Introduction: Known as "toad fish", it looks very ugly, the meat is delicious and less thorny, and the price is as low as 2 yuan and 1 catty
In recent years, with the gradual improvement of living standards, as well as the continuous maturity of transportation and preservation technology, seafood that was previously only available to coastal areas or rich people has gradually entered thousands of households and become a very common food in daily life. Especially some friends who like to travel to the beach will try a variety of local foods as much as possible. Today I introduce you to a strange sea fish, it looks ugly, known as "toad fish", but it is delicious and less thorny, has the reputation of "foie gras in the sea", and the price is quite cheap, cheaper than most freshwater fish, as low as 2 yuan a catty. Do you know this marine fish?
The squid, also known as the ankang fish, is the protagonist I want to introduce to you today, which is a deep-sea fish that is very common in coastal areas. Because it is ugly, also known as the toadfish, and some places have given it a terrible name - the sea ghost fish, which shows how unpleasant this fish looks.
At present, humans have found as many as 250 species of squid, these fish have a common feature, that is, it is very scary, and it also has a specialty, that is, there is a light emitter similar to a "fish lamp" on the top of the head, which will illuminate a large area when swimming in the sea, and the squid also uses it specifically to lure the prey to the bait, and then unexpectedly bite the prey and swallow it directly, according to its characteristics, some people also call it lantern fish. In short, there are many names of this fish, similar to old man fish, anglerfish, stammering fish, ugly women, etc., each name can be pronounced a common characteristic, the appearance of this fish is very ugly.
However, although the sturgeon looks very ugly, it is edible and the nutritional value is quite high. Sturgeon are distributed in China's coastal waters, and they are mainly active in the ocean at a depth of 50-100 meters. For coastal areas, or friends who like to eat seafood, sturgeon is a very familiar marine fish, because of its peculiar appearance, coupled with a large size, generally can grow to more than a dozen pounds, the largest can grow to more than 20 pounds, so it is unforgettable.
Of course, there is another reason, that is, the sturgeon is delicious and has few spines, which will make a deep impression after eating, which is a huge contrast with its appearance. It is worth mentioning that the nutritional aspects of the sturgeon are also quite rich, and its flesh is rich in gum, which has a high nutritional value. In particular, the liver taste of the sturgeon is quite delicious, so it is also called "foie gras in the sea".
Friends who have eaten squid should be very clear, don't look at the nutritional value of this fish is very high, but also the meat tender thorns less, basically a main thorn, small thorns are very few, eat it without worrying about being stuck in the throat by the fish spines, but the price of sturgeon in our country is not high. In coastal areas, if you go to the fishermen to get goods, it is generally two dollars a pound, some smaller, or if the purchase volume is large, the price is even lower to 1 dollar a pound. Why?
The reason for this is that the sturgeon is not too popular in China, and many people do not like to eat it, on the one hand, because this fish looks a little unlikable, which makes people uninterested. On the other hand, the production of sturgeon is very large, this fish is a very common deep-sea fish, the annual production is very large, and its size is relatively large, a fish can have about ten pounds, such a large size, naturally can not sell the price.
It is worth mentioning that the whole body of the catfish is a treasure, not only its liver is very delicious and nutritious, even the nutritional value of the back, abdomen and scalp of the ankang fish is also very high, and the finished product after processing has the reputation of "Sai sea cucumber". In addition, there are two juxtaposed cylindrical tendons at the junction of the head and the spine of the ankang fish, which is called "dan cinnamon meat", and after drying, it is called "saigan shellfish". The trout is eaten in a variety of ways, and some people like to use it to cook hot pot to eat, because the meat is tender and thorny, and the aftertaste is endless!
Although the price of sturgeon in China is cheap, even a cheap fish, it is a high-grade fish in foreign countries, such as in Japan, it is rumored that "the east eats ankang, the west eats pufferfish" Reputation.
