Welcome to the food world of Mocha, hello everyone, I am Mocha, in the United Nations 2019 release of HDI (Human Development Index), Hong Kong's life expectancy ranked first in the world, it seems that super-fast-paced life and high-intensity work can not affect the body of Hong Kong people. The reason is inseparable from the developed medical level, high-quality life, advanced health concepts, and reasonable diet. So, today we will talk about the diet of Hong Kong people.
Hong Kong people pay attention to food can be described as exquisite and quality, it is said that in Hong Kong there are few brushes are not afraid to come out to open a restaurant, the world's first house price in Hong Kong can be described as a small amount of land, once the business is not good, the rent can crush you, of course, this is only the author when chatting to hear it, but enough to show that the Competition in Hong Kong's catering industry is fierce and its quality is guaranteed.
Today to talk about the four kinds of fish, in the collection of Chinese and Western cuisine in Hong Kong is also very famous, can be sought after by Hong Kong compatriots that must have its own unique features, in recent years these fish in the inland areas are also famous, we will introduce today in Hong Kong known as the four kinds of sea fish - the four fish king.
The four fish kings refer to the four kinds of coral fish such as Su Mei, Mouse Spot, Green Coat, Sea Red Spot, in the early years, basically rely on what to eat, the previous Hong Kong sea coral fish resources are rich and diverse, so Hong Kong people also especially like to eat coral fish, coral fish have a beautiful appearance, colorful colors make people bear the mouth, so it is often fed as ornamental fish, the following to introduce how these four kinds of fish are different.

Sea erythema
Mouse spot: A species of fish in the genus Humpback in the family Bass, also known as green spotted, mullet, and humpback perch. The body is cream-colored, and the black spots are all over the body, which makes people feel very festive, distributed in the South China Sea; Japan is a warm-water marine fish. Unlike Sumei and Qingyi, the longest length of mouse spots is only 60cm, as a valuable edible fish, about 1 kilogram of mouse spots are the most suitable, and can also be used as ornamental fish.
It seems that the animal is harmless and cute under the skin bag, the mouse spot is actually a fierce fish, but everything it can eat, it is regarded as a plate of food, China's Guangdong, Fujian area of the mouse spots, the color is milky, the spots are neat and orderly, like an unfinished chess game, such as ornamental fish feeding, it is also stand out from the flock, unique, occasionally fished out of the water, it will quickly change to gray-brown skin to show its protest.
The body of the mouse spot that produces a stress response turns gray-brown
As the first of the four major fish kings, rat spots can be described as worthy of the name, on the taste of fish full of flavor, delicious and tender, on the appearance of exquisite and elegant, selling full of appearance. The cooking of rat spots for the heat and its exquisite, the fish skin is not broken is the standard for testing the chef's skill, the mouse spots on the table, the umami taste locks the fish body, use chopsticks to cut open the fish skin, suddenly the fish is overflowing, carefully pick up a piece of fish meat entrance, umami straight to the spirit, this is the charm of the mouse spot.
The rat spots in the mouth of Hong Kong people specifically refer to the mouse spots produced in the South China Sea, and the population of the mouse spots is mainly distributed in the reef areas of the Indian Ocean, where the paradise of coral fish, the mouse spots flourish there, in the case of extreme scarcity of local resources, a large number of mouse spots from the Philippines, Indonesia and other places into the major restaurants, they enjoy the same value as the local mouse spots, in fact, unscrupulous merchants are shoddy.
Connoisseurs are extremely sensitive to this change, but many admirers are suffering from the straw, tasteless, taste the same as chewing wax, and ruining the reputation of the fish king. The method of differentiation is also very simple, the foreign "guest goods" skin color is yellow, the spots around the body are arranged in a disorderly manner, the color and size are different, if it has been steamed, the skin is as thick as leather, it is difficult to clip with chopsticks, and the umami taste of food is nothing. Of course, as long as you do your homework, you will certainly be able to save this unjust money.
Thousands of yuan of ingredient cooking process is also crucial, the cooking level of Hong Kong's major restaurants is also uneven, admiring diners want to appreciate its charm, but also have to go to those historic seafood restaurants, these restaurants have gone through generations, impeccable in cooking, the characteristics of ingredients have also been played to the extreme, the price is cheaper than other five-star restaurants.
Su Mei: Refers to the corrugated lip fish (scientific name: Cheilinus undulatus), a genus of fish in the family Dipteraceae, a famous giant fish that survives in the coastal waters of the tropics. It is found in Oceania, the tropical waters of the western Pacific Ocean, the Great Barrier Reef, the northwestern Indian Ocean and the Red Sea. Its huge size is delicious and is used as a valuable edible fish, and it can also be used as an ornamental fish in aquariums or large display fish tanks.
In the early years of Hong Kong, Su Mei fish was just an ordinary dish on the table of ordinary people, with a variety of methods, far less exquisite than now. At that time, the fish market in Hong Kong could see the huge Su Mei being divided and sold, like a conventional product, as to why Su Mei's value jumped a hundred times, probably thanks to the rat spot.
Rat spots have always been favored by Hong Kong people, Su Mei broke into the major restaurants when the supply of rat spots was in short supply, which should be the replacement chosen by the owners of the major restaurants at that time in order to retain diners, of course, it is inseparable from the taste of Su Mei itself far beyond other fish, its own charm plus a variety of hype, gimmicks, gradually, Su Mei sat firmly in the position of the fish king, no longer a substitute, became a delicious food that diners scrambled to grab.
Two or three pounds of Su mei is the most suitable, at this time Su mei, regardless of appearance, taste is superior, a few relatives and friends sit around a table, taste the delicacies, chat about related or unrelated topics, the amount is not much and no less, the satisfaction of the taste buds and the pleasure of the mood, may also be accompanied by a vague pain in the wallet dry.
Up to now, the value of sumei and mouse spots in the four major fish kings has exceeded that of qingyi and sea red spots, even if the sac is bulging, it is also a strange commodity. At present, there are also freshwater Sumei, although freshwater Sumei is also valuable, compared with the real Sumei, it is really not a thing. It is worth emphasizing that Su Meichang contains ciguatera toxin in its body, because it consumes toxic organisms for a long time, and the toxin is deposited in the body, and if it is improperly handled and eaten, it will cause poisoning reactions.
Mouse spots and Su Mei are introduced here, the charming appearance is wrapped in juicy and delicious protein, the next issue will introduce the four fish kings in the sea red spots, green clothes, stay tuned!
