Fish is one of China people's favorite foods. There are many kinds of fish, and their tastes are different. No matter which kind of fish tastes more delicious, it is a marine fish.

In fact, there are some cheap marine fish. Although they are inconspicuous and cheap, they are absolutely delicious. Don't miss them when you go to the market in the future

1, Balang fish

Balang fish, also known as stickleback, rod fish, yellow croaker, pond fish, etc. , is a kind of cheap marine fish. Whether it is dry fried, boiled or made into dried fish, it tastes first-class, sweet and delicious, and enjoys a good reputation in southern Fujian and Chaoshan areas.

Because of its strong reproductive ability, high yield and low price, the market price of Balang fish is generally around 10 yuan. When the sea opens, the price will be lower. Fresh Balaam fish is only about a catty in 4 yuan, which is as cheap as vegetables.

Some people despise it because it is too cheap and the meat is a little rough. But don't underestimate the Balaam fish. In fact, it is a rare natural marine fish. It is almost wild and has no culture. The meat quality is particularly delicious, not worse than some precious fish.

The fish rice and dried fish made with it are very famous, and they are worthy of being called "the son of a poor family"

Brown fish is best for dry frying and soy sauce cooking. You don't need to put too much seasoning when cooking, because the fish itself is delicious!

2, small yellow croaker

Many people regard small yellow croaker and large yellow croaker as one species, but in fact they are completely two species. Small yellow croaker, also known as small yellow flower, is fresh, willow-like, tender in meat and light in taste. It is a rare fish and one of the four marine products in China.

Large yellow croaker is more expensive and is usually sold by the gram. Most restaurants use large yellow croaker. The price of small yellow croaker is much cheaper, and ordinary people can afford it.

3. small sea bass

Perch is deeply loved by diners because of its tender meat and few spines, including sea bass and freshwater bass. Compared with the two, sea bass tastes more delicious, and it is rich in nutrients such as protein and vitamins. It can not only strengthen the body, but also nourish the liver and kidney, and it will not get fat if you eat more.

Sea bass are also different in size. Most small sea bass are sold chilled in seafood markets. Sea bass are usually live fish kept in fish ponds. Therefore, in terms of price, sea bass is more expensive, while small sea bass is much cheaper.

Although the price of small sea bass is lower, its meat quality is much tender than that of sea bass! Anyone who has eaten steamed perch knows that the bigger the perch, the older the meat, and the smaller and smoother it tastes.

Small bass don't choose the method. Steamed, braised, fried and stewed soup are all delicious. There is basically only one main thorn in the whole body, which is really suitable for all ages. Many people who don't like fish will fall in love with the taste of sea bass!
