There is such a kind of fish, once loved by everyone, now we are disgusted, today let's get to know the red pomfret that is popular on the southern table, why not eat it? Also called garbage fish?
On January 5, 2022, in a landscape pool in a park area of Liuzhou City, the staff caught a fierce strange fish with sharp teeth, which looked very similar to piranhas, and after professional comparison, it was confirmed that there was a false alarm.
It turned out to be its close relative, the red pomfrey, and after the investigation, it was found that someone released it with good intentions, and it is estimated that the person who released it definitely did not know that it was an invasive alien creature!
Fortunately, the place was not large in time, the staff caught easily, and after the fish landed, it was harmlessly landfilled!
Otherwise, if you are like the Ruzhou alligator eel, search for 45 days, and pay the entire lake, it will be really difficult! They are all invasive alien creatures, and Chinese foodies prefer the deliciousness of red pomfrets!
When it is popular all over the southern table, tilapia have to step aside, and the four big fish also abdicate to make way for Xian! The best way to do this is teriyaki! The key is high quality and low price, and the market sales are usually about six yuan a pound!
Good red pomfrets, why are they called garbage fish?
This has to mention the rumor that has been circulating for a long time! Many people don't know where to hearsay, think that red pomfret farms have the practice of building toilets on fish ponds, and excrement is directly given to red pomfret as food, and slowly this model has become the unspoken rule of red pomfret farming.
Once the food is linked to filth, it is difficult to clarify that it is difficult to ascend to the sky, and even more outrageous, even feeding birth control pills has come out, as soon as this news comes out, people who eat red pomfret do not dare to buy it again, really respond to the old saying, good things do not go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, so the reputation of red pomfret plummeted!
People naturally treat it and Egyptian pond lice, scavengers, as garbage fish, this routine it walked through, before two brothers spent 50,000 to buy a building, but at night there was always a strange noise, and finally found that it turned out to be a pond lice living in a dung pit, making movement every night! More people know, and the news spreads more and more outrageously, resulting in other whitely farmed catfish also being stigmatized as dung pit fish! Put the red pomfret on it. From 1982 introduction, to 1985 Guangdong trial breeding! Tropical fish are transferred to temperate life, and there is no water and soil at all! In addition to not being able to live in low temperatures, the survivability can compete with scavengers, plus the same teeth of piranhas! It's an invincible hand that bites all over the water! Its ferocity seriously endangers the growth of native fish! The title of garbage fish directly masks the deliciousness of red pomfrets! Since then, its figure has gradually faded out of the two wide fish stalls!
Why is the red pomfret no longer a permanent guest on the Cantonese table?
The rumor of running to the toilet to raise fish is more undelicious! When feeding, this fish eats everything dirty and smelly, but where the water temperature is right, whether it is sewage or clean water, it can grow normally, the same as the Egyptian pond lice. What kind of water quality and what kind of feed determines what meat quality! What's more, its users are still the most discerning diners in the country! Cantonese gluttony!
More than 30 years ago, when red pomfret first debuted, I only felt that the variety was fresh to have a market, but after tasting it, I felt that the meat was fishy and woody, not suitable for the taste of Cantonese people, and then few people bought it again, as the saying goes, no profit is not early! The demand is gone, and there are fewer red pomfret raisers! Now with the emergence of competitors, Qingjiang fish, sea bass, basa fish, red pomfret is squeezed out of the market, it is not surprising! Although the red pomfret was abandoned by the farmers, the people still live like fish in the wild! The scale is so large that it affects the local ecological environment! So it often becomes the bite hook of anglers, and for a long time, let anglers call it out! It is estimated that the red pomfret also shouted wrongs, and at that time I was invited to come hard, and I left it when I had a new love! Now there is no one in the wild to love, live as an invasion and feel at ease!
