The most indispensable food on the table is the big fish and big meat, fish is one of my favorite foods to eat, as a member of the coastal city, eat the fish produced in the sea, a little bit unaccustomed to freshwater fish in the inland, and inland people prefer to eat freshwater fish, after braised, spicy, sweet and sour and other methods, color and flavor are complete, certainly not used to eat simple steamed white seawater fish, but also with a little fishy taste, more can not stand, but this is the original taste, eat more nutritious.
There are many kinds of fish, some fish are too famous, attracting a large number of foodies, and even eating are about to become extinct, now can only rely on artificial breeding to maintain market supply, the price is very expensive, ordinary families can not afford to consume, such as wild yellow croaker and Yangtze River knife fish, etc., there are some fish in most parts of the country is not valuable at all, even if placed in the market will not be known to anyone, let alone buy, only Chaoshan people know its value, know how to eat it, and even it turned into high-end goods in Japan.
It is a mackerel, some places call it braided fish, oxtail fish, white turtle, etc., observe its shape can indeed find that it looks like a braided head, in addition to its color is tan, its appearance is not proud is its characteristics, if hidden in the deep soil, you can not see that it is a fish, know this fish very few people, very low-key, but its head is quite large, should be suitable for soup. In the markets of most parts of the country, this fish is not bought at all, and it is difficult to sell.
Mackerel is not famous among many fish in China, and its sales in China are not good, but the Japanese especially like to eat catfish, exported to Japan from cheap fish to high-grade fish, only people with good economic conditions can eat, and even in high-end restaurants to make reservations to enjoy.
But to Chaoshan is not the same, it can be said that only Chaoshan people know how to eat it the most, this fish is called light turtle in the local area, there is a famous dish in Chaoshan is made of catfish, it is cooked with cabbage, they think that most people do not like to eat catfish because they do not know how to cook, this dish cooked catfish used in the dish, in fact, is a common ingredient in life, dried radish.
Every winter, Chaoshan people will buy dozens of pounds of white radish to wash and cut well, and then pickle them and then fish them out and dry them.
Braised with preserved vegetables and mackerel, the taste is very delicious, and the mackerel can also be braised and fried, and the taste is quite strong. Why the commercial value of catfish in Japan is so high, it is because the nutrition of catfish is particularly good, the meat is firm and fat, it contains a lot of protein and fat, or a high-protein and low-fat food, suitable for weight loss people to eat, eat more can also enhance immunity, easy to be digested and absorbed by the human body.
Mackerel has an earthy smell and does not have a strong marine fish flavor, so it is not suitable for steaming, have you ever eaten catfish?
