Striped fish, along with yellow croaker, small yellow croaker and squid, are known as the "Four Seas of China" and are also the fish species we often see in seafood markets. Although the shape of the striped fish looks very similar, like a flat belt, but its subdivision species are many, only in China's coastal areas, there are 4 different genera of striped fish.
At present, most of the striped fish sold in seafood markets are frozen deep-sea bream fish. This is because once the fish leave the sea, it will cause the internal organs to be squeezed out due to the imbalance of internal and external water pressure, which will cause rot. This adds a lot of difficulty to the realization of fish culture. However, in 2019, the Fisheries Research Institute in Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province, realized the initial feeding of fish indoors, providing a possibility for future artificial breeding.
Fish are produced all over the world, and in China, there are many places where fish are produced, but 5 of these places are selected to be more famous. Today, Lazy Meow will talk to you about the topic of fish production, let's take a look, where are these 5 places? Is your hometown on the list?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" >1, Zhoushan, Zhejiang (Zhoushan with fish).</h1>
Zhoushan is located in the northeast of Zhejiang Province, on the south side of the Yangtze River estuary, and in the East China Sea on the outer edge of Hangzhou Bay. Zhoushan Fishery is the largest fishing ground in China and one of the four largest fisheries in the world, and has been famous for its abundant fish resources since ancient times. Zhoushan striped fish produced in Zhoushan Fishery is a national geographical indication product of China and one of the four major economic fish in Zhoushan Fishery.
Zhoushan sea belongs to China's coastal low-salt sea, the sea is rich in bait, and the sunlight can directly hit the seabed, providing a very good environment for the growth of fish. Zhoushan striped fish belongs to the cold water striped fish, smaller than the ordinary striped fish, the eyes are black, the back is not stone bone, the taste is fresh and not fishy, very suitable for steaming and eating.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" >2, Bohai Bay area (Bohai Bay strip fish).</h1>
Bohai Bay, located in the western part of the Bohai Sea, is also one of the three major bays of the Bohai Sea, from the mouth of the Daqing River in Laoting County, Hebei Province in the north to the mouth of the Yellow River in Shandong Province in the south. Places like Dalian, Yingkou and Panjin in Liaoning, Qinhuangdao and Tangshan in Hebei, and Binzhou, Yantai and Weifang in Shandong are all cities along the Bohai Bay.
The Bohai Bay striped fish produced in the Bohai Bay area is the most expensive of the domestic striped fish. The striped fish grown here are small striped fish, because of overfishing, the yield is very low, it is difficult to see in the market, and the price per kilogram is generally not less than 100 yuan. The meat of the striped fish in Bohai Bay is more tender than that of the Zhoushan striped fish, but because it is rarely seen, everyone eats and cherishes it.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" >3, Nantong, Jiangsu (Lvsi striped fish).</h1>
Nantong, located in the southeast of Jiangsu Province, east of the Yellow Sea, south of the Yangtze River, is also a very famous historical and cultural city in China. Known as one of the eight major fisheries in the country, Lvsi Fishery is located in Lüsi Town, Nantong City, Jiangsu Province. The Lvsi Fishery is just a tributary of the equatorial warm current, and there are many plankton in the water, which is very suitable for the growth of striped fish.
Lüsi striped fish comes from Lüsi Fishery and is also one of the four famous products of Lüsi. The head, eyes and beak of the fish are small, the back is boneless, and the belly is broken. This is because the belly is thinner, coupled with the fact that Lü Si's fishing boats are mostly fishing boats with radar nets, it is easy to break the belly of the fish that drills around. Lüsi striped fish has a lot of fat content, fat but not greasy, and it is also very delicious to eat.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" >4, Lianyungang, Jiangsu (Lianyungang with fish).</h1>
Lianyungang, located in the northeast of Jiangsu Province, bordering the Yellow Sea in the east, is also a heritage city on the Maritime Silk Road. Haizhou Bay Fishery, located in Lianyungang, is one of the eight major fisheries in China. Because the water temperature is moderate, more than 10 rivers along the coast bring rich nutrients to it, so the Haizhou Bay Fishery is very suitable for the growth of various types of marine life, including striped fish.
The Lianyungang striped fish produced here is easy to be scratched because of the thin skin, resulting in a bad skin, but the fish inside is first-class and delicious. Lianyungang strip fish meat is tender and firm, the taste is not old, whether it is steamed, or fried, it is delicious to eat.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" >5, Fujian (pearlfish).</h1>
In the Fujian area, there is a locally produced striped fish, called "pearl striped fish", which is very small, generally only about 100 grams, and the larger one is not more than half a kilogram at most. Under the sunlight, its appearance will look more dazzling than other striped fish, and its whole body will be like silver.
The meat of this kind of fish is very tender, which is more suitable for steaming and other methods that can highlight the original taste of fish. Locals like to steam it or cook it for a few minutes before eating it. The cooked striped fish is also sweet and tender. However, due to the small production, it is also relatively rare in the market.
