Golden pomfret

Silver pomfret

Wild and breeding

There is a price gap between golden pomfret and silver pomfret. Silver pomfret is more expensive than golden pomfret. The reason is that silver pomfret itself is a "very demanding" fish with ordinary ingredients that are invisible to the eyes and don't like to eat much, so it has a long growth cycle, and it is difficult to see large silver pomfrets weighing more than a catty in the market. The yield is also relatively small, and the growth cycle takes two years to grow to half a catty, so the scarcity of things is more valuable, and the taste of wild fish itself is better than that of raised fish.

The first point: golden pomfret is wider than silver pomfret, which is more like a diamond.

The second point: there are hard spines on the dorsal fin of golden pomfret, and silver pomfret is smooth.

The third point: the excretory hole of golden pomfret is in the middle of the body, and silver pomfret is in front of the middle of the body.

There is a big difference in taste between the two kinds of pomfret. The silver pomfret lives lazily in the sea, so the meat quality is more delicate than that of golden pomfret, and the meat quality of golden pomfret will be rougher. In addition, the silver pomfret belongs to pure natural culture, so it is more delicious and delicious than that of breeding.
