweet and delicious, brown and tender, not only delicious, but also comprehensive in nutrition, which is deeply loved by royal family members.

In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi's favorite dish "Oriental Palace Fish Festival" was beautifully served. Legend has it that Emperor Kangxi went south to patrol the streets and observe the people's feelings. When he arrived in Longmen County, the local chef made a dish with crucian carp for Emperor Kangxi. Emperor Kangxi was very happy because the head and body of the whole fish with chopped peppers were placed on both sides of the dish with white shrimp in the middle, showing the appearance of two colors and two flavors, and personally wrote the name of "fish sacrificed at the East Palace Gate", which became a special food given by the royal family.

It stands to reason that crucian carp, as the favorite fish species of ancient royal nobles, should have a very good attitude towards crucian carp today, even though they have money in their pockets. However, if you look at the special food in China, you will find that the status of crucian carp is not as good as before. Even in the south, the price of crucian carp is as cheap as a few yuan a catty, and no one wants to buy it. Only in North China, crucian carp still has a certain sales market. Why don't diners appreciate crucian carp now?

Crucian carp, the price is very cheap now. Mainly because crucian carp can be cultured in large quantities and the breeding technology is perfect. The vitality of crucian carp is tenacious, which also makes it unnecessary to spend too much thought on the storage of crucian carp, so the price of crucian carp is very cheap at this time without shortage of ingredients. In many counties, the price of crucian carp can even hold down two or three yuan a catty.

Although the price is low, the smell of crucian carp is unacceptable to many northerners. Crucian carp has many thorns, which also makes many friends who are not easy to eat fish feel headache. If there is a lack of food, then crucian carp can still be eaten, but what is the best choice for everyone now? You can choose fish species with more fish and fewer fishbones. There is no market for crucian carp. No one wants to spend money to buy a pile of fishbones to eat at home.

Even people who are good at eating fish have to put up with the smell of crucian carp when they meet it. Carp is a kind of fish, and the most common one is the Yellow River crucian carp. Crucian carp, which lives in fine sand on weekdays, has a very strong smell, which makes the food of crucian carp inevitably supported by onions and garlic. Even the cooking methods are stewing, frying and adding sugar, which is not in line with the diet structure of northerners.

Therefore, in the southern region, you will find that there is basically no sales market for crucian carp. What's more, the southern region is rich in natural resources. Not only are there many kinds of fish and delicious, but also marine fish will share a piece of the action. Where will crucian carp come from? Therefore, crucian carp was expensive and delicious to the royal family in ancient times, but now anyone can afford it, but it is not very popular with everyone.
