Carp, I like to eat.
When I was a child, I followed the adults to eat the table, there must be a big carp on the table, the carp eating too much also practiced my problem of picking the mouth, as soon as the carp came to the table, my first chopsticks went straight to the live meat under the carp's eyes, the most smooth and tender. After eating that piece of live meat, and then eating the fat and tender belly meat of the carp, "the carp eats the belly" is on the topic.
Braised carp
After work, I often travel on business, and I have traveled to some places in the north and south of the river, and I find an interesting situation: many southern areas do not eat carp.
I have asked some southern friends, and they told me that southerners do not eat carp, it is not delicious, and the earthy smell is big, that is, carp will be used in the New Year's ancestral worship.
As the saying goes, "Hearing is false, seeing is believing", I am not reconciled to the words of my friends in the South. In 2014, while stationed abroad in the south, I bought a carp in the vegetable market and decided to try it myself!
Carp on top of a knife trick
But this pot of carp on the table, I was confused, fish teeth, fishing line, black film, trigeminal bone bruises I cleaned up, yellow wine, onions, ginger peppers and other colored condiments are the same, how can there be a smell of earthy fish? The fish in the mouth, like a cotton sleeve, is tasteless...
I began to really feel why the southerners didn't eat carp, it was really delicious!
Wild Yellow River carp
Delicious carp exists, and I was once fortunate enough to eat wild Yellow River carp, and the taste was unforgettable.
At that time, I was still studying, and in my junior year, my classmates were sick and my parents were not around, so our classmates took turns to serve.
After the parents of the classmates knew, in order to treat our bear children, driving 300 kilometers, we pulled a large box of wild Yellow River carp, and the water tank was hung with an aerator, and the uncle patted his chest and said, each keep alive!
The aunt is also a diligent person, in our rental house to support a large cauldron, home cooking, stewed a large pot of fish, a fish for one person, after eating and ...
That meal of Yellow River carp made me eat beautifully! The meat is firm but smooth and tender, and even the fish back meat, which is not easy to taste, is very delicious, and it is still salivating to this day.
Northeast fish stew
In the northeast of our hometown, carp is still a regular at the dinner table.
Nowadays, in my hometown in the northeast, carp is used less and less at formal banquets, and everyone chooses more sturgeon, flounder and so on. However, at home tables, carp is still our choice for flavoring, stewing a fresh carp and serving food.
People who don't know the northeast may say that the fish production in your northeast is not abundant.
Not really! In our northeast, there is a folk proverb: "three flowers and five luo, eighteen sons, seventy-two miscellaneous fish", which shows the richness of fish production in northeast China, especially the cold-water fish in northeast China.
In the past, the northeasterners who have eaten and seen it have not given up carp so far?
In my opinion, it is nothing more than good quality and low price. Fish for ten bucks, the taste is not bad, what else do you want a bicycle?
fishing
While in the south, a local friend was obsessed with fishing.
On the weekend, he was afraid that I would be lonely as an outsider, so he dragged me to wild fishing. Every time he caught a carp, he took it off and threw it back into the water, saying that this carp was given away by no one, and that he wasted bait and time.
I asked him, no one wants to send it for free?
He smiled and said to me, you don't understand! In our case, carp is a hair product, no one eats, can not be sent out.
To be honest, I only know a little about the term "hair", and I have never seen anyone who eats carp and gets sick.
Of course, I am also willing to understand and respect the customs and customs unique to each region. Later, when I was in the north, I entertained friends in the south and never ordered a single carp dish.
Qingling live fish
One year, a friend got married in Changchun and married a Young Man from Guangdong. The next day I drove the two back to Yanji, and along the way, the groom official wanted to eat northeast specialties and climb Changbai Mountain.
On the highway, a group of people passed by the Jiaohe service area, I pointed to the "Qingling live fish" and said, this is the northeast characteristics, dare to eat?
When a large plate of Qingling live fish was served, the groom asked me, is this carp?
I replied, feel free to eat it, this is a northeastern specialty!
He picked up the chopsticks, took a bite, and said, "Wow! Oh, this fish is good, delicious! ”
It seems that the southern orange and northern citrus are also different from the carp.
