Netizens who often eat freshwater fish must be familiar with blackfish - the elegant saying is "snakehead". Blackfish are the "overlords" of rivers, lakes, and ponds, and the fierceness specializes in feeding on other small fish, especially "carp" fish. If the pond is mixed with blackfish, then the other fish will become the food of the blackfish. Blackfish can be eaten, and the flesh with more thorns has little economic value. However, the more discerning food lovers think that the meat of blackfish is too greasy, not as "fresh" as marine fish and so on.
In this article, I would like to talk about a kind of "blackfish" in the sea. The blackfish in the sea are certainly not as "well-known" as the blackfish in freshwater. Even among the marine economic fish, it is very "niche". But the taste of blackfish in the sea is delicious and excellent, much stronger than the taste of blackfish in fresh water.
The commonly known blackfish aliases in the sea are actually very special, and the more popular names than blackfish are "black old woman", "black village", "black stone perch" and so on. Then, in a more elegant way of saying it, it is "black mane". If, strictly according to the fish taxonomy, it belongs to the order Catfish, the family Catfish, and the scientific name should be Xu's Flat Catfish. The fish of the order Catfish and The Catfish family have a characteristic, that is, they look very strange...
This black bass is a near-shore warm-temperate demersal fish that often inhabits the sedimenty substratum waters of clear rocky reef areas near the bottom layer. Compared with many other kinds of marine economic fish, it has a great advantage, that is, it basically does not have to "migrate" - in China's Yellow Bohai Sea coastal waters that are "all year round". Then, the black bass is also basically in the upper layer of the food chain, and it feeds on small fish and shrimp that are weaker than it. Therefore, its meat quality is still quite good - basically like the blackfish in freshwater, with more meat but less spines, and the fish meat and fish bones can be easily distinguished and enjoyable.
But the taste of blackfish (seawater blackfish) is much stronger than that of freshwater blackfish, and its taste is often described by one word - that is, "fresh", of course, seafood is generally described as "fresh". This black catfish can be steamed or braised – but the most common way to eat it is to stew or use it to "boil soup". Seaside people, especially those of us in shandong province on the Bohai sea in the Yellow Sea, praised it as "black-faced and white soup with a lot of nutrition".
In the previous article, as already mentioned, the black catfish lives in the yellow Bohai Sea coast of our country all year round, it does not need to migrate, it has ah all year round. From May to September every year, it is exactly the four-month "off-season fishing season" of the Yellow Bohai Sea, during which all fishing boats are not allowed to go to sea. However, fishing pastimes are permitted, and during this time, seaside fishing often catches black mackerel.
The greater significance of the black hernch is that it has been artificially farmed. In recent years, the coastal provinces have been vigorously developing the marine aquaculture industry, and we in Shandong Province attach special importance to this industry. In the news reports, it is not stingy to praise, praising this industry for "moving towards deep blue", "strengthening the sea", "cultivating the sea, herding and fishing", and so on.
In the past 1980s and 1990s, the coastal mariculture industry was mainly concentrated in the areas near the beach, and the breeding equipment was relatively rudimentary. At that time, the main species of marine aquaculture were basically shellfish, shrimp and crabs plus various kelp, and the most valuable thing was to put sea cucumbers, abalone, etc. on the seabed...
With the continuous development and progress of science and technology, marine aquaculture is no longer only satisfied with the offshore, but also begins to "develop" to the open sea. Science and technology enterprises have created a variety of large-scale offshore "breeding platforms" for fish farming "cages", etc., and the hot spot of marine aquaculture has also become the breeding of "marine fish". Enterprises in our province have developed eye-catching breeding platforms such as "Deep Blue No. 1" and "Cultivating the Sea No. 1".
The blackfish/black catfish (Xu's flat catfish) in the sea is one of the popular species in marine aquaculture in recent years!
Black squid / Hsu's flat catfish, commonly known as "blackfish", this is the blackfish in the sea. The taste of blackfish in the sea is much more delicious than that of blackfish in fresh water, and it is very delicious!
