Modern people prefer expensive seafood and tend to overlook delicacies such as river fresh. In fact, as long as the river fresh is properly farmed, the taste is also not lost to seafood.
On the Internet, I saw that some netizens were discussing: the kind of fish in the river fresh is the best. Most netizens agree that silver carp is the most difficult to eat...
Whether the fish is delicious or not has a lot to do with the water quality of fish farming. The same fish are raised in ponds of different water quality and taste very different.
A few years ago, a few friends from the city went to the mountains to play. The author fished three silver carp from the spring pool to entertain them. As a result, they usually don't eat silver carp much, and even drank the fish soup in the basin.
The use of mountain spring water to raise fish has always been a tradition on the author's side. In the past, farmers in the mountains used the water of mountain springs to raise some fish, not to exchange them for money.
Because the traffic is not developed, it is not convenient to live deep in the mountains. Every time the villagers want to eat fish, they have to wait until the day of the market, and they have to walk dozens of miles of mountain roads. Therefore, generations of villagers on the mountain have thought of making a pond by the spring to raise some fish.
The temperature of the spring water is low, and raising fish in the mountain spring water does not require much skill, but it must be patient enough. Because the fish in the spring water grow particularly slowly.
I once stocked two thousand dollars of silver carp fry in a natural spring pond on the mountain. Silver carp is a particularly fast-growing fish.
But the author waited for five years, and the fry that was released grew to two or three catties. Due to the stealing of water birds and the patronage of anglers, more than a hundred pounds of silver carp were finally harvested.
It is also for this reason that villagers in the mountains generally do not carry out large-scale farming. Most villagers also do not raise silver carp that require water depth. After all, manually digging a pond in the mountains is not an easy task.
Villagers generally only raise grass carp that grow faster and have low water depth requirements. At the same time as raising grass carp, some crucian carp will also be raised.
Grass carp can grow from half a catty to a catty a year, and it can grow in two or three years. After two or three years of moisturizing in the spring water, the grass carp, which usually has a rough skin and thick flesh, immediately becomes tender.
If the grass carp raised in the mountain spring water is delicious, then the stone laurel fish in the spring water can be called heavenly.
The stone laurel fish is actually anchovy fish, but because it grows in the lush mountain stream for many years, the body color has become black.
In the past, stone laurel fish could be seen in almost every stream. How they came to the mountain stream is impossible to explore.
Wild stone laurel fish generally do not grow much, and it is rare to grow to about a pound. Whether it's steaming, or pickling, or directly braised, vinegar slip... The taste of stone laurel fish is far better than that of ordinary cinnamon fish. Because of its preciousness, the villagers on the mountain will not easily catch the stone cinnamon fish in their ponds for hospitality.
In order to eat the top food in this mountain spring, some people even drive tens of kilometers and take away several kilometers of mountain roads. The price of stone laurel fish has also risen, and it has been fried to more than one hundred yuan a catty.
Today, there are fewer and fewer villagers in the mountains, and some of the spring pools have dried up. Some of the farmers who remained in the mountains saw a business opportunity, and they worked with some outside bosses to expand the pond and build small resorts.
It's just that the fish they raise are different from the past...
