Why do northerners like to buy hairtail for Chinese New Year?

It's New Year's Day again. When you walk on the streets of any city in the north, you can smell the thick smell of fried ponytails. In people's minds, it is a matter of course to eat hairtail during the Spring Festival. Hairtail also has its own unique characteristics. Nowadays, no matter what fish we eat, fishmongers will clean it up for free. If you take the fish home to wash, you can wash it directly. Only the braids need to be bought and cleaned by themselves. This will not affect the vigorous development of knitting business. So, why do you want to eat hairtail in the New Year?

2 Timely fishing season

There are fish every year. Where did the fish come from? It's easy to do in the south. There are rivers, lakes and oceans in the south. But in the north, especially in inland provinces, how can there be fish to eat every year?

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, did fish exist every year? More is people's good wishes. However, every year after the founding of New China, people have the same hope. In this way, the government's eyes fell on the annual East China Sea flood.

First of all, it makes sense to bring fish every year. The fishing season usually begins with light snow in 24 solar terms and lasts for about 3 months. In the Gregorian calendar, from 1 1 to the following year 1, that is, before the Lunar New Year, there is still time to transport hairtail. During the flood season, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Fujian and other provinces have a large number of hairtail transported northward, accounting for more than half of the total output. Beijing, Tianjin, Liaoning and other places have benefited more.

The second is the high yield in the fish season. In the flood season, cold air goes south, and there are often strong winds at sea. In order to keep out the cold, hairtail often gathers in offshore areas, where it is very dense, and even tens of thousands of kilograms can be captured by one net. The output during the whole flood season can be maintained at14-150,000 tons. With the development of fishing technology and suitable climatic conditions, the output of 200,000 tons is normal. For example, 1956, Zhoushan Islands is seven or eight days ahead of schedule, and fishermen plan to increase production by 600,000 tons.

Accurate time and high yield. Isn't the annual hairtail fishing season the fishing season for fish?

Fish suitable for northerners

Braids are popular in the north for two main reasons. First, there is a shortage of fish in the north. Due to the geographical conditions in the north, the fish species are not rich and the output is low. There has always been a great demand for fish in the north. What's more, raw materials were in short supply at that time, and all kinds of meat were in short supply, not to mention the valuable hairtail?

Secondly, hairtail is really suitable for the spleen and stomach of northerners. As the saying goes, a bite of fresh fish means that the fish tastes delicious, but it can't last long. If you put a little, the taste will be much worse, and the taste of frozen hairtail will not be destroyed. Northerners eat less fish, especially because there are many fishbones, which makes them unhappy. Hairtail, as a marine fish, is just suitable for the taste of northerners.

Therefore, although the living conditions have been greatly improved, eating hairtail in the New Year as a northern custom has been well preserved.
