Chapter 47 2. A good fish has many bones

Fish can be divided into sea fish and fresh water fish.It's hard to say which one is better.There are extremely delicious sea fish, but also mediocre and unpalatable ones, and the same is true for freshwater fish.Since sea fish generally have fewer bones and are easier to eat, they are more pleasing.Among the freshwater fish, most of the delicious ones have a lot of fish bones. If you are not careful, the bones will get stuck in your throat, and you will be extremely painful. Freshwater fish is bony, and there are so many of them that it is unimaginable. However, the more bony the freshwater fish is, the more delicious it is, such as saury. From the shape to the taste, everything is the best, but it is bony.Another example is bream, the well-known shad has many bones, but it has many thorns and is soft, so it is not easy to be fished, so more people like it.

In the Lingnan area, dace is the most worth mentioning.This kind of fish has many bones and fresh meat. It is the top-grade freshwater fish, and it is very common. It will be worse than expensive seafood, much more delicious than some miscellaneous spots that can be chewed a few times, and not inferior to some famous fish raised. It's a pity that such a good fish is inferior in comparison because of its boneiness. The growth of some fish is very local, such as dace, which is not found in Jiangnan.Some fish are not even seen in China, and they can only be found in the Western Hemisphere.

In San Francisco, I saw a fish. Not only have I never eaten this kind of fish, but I have even heard the name of the fish for the first time.The fish is also very boney, more than dace, but the meat is delicious and tender, no freshwater fish can match it, and it tastes like top-grade sea fish, which is really amazing. There is another strange thing about this fish: its vitality is extremely strong.Once, I bought it back from the market, and the fishmonger had already slaughtered and cleaned it thoroughly. On the bus, it was beating all the time. It took about 40 minutes to drive. After returning home, I boiled the water until it boiled, put the fish in a steamer, and added it while it was still in the mouth. Put the lid on and wait for the food. Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, there is a loud bang, and the fish lifts the lid of the pot, jumps out, jumps on the ground, and looks at people with wide eyes.
