Gagi is a valuable seafood
Gagi fish is a famous seafood on the coast of China, they have many cooking methods, and they are often regarded as a good dish at the banquet. In the past, our Shandong Peninsula region used to be rich in Gagi fish. Due to overfishing and other reasons, there are now relatively few wild Gagi fish, but the cultivation of this Gagi fish is developing very rapidly, so there will be no shortage of Gagi fish in the aquatic market.
In the past, it was thought that only the red seabream was the Gagi fish
This gagi is a common name for snapper fish, and it has always been believed that only the red snapper, also known as the "real seabream", is the real gagi. But now the decline in wild gargi fish resources has led to an increase in prices, so in addition to the red real seabream, black seabream, other colors of yellow-winged seabream, pepper seabream, etc., are also sold or cooked as gargi fish.
Now, snapper of other colors is also considered gagi
The Gargi fish has been famous since ancient times, and the scholar and gourmet in Qixia County, Shandong Province, in the Qing Dynasty, introduced the Gargi fish in his pamphlet "Remembering the Sea Mistake" about marine fish:"There are fish in the Deng Lai Sea, the body is abundant, the scales are purple, and the tail is red (the Poem says that the bream has a tail, which is similar). It is fat, and its skull and eyes are plump and have a good taste. The rate is in March and April, and it is defeated by the taste of sustenance. The Kyoshi people sent the ice ship cargo to the capital, because of its image called the big head fish, also known as the sea crucian carp. The natives call it the Mackerel. Another old book, "Yantai Aquatic Products", said: "Because the fish is precious and expensive, it is a must-eat thing for the upper class, and because the bright red body color is the meaning of auspicious celebration, it is called Grade A, and it can replace the chicken at the banquet, so it is also called the domestic chicken." "Domestic chicken and grade A are all harmonic sounds, and later they all switched to gagi fish."
The red Gagi fish is the most tender and delicious, but also the most expensive. Other varieties such as black seabream (black gagi), yellow-winged seabream, pepper seabream, etc., can be prepared well when cooked properly.
