The 3-month fishing moratorium is a painful ordeal for foodies. For fishermen, it is even longer to wait. But the sea creatures are able to recuperate, and what we will be given will be even more rewarded!

--------------------------------------------------------------
For the people of Hainan, seafood can be roughly divided into five kinds of fish, shrimp, crab and shellfish, and the first phase introduces marine fish.
(1) "Blackfish" in Hainanese
The "blackfish" in the Hainan dialect, Chinese name is mackerel, belongs to the mackerel family. There are 51 species in 15 genera and 51 species in this family of fish in the world, all of which are swimmers in the sea. There are two kinds of common "blackfish" in Hainan, one is a larger Kang's mackerel with 50-60 stripes on its body, and the other is a smaller Korean mackerel with black spots on its body.

(2) There are many types of cannonball fish!
There are actually several kinds of shell fish commonly found in the Hainan market. There is also a type of dried green tuna, which is a fish of the mackerel family. They like to swim fast, and after being caught or trawled, they will shake violently, and a large amount of lactic acid has accumulated in the fish meat, resulting in sour meat, which is generally stewed with salted fish pork belly.

(iii) Approachable light fish
Recently, "light fish" began to be listed in large quantities. The light fish is caught by a special light boat, and the light attracts the fish, and a large net can catch a large group. It is worth mentioning that the "light fish" is only a general term, and this fish school may contain several species of fish, mainly the white-bellied mackerel of the family Qíng, the feather gill and the blue round rays of the family Gillidae. The method of lighting fish is generally to add sour shoots to cook soup together.
The gills have a bluish-green body with 1-2 rows of black markings on their backs

Although it is a joke, there is really a kind of fish, the tender fish meat is unforgettable, it is Ma You, also called afternoon fish. Ma You Chinese named Ma Ma, the fish body is rich in oil, the meat is delicate and delicious, and the steaming can best reflect its sweetness. There are two species of mackerel in the seafood market, most often four-fingered mackerel.
