The same is all with fish, why sometimes buy with fish meat tender and fresh, but sometimes buy meat is rough and fishy?
Some careful friends have found that the same is with fish, the eyes also have 2 colors, one is black eyes, one is yellow eyes! So, the question is, which kind of fish is more delicious?
Why do fish have black eyes and yellow eyes?
Striped fish are mainly distributed in the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean, and in our country, whether it is the Bohai Sea, the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea, or the South China Sea. But the difference is that in our country, the striped fish can be subdivided into two types of striped fish in the north and south!
The northern striped fish is mainly known in Dalian and Zhoushan, which is characterized by small individuals, black eyes, and very tender flesh, especially without too much processing.
Therefore, the native striped fish in the north is the most suitable way to eat steaming, and you can taste the tenderness of the striped fish.
The southern striped fish mainly refers to the striped fish produced in the South China Sea and the imported tropical striped fish.
These striped fish are larger due to water temperature, pressure and salinity of seawater. In general, the body of the fish can be about 6 to 10 cm wide, and the length is also about 1 meter.
The most obvious difference between the southern striped fish and the northern striped fish is two points, one is that the color of its eyes is yellow, which is obviously different from the northern striped fish; the other is that the northern striped fish has no convex bone on the dorsal ridge, while the southern striped fish has a bulge on the dorsal ridge.
The thickness of the skin of the southern striped fish is much thicker than the skin of the northern striped fish, so the southern striped fish is more suitable for frying and is not easy to stick to the pan. Secondly, the fishy taste of the southern belt fish is relatively heavy, and the meat quality is not as tender as the northern belt fish.
Buy with fish and keep in mind that 3 buy 4 do not buy
3 Buy refers to the characteristics of the good belt fish when we choose to bring fish.
1, first look at the color of the fish eye!
Buy with fish to look at the eyes first, if it is a yellow-eyed fish, most of them are southern or imported fish, not that they cannot eat, but the taste is not as good as the black eyes of the north! So, pick up the fish and look at the eyes first!
2. Look at the integrity of the silver scales!
When buying a fish with a strip, you must see if the silver scales are complete, especially the silver scales on the surface of the striped fish cannot fall off, which is an important feature of whether it is fresh!

3, finally look at the shape!
Note that although most of the striped fish can be observed through the fish eye, where the striped fish to be selected comes from.
But this is not very accurate, after all, the color of the fish's eye, by the variety, water temperature, salinity and its own growth size and other factors, so by observing the shape of the fish, you can basically see which part of the water the fish grows!
Look at the shape of the fish, mainly look at 2 points
Look at the "figure": the body of the northern fish looks more symmetrical, from the head to the tail of the fish is relatively slowly "thin" down, while some imported fish and the southern band fish are very wide head and back, but when it comes to the tail, it is obviously thinner.
Look at the jaws: the jaws of the northern striped fish are shorter, while the jaws of the southern striped fish and the imported striped fish are significantly larger.
4 Do not buy, as the name suggests, is low quality or can not distinguish between good and bad with the characteristics of fish!
1, a touch off the scales of the fish do not buy!
Many silver scales with fish look bright and beautiful, but they fall off with a touch of the hand, or they have already fallen off before buying, so don't buy such fish!
First of all, silver scales, also known as silver fat, are substances with extremely high nutritional value on the striped fish; secondly, the silver scales have fallen out, which also means that the striped fish is not fresh!
2, fish belly intact with fish do not buy!
I believe that many friends pick up the fish, are picky belly is not broken, think that such fish is fresh. In fact, the fish is a deep-sea fish, when fishing on the shore, if there is no special means of storage, it will soon break the belly, so the broken belly is a normal phenomenon, and not breaking the belly is an abnormal phenomenon!
Notice that the broken belly is not completely broken, but a little bit of the fish belly is broken in some place!
3, fisheye dull do not buy!
The fish is not fresh, you can look at its eyes, if the eyes are bright and shiny, it proves to be fresh; on the contrary, it is not fresh!
4, cut into sections or boxes of frozen striped fish do not buy!
Why is it said that cuts and boxes cannot be bought?
Because, after cutting the fish is fresh, it is basically impossible to see; into a box of frozen fish, the middle of the sandwich with fish can not distinguish between good and bad, and the weight can not be guaranteed, it is possible to buy 10 pounds, only 7 pounds, the remaining 3 pounds are ice cubes!
The above is the content shared with you today, and now it is the season of opening the sea, so first learn how to choose, and then you can buy fresh and delicious fish!
