"There are thousands of kinds of fish in the world, but only puffer fish has the freshest flavor." Puffer fish was once called "the world's tastiest fish." But puffer fish are highly toxic, and taking only one milligram of tetrodotoxin will kill in less than an hour.
Luckily, experienced chefs have mastered the art of flaky fish. They can avoid ovaries, livers and intestines that contain highly toxic ones. Every year, dozens of diners in Japan who are not afraid of death are admitted to the hospital for acute respiratory failure caused by eating highly toxic pufferfish.
Still, people are willing to spend expensive prices to eat puffer fish in high-end restaurants and experience a death experience.
On April 13, the Ministry of Agriculture, the National Health and Family Planning Commission, and the State Food and Drug Administration held a hearing on the "Notice on Conditionally Liberalizing the Production and Operation of Breeding Puffer Fish", which answered everyone's concerns.
Which puffer fish can be sold?
Only the two major categories of oriental redfin dolphin and dark redfin dolphin
At present, there are more than 40 kinds of puffer fish species commonly found along the coast of China, but according to the provisions of the "Notice", only two categories of artificially bred redfin oriental dolphin and dark striped oriental dolphin are opened this time.
What is the price after the official listing?
The average wholesale price is expected to be 20 to 80 yuan / catty
It is understood that the redfin oriental dolphin and the dark-striped oriental dolphin, as the two varieties with the largest domestic export volume, have a very high market share in the Japanese and Korean markets, such as the redfin oriental dolphin reaching 20 US dollars / kg in the Japanese market. However, industry experts expect that the price drop will be further reduced after the opening of the domestic market.
What channels can I buy?
Supermarkets, restaurants, and wet markets are all unlimited
It should be noted that the Notice stipulates that the breeding of puffer fish is only allowed to enter the circulation link after the processing enterprise has processed, packaged and marked with a traceable code according to certain steps. That is to say, the sale of farmed live puffer fish and the sale of unprocessed farmed puffer fish are still prohibited in the market.
However, this also means that the processed puffer fish products do not have too many restrictions in the front-end consumer circulation link.
