Snakehead is the common name of snakehead, also known as snakehead, raw fish, rich fish, snake fish and salamander.
Snakehead is fierce, fertile and has a huge appetite. It can often eat all the other fish in the lake or pond. Snakehead can also slide on land, migrate to other waters to find food, and live for 3 days without water. As early as 2000 years ago, it was listed as the top grade of insect fish in Shennong Herbal Classic, along with honey, bees, beeswax (propolis), oysters, tortoise shells, ootheca mantidis, meretrix meretrix, clams and carp.
Black snakehead is a common edible fish in China, with large size, fast growth and high economic value. Snakehead has less bone spurs, high meat content and rich nutrition, which is higher than protein contained in chicken and beef. As a medicine, snakehead has the functions of removing blood stasis, promoting tissue regeneration, nourishing and recuperating. Eating snakehead after operation can promote granulation, enrich blood and promote wound healing.
