How to tell the difference between fish and fish

When it comes to the seafood industry those people silly can not distinguish between true and false CP, really call consumers a first two big, salmon VS rainbow trout, cod VS oil fish, tuna VS skipjack, snapper VS tilapia ...... all kinds of Li Gui Li Kui drama, but also let people not eat fish!

Among them, the most confusing pair is Longli Fish VS Pasha Fish. The reason why this pair needs to be picked out alone is that the meat of these two products is really too similar. They are both snow-white, spiny-free and delicate large pieces of fish. Even the taste is similar to that of others, which makes people doubt: "Pasha fish is not Longli fish, is it?"

Don't say, they're not really a fish.

Dragon fish flat sea fish

First of all, let's get to know this statue of Longliyu, eh?! This flat appearance is comparable to that of flounder! In fact, the dragon fish is a kind of flounder.

Flounder is a general term for the fish of the order of flounder, and longli fish is a fish of the family of tongue sole and tongue sole under the order of flounder. Although they are ugly, there has been a legend of it in the Jianghu: "A lama came to the south, carrying five catties of sole leech in his hand." Have you heard of the sole leech mentioned by the lama.

Perhaps it is because the word "Longli" looks very tall. Many people think that Longli fish is also a very "foreign-style" fish. In fact, people are serious "Chinese hukou" and usually like to lie on the bottom of the sea. It can be caught in the coastal waters of our country.

In addition to the name Longli fish, it is also called sole fish, zigzag fish, tongue fish, ox tongue fish, Longli fish and so on in various places. It may be because it is too characteristic, and people are especially enthusiastic when naming it.

For a long time, Longli fish has been a valuable marine economic fish in people's hearts. It not only has large pieces of fish meat that are enjoyable, but also has a delicate taste similar to silver cod. It is rich in nutrition, tender and fresh meat, and has no fishy smell. It can be served at high-end banquets and entered the common people's kitchen. It is very changeable.

However, because Longli fish is less cultivated and its output is lower, the price is slightly more expensive, and because its fillet is very similar to that of Pasha fish, it also gives Pasha fish an opportunity to "Li Gui to Li Kui.

Pasha fish Freshwater fish from Vietnam

And basa fish, face and dragon fish really do not have the slightest resemblance.

They are freshwater fish of the family Catelidae, which grow in the Mekong River basin in Vietnam. Yes, they are relatives of our common big-mouthed catfish. This kind of fish is long, small head, no scales, big eyes and wide mouth, and can eat. All kinds of plants, crustaceans and other fish are in their "menu.

And as a kind of farmed fish, basa fish is really too easy to raise, not only for water quality, water oxygen content, breeding density requirements are not high, and adult basa fish are a "big belly" appearance, meat rate is also a barof.

In addition, the price of basa fish is affordable, the meat is tender and has no thorns, and the taste is excellent. It is very popular with people. Therefore, Vietnamese farmers naturally love it deeply.

Now,Basha fish farming has become one of the economic pillars of Vietnam, and Basha fish has also been sold for export and has become a common fish in Chinese supermarkets.

However, it is obvious that keywords such as "Vietnamese breeding", "freshwater fish", and "catfish" are really unconvincing for a fledgling "new fish in the lake", so the basa fish raised its value and turned into a dragon fish.

After all, these two kinds of fish look the same after peeling. Zhenzhen is "I don't know you when I take off my clothes". It is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish them from ugly yinmao.

In addition to longli fish, when basa fish first entered the Chinese market, it also "touched porcelain" over snapper and cod.

How to distinguish?

How can you tolerate a serious eater who doesn't know what the fish is? Besides, we can't make it cheap for unscrupulous merchants, so today Weiku Seafood is here to teach everyone how to distinguish between Longli fish and Pasha fish.

The easiest way is to look at the appearance of the whole fish. If you want to eat fresh Longli fish, it is recommended to buy live or whole chilled fish directly. Such fish is not peeled, but still looks like an "insole", and the two small eyes tilted to one side can also be recognized at a glance.

However, if you are buying fish fillet, you should be cautious. First of all, read the outer package carefully. If there are words such as freshwater fish, catfish, Vietnam of origin, "CABASA" or "BASA" on it, it is definitely that the basa fish has not run away.

Of course, the pasha fish and the longli fish after turning into fish fillets are not completely different, because the longli fish itself is a thin piece of life lying on the bottom of the sea, the cut meat will not be too thick, and the thickness of the meat on both sides is also different, while the pasha fish is mostly a fish cut in half and sold, the fish meat is thicker, and the fillet is about the same thickness.

And from the price point of view, basa fish is also cheaper, so when you encounter the "Longli fish sale" in the supermarket, you should also pay attention to be vigilant!

Although basa fish has the "criminal record" of imitating longli fish, we do not need to put it into the "cold palace". After all, objectively speaking, basa fish is still a kind of excellent edible fish, with tender meat and less spines, rich protein, and relatively standardized breeding process. It is also good for the body to eat more at ordinary times.

Although Longli fish is better in taste and nutrition, salvia fish also has its own price advantage, and it can hold heavy taste. Boiled fish, pickled fish and pickled fried fish are all suitable food choices for it. How to choose, let's ask which one you want to eat more.
