In the past, among the species of fish glue that people ate, red-billed eel glue accounted for a large proportion. First, because the local people have always respected the red-billed eel glue, the quality is superior; second, because the previous production is more and the price is also accepted. In recent years, with the price of fish glue climbing all the way, especially in the past six or seven years, the price of red-billed eel glue has risen too high, and people have begun to turn their eyes to North Sea fish glue. Over the years, Beihai fish glue has been loved by more and more people with its relatively popular price, better gum quality and taste, and has become a new favorite among fish glue varieties.
Today I will share with you how to identify a good quality North Sea fish glue.
Question 1: Is North Sea fish glue a new species?
A considerable number of people have said that they have not heard of the name "Beihai fish glue", thinking that this is a new variety of fish glue. In fact, it is not, this rubber seed has appeared in the fish glue market since decades ago. In Hong Kong, "Beihai fish glue" is generally called "tie glue", which used to be packed into a bag of sacks and tied together, so it is called "tie glue". Later, the domestic gradually changed its name to "Beihai fish glue", and there is still a name of "tie glue" in the wholesale market.
Question 2: Beihai fish glue comes from Guangxi Beihai?
The current Beihai fish glue is from the south American sea, and the Guangxi Beihai was originally a "beautiful misunderstanding". Some people on the Internet say that Beihai fish glue comes from Guangxi Beihai, and many people think so. In fact, the current Beihai fish glue has nothing to do with the Guangxi North Sea, so why should this fish glue be named "Beihai Fish Glue"? Once upon a time, the waters around Zhanjiang were a frequent area for red-billed magnose in Hong Kong (locals called them "silver owls", and the Chaoshan people called the red-billed eel glue from Zhanjiang "Zhanjiang Red-mouthed"). Similarly, Beihai City, which is less than 200 kilometers away from Zhanjiang, also faces the Beibu Bay, which is also rich in marine resources, one of The Four Major Fisheries in China, and was once a gathering place for red-billed magnose. Therefore, the fish collagen previously produced in Beihai City was "red-billed eel glue".
Question 3: Is North Sea fish glue the fish glue of eel?
Non-also, the species of fish to which the North Sea fish glue belongs is not a crayfish, but belongs to the same family as the eel. Therefore, some people refer to "North Sea fish glue" as "North Sea eel glue" is simply a wrong name.
Characteristics and identification methods of North Sea fish glue
1. The colloidal head of Beihai fish glue has 2 "ears".
2, North Sea fish glue has a male and female division. The male belly has a pair of lines, and the female belly does not. But the North Sea money is an exception, and there is no such difference in this breed.
3, North Sea fish glue has no water hole. Because red-billed eel glue also has a pair of legal lines, but red-billed eel glue has a water outlet hole. Some unscrupulous merchants use the Beihai belly to impersonate the red-billed crayfish belly, but as long as you carefully observe whether it has a water outlet hole, you can distinguish it.
4, canine tooth totoaba is not the largest species of totollus fish, so the North Sea fish gum belly is the heaviest than a pound, and the four or five double belly is already considered very large. The smallest North Sea gum on the market weighs only a few grams.
