Mackerel, generally referred to as blue-spotted mackerel, is mainly distributed in the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, etc., in our country, mainly inhabiting the pelagic layer of the coastal sea, and is an important economic fish in our country's marine fishing objects. The liver of the blue-spotted mackerel is the raw material for refining cod liver oil, and the meat of mackerel is firm, delicious, and nutritious, and it is a delicacy that is loved by people.
Mackerel, which is similar to mackerel, has the pronunciation of the word mackerel (qing two sounds), which is often confused. Mackerel is also called mackerel, blue mackerel, oil carcass, body shape is similar to a spindle, the back of the body is blue-black, there are dark blue irregular markings, in this mackerel family mackerel, because it is similar to the mackerel length, everyone also calls it mackerel.
Mackerel and mackerel are like tall and short, fat and thin twins, and they look very similar, but in some details, everyone can still distinguish them.
Although the names of mackerel and mackerel are one word apart, these two kinds of marine fish are very different, and the price level of mackerel is mackerel, which is only a few yuan a catty. And mackerel is far more than this price, the price of more than ten yuan per catty, and some even dozens of yuan per catty, plus the size of mackerel, relatively speaking, mackerel is still relatively expensive.
When you buy mackerel in the vegetable market, you must look for the characteristics of mackerel, the black-tailed mackerel, and the yellow-tailed mackerel, that is, the mackerel in everyone's mouth. Although mackerel is cheap, it is also an economical marine fish, but mackerel has more bones and more oil, which is not at all comparable to mackerel, and usually it can only be used for pickling or grilling.
Mackerel contains a large amount of histidine in its body, and when cleaning mackerel, you need to wash it patiently and carefully, otherwise it will cause allergies. Therefore, when you buy mackerel, you must carefully distinguish and avoid using the money you used to buy mackerel, which has more fish bones and is easy to cause allergies.
Mackerel and mackerel, there are many differences, the following will be for you to expand, from the fish body, fish tail, fish eyes and other aspects to tell you about the difference between them?
1. The difference between mackerel and mackerel, do you remember that 2 buy 3 or not?
Mackerel is tender, delicious, and the price is not cheap, but if you buy the wrong one, mistakenly buy mackerel as mackerel as mackerel, in addition to wasting money and not delicious, it may also cause body allergies.
1. First of all, the tail of the mackerel is black, and the eyes are relatively small, compared with the mackerel, the small eyes are very obvious. The mackerel is a yellow tail, and the eyes are larger than the mackerel, when you choose mackerel in the vegetable market, everyone remember that the black tail and small eyes must be mackerel.
2. The difference in body size, the mackerel is slender and oval, while the mackerel is taller than the mackerel, the body is thinner and slender, and the mackerel's body looks more rounded, and it will not be associated with slenderness and thinness at a glance.
In addition, the distance between the two dorsal fins of the mackerel is relatively close, and the distance between the two dorsal fins of the mackerel is relatively far, in addition, there are 8-9 small adipose fins on the tail of the mackerel, and the small adipose fins on the tail of the mackerel are relatively few, and there are only 5 up and down.
In terms of color, the back of the mackerel is black-blue, with some black round spots, the ventral side is silvery-gray, and the belly is grayish-white. The back of the mackerel is blue-blue, with irregular dark blue markings, and the belly is pale yellow.
To sum up, when buying mackerel in the vegetable market, everyone keeps in mind that 2 buys 3 and does not buy, "2 buy refers to": to buy a black tail, small eyes, and the body shape is rounded.
"3 don't buy": one is not to buy the yellow tail, the other is not to buy the eyes are larger, and the third is not to buy the slender and thin body.
3. The price of mackerel and mackerel is also different, under normal circumstances, the sales price of fresh mackerel is about a few yuan a catty, and the price of mackerel is usually more than ten yuan per catty, and the expensive one is even dozens of yuan per catty.
4. The cooking methods of these two kinds of marine fish are also different, mackerel can be steamed, braised, stewed in sauce, or used to make dumplings filled with mackerel, while mackerel has more fish bones and more oil, and the usual way to eat is to marinate and grill.
5. Mackerel is not handled well, which will make our body allergic, and there is even a saying that mackerel is "poisonous", so when dealing with mackerel, the focus is on processing its fish blood, which is not clean in addition to the fishy smell, and it is not edible.
2. Tell me what fresh mackerel should look like?
When buying mackerel, first look at the gills, the gills are the respiratory system of the mackerel, fresh mackerel, the gills are very red, if not fresh mackerel, the gills must be black.
The second is to look at the tail of the mackerel, the black tail is the mackerel, the yellow tail is the mackerel, the color of the fresh mackerel is black and bright, with a little blue, pinching should be a relatively hard state, if the tail of the mackerel is soft, then such a mackerel must not be fresh.
The third is to look at the fin, you can pinch the fin, it should also be firm, the hardness is higher, if it is soft, it also means that the mackerel is not very fresh.
Fourth, look at the fish eyes, although the eyes of the mackerel are relatively small, the eyes of the fresh mackerel should be black and bright, if it is not fresh, the eyes of the fish are cloudy and white.
Fifth, press the body of the fish with your hands, the body of the fish should be elastic, such a feel, indicating that the mackerel is very fresh.
Sixth, the body of fresh mackerel is stiff and will not bend, but the stiff state does not mean that mackerel is frozen, you must know that the mackerel in spring is the most delicious time, and after autumn, the meat of mackerel will be sour.
3. Why don't you buy the mackerel that was popular in previous years?
At this time, mackerel is on the market in large quantities, and the mackerel meat at this time is firm and delicate, and the mackerel itself has many advantages of thicker flesh, fewer fish bones, and light fishy taste, which has always been a delicacy that everyone likes very much.
Mackerel is the most common in the northern coast, spring is the season for mackerel to go on the market, but have you found that in this year's seafood market, the sales of mackerel are not ideal, many stalls selling mackerel, the door can be crowded, and in the seafood market, there are not many consumers who buy mackerel, what is going on, why don't you buy mackerel this year?
1. Mackerel has just been listed, the price is more expensive, we don't necessarily have to rush to try it at this point in time when it has just been listed, and we still expect to buy affordable mackerel at home. In addition, everyone's money bags are tightly covered this year, and it is more difficult to make money than in previous years, everyone holds the currency and waits for the price of mackerel to be more affordable before making a move, which is of course my personal irrational analysis, which is not right, you can leave a message in the comment area.
2. The spring mackerel is big, the price of a mackerel is more than 100, now everyone is busy with work, a whole mackerel of about 4 catties, a family of 3-4 people, can not eat at all, frozen in the refrigerator but can not row, it is not necessary to eat mackerel, other seafood, more economical, change the taste is also a good choice.
3. The perspective of the vendors, it is not the same as what consumers think, because there is a fishing moratorium, and the May Day will enter the fishing moratorium after Labor Day, and the vendors are waiting for the arrival of the peak season after the festival, because the vendors are clear in their hearts, after the fishing moratorium, all kinds of marine fish are not worried about selling, plus mackerel is a wild marine fish, and there is no artificial breeding, so the merchants and vendors are not panicked at all, because in the days to come, the sales of mackerel will definitely be better.
4. The sales ingredients of mackerel are based on the northern coastal cities, and are rarely sold to inland areas, consumers in inland areas prefer to eat fresh live fish, and the frozen ones are not very like, so let's take a look at the hairtail and small yellow croaker, in fact, the sales of these two kinds of marine fish in the southern supermarket are not able to catch up with all kinds of freshwater fish.
At the end of the writing, I want to say a few words, a few yuan a pound of mackerel is different from mackerel, old fishermen: don't look at the thorns and less meat, remember that 2 buy 3 don't buy, mackerel is fresh and tastes good.
When buying mackerel in the vegetable market, everyone keeps in mind that 2 buys 3 and does not buy, "2 buys refers to": to buy a black tail, small eyes, and a round body shape.
"3 don't buy": one is not to buy the yellow tail, the other is not to buy the eyes are larger, and the third is not to buy the slender and thin body.
I like to express love with food, believe that giving love is the best way to make yourself happy, and deeply believe that food is the only way to soothe people's hearts.
