Hello everyone, welcome to today's "Aquatic Products Price Network"! There are countless fish living in the Yangtze River system, but there is one fish that is more peculiar. Compared with other fish, its uniqueness is not only reflected in its appearance, but also in the legendary story behind it.
As early as the Northern Song Dynasty, the famous poet Su Shi took a boat from the Min River into the Yangtze River, hunting along the river on the way. Everyone knows that Dongpo residents were also a foodie in ancient times, and when they passed through Shishou City, they heard that there were famous local dishes, so they wanted to taste it. Waiting for "three tours of wine, five tastes of dishes", Dongpo residents poetry flourished, and left a seven-word poem with feeling. In the poem, he wrote: "The pink stone head is still boneless, and the snow white pufferfish is not a medicine man", and the stone head in the poem is the protagonist of this article.
The prestigious "totoaba" fish
Shishou is located at the southern end of the central axis of Hubei and is an important city in the Yangtze River Economic Belt. In the local area, there is a prestigious dish - catfish with stone heads, which is also the famous dish that Su Dongbo ate that year. Because of the poem "Drama As a Catfish" written by Su Shi, Shishou is not only a place name, but also an alias for the long-snouted bass. In addition to "stone head", the long-snouted catfish has other flower names, such as Jiangtuan, Fat Tuo, Fat King Fish, Catfish, Catfish, Xi Fish and so on.
Giraffes are widely distributed in China! In addition to the waters of the Yangtze River, the giraffe is also widely distributed in the waters of the Minjiang, Huaihe, Liaohe and Pearl Rivers. There are also giraffes in foreign countries, such as France, Britain, Norway in Western Europe, and Siberia in Russia. It can be said that the longnout is also a relatively common fish, but if you want to say which long-snout is the most famous, it has to be Hubei Shishou!
Why is the catfish of the stone head the most famous? Please also follow the small editor of "aquatic prices" to read down. During the three months of winter and the month after the beginning of spring, the water temperature in the Shishou River section is low (below 12 degrees Celsius), and when this water temperature is entered, the longnose will no longer eat and stop growing. Therefore, the longnose that lives in the stone head can only grow for half a year at most, unlike some areas with lower latitudes, which can grow all year round. The characteristics of half a year of growth and half a year of weight loss are also the mysteries of the long-boiled soup of catalpa, the good elasticity of the meat, the delicious taste, and the famous Chinese and foreign.
The appearance of a long-snout
Naturally, the giraffe is one of the tastiest and most nutritious fish, and is popular with people, but the world does not dare to compliment it on its appearance! The body is long and slightly pink, the head is slightly flattened, the eyes are small, the snout is tapered, and there are four pairs of small tentacles on the side, which do resemble rats from the front, so in Shanghai, the long-snout is also known as "catfish". However, in the author's opinion, the pink body surface plus the small eyes "beard", the long-snout looks cute, and there is also a little cute.
The price of the long-snout
In terms of price, like the common fish on the market, giraffes do not sell for a sky-high price! In the market, the price of farmed giraffes (one catty) ranges from 12 to 18 yuan, but wild giraffes are much more expensive. In some areas, 160 yuan a pound of wild giraffes, are scrambling to buy, may be in terms of nutrition and taste, wild giraffes are slightly better, which leads to high prices!
