Introduction: Commonly known as "grouper", 3 years long less than 1 two, meat delicious eggs but poisonous, 1 pound sold for nearly 100 yuan
Nowadays, the standard of living has improved, meat has become very common on our table, and when we go to the market, we will generally buy some, either pork or fish, these two meats are the most frequently eaten in China. If you have children at home, you will often buy fish to eat, because fish is rich in DHA. There is a kind of fish, commonly known as "grouper", its biggest feature is "not big", 3 years long less than 1 two, delicious meat rich in DHA, but fish eggs are poisonous, the current artificial breeding is very difficult, in the market a pound can sell to nearly 100 yuan.
When it comes to grouper, many people will think of marine fish, one of the four famous fish in China, which has the characteristics of rich nutrition, delicious meat, low fat, high protein, etc., and is an economic fish widely cultivated in China's coastal areas. However, in Zhejiang, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Fujian and other regions, there is also a freshwater fish commonly known as grouper, which is characterized by "not growing up".
Grouper, also known as rosefish, fire-roasted mud carp, mallows, etc., scientific name light-lipped fish, is a small fish of the genus Carp, Cyprinidae, Catfish subfamily, and light-lipped fish. It is slender, flattened on the sides, with a slightly raised back of the head and a rounded and shallowly curved abdomen. And the body has 6 more mature transverse bands 6, and a dark brown longitudinal band. Among them, the longitudinal band of the male fish is obvious, and the transverse band is not significant, while the longitudinal band of the female fish is only slightly more obvious in the posterior part and the transverse band is prominent, so this is easier to distinguish.
Grouper is an omnivorous fish, mainly eating some aquatic plants, of course, also eating some small shrimp and earthworms. They mainly live on the gravel bottom surface of the relatively clear water flow, and spawn in the shallow water rapids from June to August every year, and can lay about 800 eggs at a time. However, it should be noted that grouper eggs are poisonous, especially in the spawning period, the toxicity is the greatest, and accidentally eating such eggs will have symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, malignant vomiting, dizziness and headache. Therefore, the consumption of grouper must be removed from the eggs, and if it is eaten by mistake, it needs to be sent to the doctor for treatment in time.
The distribution of this fish in China is still relatively wide, and many areas have also begun to be artificially farmed in recent years, but because it has relatively high requirements for water quality, it is very difficult to breed. And the growth is also very slow, the average person does not dare to breed. Groupers are generally farmed for three years before they can be sold, but such fish are generally less than 1 or 2 pounds, and often a dozen can make up a pound. However, the price of grouper is not low, and a pound can sell for nearly 100 yuan, because the meat of grouper is delicious and nutritious.
Grouper is a high-quality freshwater edible fish with high food value, which is rich in protein, fat, fatty acids and 17 kinds of amino acids and other nutrients, especially the DHA content contained in it is as high as 2-3%, which is higher than the vast majority of fish. And the meat of the grouper is delicious, and it tastes a little sweet, and many children also like to eat it.
It is precisely because the grouper is rich in nutrients, the meat is delicious, and there are very few wild ones, and the difficulty of breeding is large, so the market demand is large, and the price is also a bit high. In the market, even the farmed ones can generally sell for about 100 yuan a catty, and the price of wild is naturally more expensive. Again, although the grouper meat is delicious, the fish eggs are poisonous, so be sure to wash them thoroughly!
