Pangasius is a fish commonly found in Southeast Asia, and our country mainly imports pangasius from Southeast Asian countries. Because live transportation is not allowed and long-distance transportation of pangasius can cause death, so Generally, pangasius is processed directly at the place of origin, peeled and cut into small pieces and then vacuum-packed so that it can be safely transported to China. Therefore, it is basically difficult to see a whole pangasius, and it is basically sliced. Longli fish is a large offshore bottom fish that is also distributed in my country's offshore areas. Longli fish is not only delicious and smooth in taste, but also rich in nutrients. Therefore, Longli fish has always been a hot commodity in the market. The price of Longli fish has also been on the high side. Because marine fish cannot survive for long after being caught, they are usually processed and sent to the market for sale after landing. This results in the fact that Longli fish are rarely sold whole. Convenient for consumers
Few people will buy a whole Longli fish because the price of a whole Longli fish is very expensive. Generally speaking, one pound costs twenty or thirty yuan. The price of a whole dragon fish has exceeded one hundred yuan, which is very uneconomical for a small family. Many people buy Longli fish just to taste it or to supplement nutrition for their children. For this reason, supermarkets will also cut Longli fish into slices and sell them in boxes. The tricks of unscrupulous merchants
The meat quality of Longli fish and Pangasius is very similar, especially after it is sliced, it is even more difficult to identify. However, the price of Longli fish is quite different from that of Pangasius. Therefore, many unscrupulous merchants will use pangasius to pass off as Longli fish, and selling it in slices is their routine. Many uninformed customers have been fooled. Therefore, consumers must understand that you get what you pay for. Dragon fish that costs more than ten yuan are basically fake, and they should keep their eyes peeled when purchasing. In fact, pangasius is much different from dragon fish. Pangasius generally lives in polluted rivers in Vietnam, so pangasius has more toxins in its body. This is why people are reluctant to eat pangasius. The Longli fish lives in clean offshore areas. It is not only delicious but also nutritious, making it very suitable for children to eat. Therefore, merchants who use pangasius as Longli fish are unscrupulous and have violated the rights of consumers. If necessary, they can use legal means to protect their own interests.
