Isn't it delicious to fry pomfret and steamed pomfret?
But pomfrets are recorded in ancient texts, "their sexual immorality" and "there seems to be prostitution"
Isn't it shocking to hear?
Today we will break it up,
Not very good reputation -
pomfret.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the ancients said it was sexually promiscuous, like prostitution</h1>
The name of the pomfret is not very honorable, according to the record in the "Sea Mistake Map", "the fish is named after the pomfret, with its sexual promiscuity, good with the group of fish as an oyster, so the taste is beautiful, there seems to be prostitutes, the word is from Chang".
But a good fish, how can it be sexually promiscuous, as if it were a prostitute?

The Compendium of Materia Medica describes it this way: "Chang, Miya, named after the taste." Fish swim in the water, schools of fish follow, eat their saliva foam, there is a kind of prostitute, hence the name.".
The ancients said that when the pomfret swims, it is mighty and likes to rub each other's bodies. I don't count myself, and I often attract other fish to follow and lick its saliva. It was as if a prostitute was following a group of clients. Such a bee attracts butterflies and has a free personality, which was called "prostitute" by the ancestors, and later evolved into "pomfret", the word changes, the sound remains unchanged, and it is ridiculed by the world to this day.
I am very curious about how the ancients observed the habits of pomfrets in such detail, but it is certain that this is only human imagination and a kind of imposition, so white and pure fish, really blackened.

The private life of the pomfret is not chaotic, let's leave it alone. It's true that its classification is very divergent.
Pomfret is a collective name for the species of pomfrets of the family Pomfretidae, which is not prosperous, and is currently recognized by the academic community as a total of 6 effective species.

Pomfret, north China is called flat fish, northeast is called mirror fish. It also has an alias called "Dog Sleepy Fish", which is ugly but a compliment. Because pomfret meat is more and less prickly, people rarely spit out fish bones when eating pomfret, and the dogs lying on the side waiting are sleepy and dozing off.
Chaoshan has a folk proverb known as "good fish mackerel pomfret", which expresses the love of mackerel and pomfret. This is almost universal, all seaside people love mackerel and pomfret, especially pomfret, has always been regarded as a mid-to-high-end marine fish.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > gold pomfret is related like a cat and a dog</h1>
There are two main types of pomfrets sold in Dalian, golden pomfret and silver pomfret.
Silver pomfrets are mainly distributed in the western Pacific Ocean of the Indian Ocean, north to Hokkaido, Japan, west to the Persian Gulf, and east to Indonesia. According to past data, silver pomfrets were also distributed in the Yellow Bohai Sea, but there are now molecular biology views that there are no silver pomfrets north of the Taiwan Strait.
Silver pomfrets are extraocular fish, but also prefer to inhabit coastal sandy and muddy bottoms, often living in groups with marine life such as goldfish or shrimp. Adult silver pomfrets feed on ctenophores, sea squirts and other plankton.
As for the "golden pomfret", researchers at the Dalian Fisheries Research Institute said that although the golden pomfret is also called pomfret, it belongs to the pomfret family, which is called the oval pomfret, and the pomfret is of the same order and different family, and the relationship is like cats and dogs. It is distributed in the Indian Ocean, Indonesia, Australia, Japan, the tropical and temperate Atlantic coasts of the Americas and the Yellow Sea, Bohai Sea, East China Sea and South China Sea.
Most of the golden pomfrets in Dalian are from the south and are mostly farmed. Silver pomfrets, mostly wild. Artificial breeding of silver pomfret is in the experimental stage and has not yet achieved large-scale. So regarding pomfret, it makes sense for the market to say that "gold is not as good as silver". Xiaobian recently visited the market and found that silver pomfret has a price of 25 yuan, 30 yuan and 40 yuan per kilogram according to the size, while golden pomfrets range from 15, 18 and 19 yuan per kilogram.

Although the wind rating is not good and the classification is confusing, as a fish, it is still very good to eat.
There is a proverb in the coastal areas of southern Fujian that "one fish, two red fish, three pomfrets, four horses, five catfish, six galax", ranking third in the list of delicious marine fish. The pomfret is delicate and fat-rich, and it is quite delicious whether it is steamed, fried or fried.
The flattened body of the pomfret is naturally suitable for the pan, and it seems to be born for frying, but from a health point of view, it should be steamed.
Send steamed pomfret together, take advantage of the fact that 2019 has not yet passed, support it~
