Life is full of temptations, and only food and love can live up to it. Hello, I'm your food detective Amin. The food I want to introduce to you today has something to do with the fish we often eat. As we all know, there have always been four kinds of freshwater fish in China. The reason for this topic is that there has been a long-standing debate about who is delicious, freshwater fish or marine fish.

Let's talk about the water fish king first, which was recommended by local friends at a banquet in Henan, Shandong. This kind of fish is also sweet and sour carp. You have seen people who are too big and fat, but I have some experience in removing them. When fishing in the lake or in the wild, a carp nearly 1 meter long weighs only a dozen kilograms, with a small head and a small belly, which is determined by the feeding characteristics of wild carp. Carp is a meaningless fish species, its intestines are very short, so he eats very little, so he must eat a little more. Wild carp is not as good as raising donkeys. It is normal to be thin and belong to the kind that grows without meat.

This big yellow river carp is very eye-catching, not only because of its side scales, but also because its tail is orange-red. Compared with other fish, it also has the characteristics of high protein content and low fat content in muscle. Historically, carp had a high status. Besides giving it the auspicious concept, the story of yue longmen, a carp, also shows people's enterprising spirit. You see, in the Eight Immortals' birthday party in Yuan Zaju, carp turned into a beauty, which made Lv Dongbin never understand. Confucius' son was named Kong Li just for good luck. Sweet and sour carp has always been a famous dish in Shandong.

1983 I ate this famous dish at the national technical performance appraisal meeting of famous chefs. This meat is fat and white, like suet. The master who chartered a car in Tianjin every day feels so beautiful and delicious. I used to eat very good carp. The Yellow River carp is caused by overfishing and water pollution, especially 40 years ago. Now it basically disappeared after hybridization. Hybrid carp with thick skin and thick meat and heavy earthy smell is a veritable Yellow River carp.

When it comes to the Yellow River carp, we will definitely talk about our four famous fish. Delicious friends must remember that we have to eat four kinds of fish in this life, mainly farmed fish now, but with the gradual improvement of the environment, I firmly believe that one day we can eat dates, which are wild and delicious. To tell the truth, I have never eaten wild Songjiang perch. I once heard an old local chef say that US President Nixon visited Songjiang perch when he accepted a banquet hosted by China Prime Minister Zhou Enlai. That was half a century ago. In the 1980s, the Queen of England lost the opportunity to go to Shanghai. The old man said that wild bass was occasionally seen at that time, and the price was unacceptable, 400 yuan a catty.

Songjiang perch is a migratory fish. This kind of fish simply grows in the sea and migrates to fresh water to breed. A few years ago, I heard that Songjiang perch has been artificially propagated, but the price is very expensive, 3000 yuan a catty. I think I can wait. After the first generation of aquaculture technology increases the output, the price will definitely come down. But I've been going to Shanghai and heard that the market of this kind of fish has been diving all the way, and when it reaches several thousand to several hundred, I feel something is wrong. Either the taste of fish does not meet the original requirements, or it is for other reasons. Anyway, I lost the urge to taste.

I have eaten the big white fish in Xingkai Lake. That was one year when I went to a meeting at Bayi Farm in Heilongjiang. When I opened it, my friend gave me a frozen hairtail and told me to go home to eat. When I returned to Beijing, I put the fish in the refrigerator. A few days later, several colleagues who went to the meeting together called to ask if Dafeiyu had eaten. I suddenly remembered the advice of my friend in Heilongjiang. This fish has always been filial to his parents.

Every year on the second day of the lunar new year, we get up in the middle of the night according to the ordinary method of stewing fish. My family, like me, didn't take this fish seriously. After that, the wine tasted wonderful, really white as jade, transparent without texture, and then the meat in every part was the same. The touch of every link in this fish mouth is so just right, moist and dull, but in fact, our family didn't eat well that New Year's Eve dinner.

Salmon is also the four largest freshwater fish in Wang Zhiyi. Like Songjiang perch, it is born in fresh water and grows in seawater, and its output in Wusuli River in Heilongjiang Province is not small. It is an export product of our country, with high economic value and particularly rich nutrition. Because of the high fat content, you will feel greasy when you eat it. It should be said that salmon tastes a little different from other fish. It is not a fundamental evaluation of this kind of fish, but a variety of personal preferences and taste requirements are the first requirements for salmon. Personally, I prefer salmon seeds. Red fish roe is more nutritious than an egg, and it looks appetizing.
