Basket fish, Cantonese people called mud whale, Taiwan called stinky belly, there are places called fox fish...
I am Cantonese, of course called mud whale, this is called blue ribbon mud whale, of course, you can also call the blue ribbon fox fish, in fact, many aquarium lovers, are called so.
Seems to be very different from the mud we often eat? Yes, the mud whale belongs to the basket fish family, about 30 species in the whole family, which is one of them.
In fact, the gray-brown mud whale seen in the sea around Shenzhen is actually divided into several varieties, and there is a chance to take pictures and upload them for comparison.
Features: The body is yellow and white, the head has two black or brown stripes, and there are many irregular blue patterns and spots all over the body.
Taken in mid-December 2018 in the waters off the town of Dumaguet.
The mud whales here in Dumaguete are very large, and there are many varieties, all of which are very beautiful varieties, almost all of which are more than 1 kilogram, and the largest seems to be 3 kilograms, which is very different from the small mud whales around the Shenzhen Sea area that are only 2-3 fingers large.
I wonder if these mud quakes are as delicious as the quackers around Shenzhen?
