There is a saying when eating fish in rural areas: Don’t choose between silver carp heads, grass carp waists, and mullet heads. What does it mean?

Introduction to this issue: There is a saying in rural areas when it comes to eating fish: don’t choose between silver carp heads, grass carp waists, and mullet heads. What does it mean?

This is an ‘old saying’. Logistics was not so developed in the past. Everywhere, people rely on mountains to eat mountains, and people rely on water to eat fish. In particular, Northeast China has the most fertile black soil in the world. The largest area of ??wetland. It is extremely rich in water resources. It's like beating a roe deer with a stick and scooping up fish with a scoop... I remember there was no TV when I was a kid. Propaganda relies on radio and loudspeakers. So the fun for rural children is skateboarding in winter. Take a bath and catch fish in summer. To be honest, I didn’t know what delicious food there was outside the mountains at that time. But the mountains are so innocently blue and the water is so clear. As long as you are thirsty. I'm sure you can find a spring and drink it sweetly.

That’s because the fish in the river grow naturally. The silver carp does not need any more seasonings, it can be stewed with sauce, firewood, and a large iron pot to make it fragrant. At that time, the fish found their own food and grew naturally. All kinds of fish kings are available every year. The rapid growth of silver carp is the result of "eating high-quality grains" today. Even the belly (now called fish belly) of the silver carp we ate when we were young was fatter than the head of the silver carp today. At that time, the fish brain and fish oil in the heads of silver carp were the best rewards in an era of scarcity. Therefore, silver carp (fish) ranks first among common freshwater fish. It’s because silver carp has a delicious smell when it’s full of fat and is full of fat.

Grass carp is easier to catch than silver carp. After all, it's much smaller. The body is slender. Swimming speed is fast. But the strength in the water is much less. Grass carp has a higher meat yield rate than silver carp. The belly of the fish is full of meat except for the slender swim bladder and a little bit of internal organs. And there are less burrs. The flesh is transparent and firm. No fishy smell. It is the new favorite of the table boiled series. But in the past, grass carp did not receive such high treatment as it does today. The reason is because it is "lean" and has more meat and less oil. Eating "not so fragrant" When we were young, we really didn't know that in addition to the fragrance, there was also the word "fresh" to describe the taste. Therefore, grass carp is described as having the highest meat yield among common freshwater fish in rural areas. More meat and less waste. In an era of frugal living - diligence and frugality are not only virtues

We call black fish sticks in the mountains. The fish was difficult to catch at that time. Snakehead fish eat meat and often ambush small fish, waterfowl and the like, using all their muscles. It swims very fast and its whereabouts are relatively secretive. Very strong in the water. If you are hit by a black fish, you will be so painful that you will grin. Make sure you get a bruise when you get ashore. However, the meat yield rate of this fish is a little higher than that of grass carp. The meat is crystal clear. Everyone in the mountains knows that this fish tastes best when it is boiled. Fish bones and fish heads are fried in large oil and stewed in soup over high heat. That's a delicious drink. Sprinkle some coriander and slice cucumber. Use the fried chili oil to directly slice the fish and mix it before eating. Sour, spicy and refreshing. It was really refreshing to drink fish soup after eating.

The black fish head has no meat. But the black fish is extremely delicious when fried in oil and stewed in hot water. Treating guests with it is a delicious treat. So you don’t want to pick the head of the mullet. Fish head and fish bone soup is delicious. It is the warm hospitality of the host. Don't be picky about making soup with fish heads and bones because you are disrespecting your distinguished guests. In fact, this is the essence of the black fish method. Summary

The price of fish on the market is now more stable than that of native porcupine. The variety is also rich, and the stall owner enthusiastically helps to pack the fish. Save worry and effort. The seasoning is still full. But I just can’t taste the same taste as when I was a child

For freshwater fish, it is a frequent visitor on our dining table and our favorite meat in daily life. The fish is delicious, delicate and nutritious. There is also an old saying that eating four legs is not as good as eating two legs, and eating two legs is not as good as eating without legs. This means that eating livestock is not as good as eating poultry, and poultry is not as good as fish. Eating fish is bad for our body. It is extremely beneficial. Fish are not only abundant and colorful, but also each part of the fish has a different taste depending on the fish. It has also been derived into some catchy sayings, describing those freshwater fish that we are familiar with as the most delicious. parts are explained.

There is a common saying called: bighead carp head, grass carp tail, silver carp belly and carp mouth. It means that the most delicious parts of these four freshwater fish are these. Bighead carp is also the most delicious part. Big head, the head of this kind of fish is fat, meaty, and extremely tender. It is the most delicious fish head, bar none. The tail of grass carp and the belly of silver carp are the most delicious ingredients, and the gills of carp are the most delicious. The tender piece of meat is the best part that is juicy and melts in your mouth.

In addition to this well-known saying, there is also the saying that you should not choose between the head of silver carp, the waist of grass carp, and the head of mullet, which also refers to the most delicious part of a fish.

Silver carp head: Silver carp is also a bighead carp. As the saying goes, silver carp is also called big-headed fish, fat-headed fish and many other names related to the head. Silver carp is covered in white and white, and its head grows so big that it can occupy More than one-third of the weight, the fish head has delicate meat, and the meat is especially tender and plentiful. The most important thing when eating silver carp is that you cannot resist the temptation of the fish head. Dishes made with silver carp head are widely praised. It is a famous dish and is also a representative work in many cuisines. Except for the fish head, the meat of other parts of silver carp is not as fresh and tender. It is often made into fish balls or other ingredients. It is the most delicious and most eaten. Belongs to fish head.

Grass carp waist: Grass carp is also a kind of freshwater fish that we like very much. It is very long and has a streamlined body. Grass carp eats a lot. It moves constantly in search of food throughout the day. Its huge amount of activity begins early. In addition to the strong waist of grass carp, the meat of the waist, tail and other parts of grass carp is dense and elastic due to constant movement. The texture and taste are the most delicious and sweet in grass carp. To eat grass carp, you must eat the second half. The section is better, which has a lot to do with the activities and growth habits of grass carp. Therefore, the texture and taste of different parts of the fish are also different.

Mullet’s head: There was a saying in the past: Carp head, crucian carp waist, black stick head used as firewood. What does this mean? In the past, when eating fish heads, when silver carp and bighead carp were unavailable, carp heads were used to make them. Crucian carp naturally eats the waist, while the head of mullet is all bones, has no meat, and has little value, so it can only be used to burn firewood. It is different now. Although the mullet head does not have much meat, as the mullet head with the most bones, it is the best material for making soup and soup. Use the mullet head to make fish bone soup, which has a rich white color and rich taste. It is extremely delicious, and because it is the most abundant, there is no need to burn firewood for mullet heads now. It is also a delicious ingredient, and the price is doubling.

"Don't choose between the head of silver carp, the waist of grass carp, and the head of grass carp." This sentence is very common in rural areas and the meaning is very simple: the head of silver carp, the waist of grass carp. The heads of mullet and mullet are all high-quality ingredients. They have different cooking methods and taste extremely delicious, so they are very popular among the public.

In rural areas, silver carp, grass carp and mullet are rarely on the table. For those rural people who face the loess and back to the sky, they can only eat silver carp head, grass carp waist or mullet head. It's simply a luxury. Later, as the economic level improved, these three delicacies became more and more common at rural banquets. Silver carp head: How to make minced pepper fish head, an enjoyment on the tip of the tongue

Silver carp is one of the traditional "four major fishes" in China. Every year, countless wild silver carp swim upstream along the Yangtze River. And above, they lay eggs and reproduce. In some places, silver carp is also called fat-headed fish, big-headed fish, and black silver carp. These naming methods are all based on the phenotypic characteristics of silver carp. For example, silver carp has a large head and a bloated body, which is smaller than that of white silver carp. The color is dark.

The scientific name of silver carp is bighead carp. It feeds on zooplankton in the water. The distance between the gill rakers of silver carp is very small and it can continuously filter water to obtain food. The reason why silver carp head has become a well-known delicacy is mainly related to the famous dish of "chopped pepper fish head".

To make fish head with chopped pepper, wash the silver carp, make two cuts on the fish with a knife, apply shredded ginger, pour cooking wine, and marinate for about 10 minutes. After the water in the pot boils, chop the chilies and steam them with the fat fish heads for 12 minutes, then turn off the heat and wait another three minutes.

Of course, the cooking methods in different regions are still different in details, but the taste is nothing to say, it is simply one of a kind, making people want to eat it again! Grass carp loin: tight meat, elastic texture, delicious flavor

Grass carp is more familiar to everyone. It is common in the north and south of my country. It is also one of the "four major fishes". It is also known as grass carp, Grassroots are called grassroots in the Northeast region.

It is not difficult to tell from the name of grass carp that grass carp is a typical herbivorous fish and likes to eat the young leaves of various plants. But you may not know that grass carp is not strictly a "vegetarian" when it is young. Many aquatic insect larvae, earthworms and other small animals are also on the diet of grass carp.

The meat in the loin of grass carp accounts for most of the body. The meat in this part is firmer and even feels chewy when eaten. No matter in terms of taste or texture, grass carp loin is the most delicious and fragrant, simply impeccable. For a grass carp, you can only taste the essence if you eat the meat from the waist. Don’t pick the brain of the mullet: it has less meat, but it’s great for making soup

The mullet is actually what we often call black fish. In some places, it’s also called raw fish, talented fish, filial fish, and fire head. A very ferocious carnivorous fish.

In the pond, snakehead fish is a ruthless character and can almost kill other small fish. In the past, farmers regarded snakeheaded fish as a thorn in their side. Once snakeheaded fish were mixed into the pond, it meant that the output of the pond would definitely be greatly reduced. But now, snakeheaded fish has become a cultured species, with the output easily exceeding tens of thousands of kilograms per mu. There is considerable aquaculture production in Guangdong and other places.

Mullet has few bones and is a good material for making grilled fish and pickled fish. The head of the mullet has very little meat, so this part is best used for making soup. The resulting soup is milky white and has a delicious flavor that makes people want to stop eating it. Mullet soup is also a rare nourishing product for postpartum women. It has the effects of nourishing blood and strengthening muscles, nourishing and recuperating, strengthening the spleen and diluting water. Summary

In the long-term production practice, people have formed unique cooking methods for different ingredients. For common freshwater fish, the meat quality and cooking methods of different parts are very different. "Silver carp head, grass carp waist, and mullet brain" are just three typical examples.

It must be said that the wisdom of ordinary people is endless. When it comes to "eating", the hard-working people have never stopped exploring, which is really admirable!

If you have a different opinion, please point it out and discuss it!

This sentence should not be a common saying in rural areas, but the common sense of people who love to eat fish.

Everyone knows that the four major freshwater fishes in our country are green carp, grass carp, silver carp and bighead carp. This sentence includes two of the four major freshwater fishes - grass carp and bighead carp.

As a person who lives and grows up by the sea, I don’t eat much freshwater fish, but grass carp, silver carp, bighead carp, and mullet (also known as black fish) are still eaten frequently. This is due to the popularity of Sichuan and Hunan cuisine, as well as the popular Lijiang grouper fish pot. Why do you say you can’t choose between silver carp heads, grass carp waists, and mullet heads?

1. The head of silver carp

2. The waist of grass carp

3. Don’t choose the skull of mullet Conclusion: silver carp head, grass carp waist, Don't pick the mullet's head. This proverb is actually a "speak from experience" summed up by people who love to eat fish. It can be said to be a very reasonable sentence, don’t you think so?

Uninvited!

This common saying means that when eating fish, which part is the most delicious and nutritious, and in the corresponding season, eat the corresponding part! Only in this way can you get the best taste and nutrition.

Silver carp is not as active as silver carp! It likes to stay in the middle layer of the water for most of its life and rarely swims, so most of its nutrients are stored in its head!

But with the same head, there are differences in the four seasons of the year! The most delicious and nutritious time is in winter.

When eating fish in rural areas, there has always been a saying: eat the head in winter, eat the tail in summer, and eat the fins in spring and autumn. Therefore, it is best to eat silver carp heads in winter!

Grass carp, hence the name, mainly eats grass. Grass carp mainly consumes its own fat in the four seasons of the year, winter and early spring. Because there is a lack of forage in winter and early spring, if winter Without feeding other feeds, grass carp will become leaner and leaner. If you choose to eat grass carp waist at this time, you will not achieve the best results in terms of meat quality and nutritional content!

I believe most farmers know that the grass grows most vigorously from March to the beginning of summer! Therefore, the most suitable time for grass carp is between the Qingming Festival and the plum rainy season in May and June!

During the rainy season from March in Yangchun to May and June in the lunar calendar, due to the suitable water temperature, the fish are most active during this period, and when they are active, they keep swinging the fish. Fins and waist and abdomen, so if you want to eat the most plump grass carp waist, it is during this period!

Before liberation, China had a special group of people - child brides. Child brides have to do all the housework, and are beaten and scolded by their parents-in-law from time to time. They can only eat leftovers from family members!

I heard from the elders that the child bride at that time was so delicious: one fish head and three pieces of meat, one bowl of pot cake and three bowls of rice...! From what outsiders heard, they thought that this child bride was so good at eating, but that was not the case. All child brides could never have enough to eat! A fish head here has three pieces of meat, but actually there is only one fish head! And one bowl of pot cake and three bowls of rice are actually just one pot cake!

The most representative fish head and three pieces of meat here refer to the mullet head! You know, there is a piece of meat on both sides of the black fish's cheeks. These two pieces of meat are firm, smooth and delicious! The other piece of meat is from the lower forehead, which is also extremely delicious, so don’t choose the mullet skull.

In fact, eating fish is also very particular during the four seasons of the year: the head is eaten in winter (fat), the tail is eaten in summer (live meat), and the fins are eaten in spring and autumn. Corresponding to the seasons, Eat the corresponding parts so that you can get the most delicious and delicious taste...!

Generally speaking, the head of the river fish silver carp is the most popular. Not only people in the mainland like to eat it, but also in coastal areas. Moreover, this fish grows fast and is cheaper than seafood. The bigger the head of silver carp, the more delicious it is, but the water quality of modern fish, whether it is river fresh seafood, is very important. When buying, it is best to identify the old owner and customer, he will tell you what water quality the fish is. This kind of fish is best grown in reservoirs or lakes with good water quality. The better the water quality, the better the taste. There are two ways to cook the head of silver carp: soup and braised, and both methods mainly focus on the whole head! Grass carp is a low-end fish among river fish. It has a small head and a strong smell. The two rows of teeth on the head are mainly smelly, so the kitchen chef must clean the teeth on the head. This kind of fish has tender meat and cannot be cooked for too long. Nowadays, restaurants are promoting the recipe of pickled fish, so more and more people are eating it, and the price is cheap. Of course, grass carp must eat the waist part. For those who don’t know how to cook it, the teeth will not be removed and it will not taste good and smell. Most family recipes mainly include braised fish and fish cubes. Snakeheaded fish has the best meat quality and is also the best fish among river fish. Its head has no meat and its bones are very hard. Home cooking methods of snakeheaded fish mainly include fort soup and braised in soy sauce. Generally, the head, tail, ribs, and skin are used to make soup. It is best to put a pack of fried shredded vegetables and it will be delicious. However, most home recipes are based on braised soup! But it's different in restaurants. There are many ways to do it. Because the meat of snakeheaded fish is firm and has no small spines, it can be sliced, shredded, stir-fried, made into sweet and sour or vinegar paste, pickled fish, etc. Its meat is not easy to break, but it is best for this kind of fish to be wild. But chefs can cook it even if they breed it, but families can’t do it. The cultured meat is very good at breaking up! ! ! So as the saying goes in rural areas: Don’t choose between the head of silver carp, the waist of grass carp, and the head of black fish. It’s very interesting! Silver carp head and grass carp waist are indeed delicious. As for the mullet head, since I have never eaten or seen it, I really don’t know whether the mullet head is delicious or has more meat. Let me talk about silver carp head and grass carp waist.

To be honest, I really didn’t eat fish when I was growing up in Jilin, especially these larger fish. Usually, I mostly eat small miscellaneous fish such as willow roots and skewers from small rivers in rural areas, because these small miscellaneous fish are very delicious when cooked. I don't eat this type of relatively large fish because it has a strong fishy smell in my mouth.

But since I came to work in Heilongjiang, after eating river fish from the lower reaches of the Songhua River, Heilongjiang River and Wusuli River, I gradually started to eat some river fish, such as white fish, rabbit fish, bream flowers, crucian carp seeds, etc., and occasionally I can stew a fish head or make some fish meatballs. Anyone who likes to eat fish knows that different parts of different species of fish have different characteristics and tastes, among which silver carp heads are the most distinctive.

In our Northeast, there is a famous dish called fish head puff pastry. The fish head among them is the head of silver carp. Silver carp is called fat head in our Northeast and is also quite famous. One of the characteristics of the fathead fish is that it has a large head and a smaller body than other fish. Generally speaking, fish head cakes are made from fish heads weighing more than 4 pounds. Such fish heads are larger, have more meat and contents in the head, and are more delicious to eat. Taste. Cut the fish head in the middle but don't cut it off, stew it for a long time with the Northeast's unique soybean paste, add sugar, rice vinegar, onion, ginger, garlic, etc., and finally throw the noodles cut into small pieces into the fish soup. It's very delicious. Taste of a dish. It is said that there is also a method of using pickled peppers to stew fish heads, but I have never tried it. In addition, you can also add some thinly sliced ??Northeastern tofu when stewing the fish head. When you eat it, you will find that the flavor of the fish head is absorbed by the tofu, and the tofu is even more flavorful than the fish head.

Grass carp is also one of the more common fish species in China. Grass carp mainly feeds on grass, especially wild grass carp that grow in rivers, reservoirs, and rivers. Sometimes in order to eat fresh grass leaves, they need to jump out of the water with their waist and tail to eat the grass leaves. This also creates The reason why the meat of grass carp waist and tail is extraordinarily tender. In the words of ordinary people, "the meat of the waist and tail are both living meat." Therefore, many people say that when eating grass carp, you need to eat the middle and rear parts of the fish body. This is also more scientific. If you are eating wild grass carp, a milky white soup will come out when stewed, but many people don't like this color and will order some dark soy sauce to color it. Therefore, to eat grass carp, you need to eat the middle and rear parts of the fish body.

As for the head of a mullet, I have never seen or eaten it, so I won’t be blind. If anyone knows more, please add some information.

The above are some of my views on this issue. Please forgive me if there is any inappropriateness.

There is a saying about eating fish in rural areas: Don’t choose between silver carp heads, grass carp waists, and mullet heads. What does this mean?

My daughter-in-law grew up in a rural area. She said:

When she was a child, there was a small river not far from our house. Her grandfather was still very strong in those years and had When I was free, I would cast a net in the river. If I was lucky, I could catch some small fish, most of the time they were very small crucian carp;

Because in those years, my family had fields for farming, and my parents They all have to work in the fields. My grandpa is old and doesn’t have to go to the fields. He just takes care of the family’s three meals a day at home. He often casts a net for fishing, goes out after lunch, catches small crucian carp, and goes home quickly. Clean up and give us extra food for dinner;

Grandpa's method is also relatively simple, frying in a pan until golden brown on both sides, then braise and stew, a large pot of braised crucian carp, their brothers and sisters One for each person. Although the small crucian carp has many bones, it was considered a delicacy to her at that time;

Because of the living habits she developed when she was a child, my wife likes to eat fish very much, and she will not pick any fish. , after getting married, because of her living habits, my wife didn’t understand eating fish heads very much. She always felt that eating fish heads was boring;

And I heard from my mother that a fat-headed fish weighs three pounds. The price is not cheap, so every time I eat fish heads at home, my wife will tell me that it is better to buy a fish for more than 30 yuan to buy a fish head;

I saw the subject of the question today. This question and answer question: Don’t choose between silver carp head, grass carp waist, and mullet head. It reminded me of my wife’s attitude towards eating fish, and I suddenly realized that it turned out to be like this:

1. First of all, there are differences between urban and rural areas. When my wife was young, in the countryside, the fish she ate was caught by her grandfather casting a net in the river. Although it took time and labor, there was no money. To put it another way, it can It is understood that if you rely on mountains to eat mountains, if you rely on water to eat water, you will be happy if you have fish to eat, which is a gift from God;

2. After coming to the city, her attitude towards eating fish has not changed, that is to say, Her world view of these worlds has not been revised in time, and she views the attitude of city people eating fish with the same attitude as when she was a child in rural areas, relying on mountains to eat mountains and water to eat water;

3. Tell me why my mother likes to eat fish. Fish head? This starts with group cognition. In my mother’s world, you need to spend money to eat fish or eat any delicious food. It will not be like the situation when my wife stayed in the countryside, casting a net. You can get fish;

4. Since you are spending money to buy fish, you will have all kinds of worries. What are you worried about? This can be understood as how to maximize benefits? It can also be said to be the most cost-effective purchase. Take the bighead carp as an example. We call it fat-headed fish because of the group recognition. In my mother’s eyes, it was also influenced by everyone and my own practice many times. Finally, I found The head of bighead carp is the most delicious. On the contrary, the meat of bighead carp is really not very delicious;

5. Similar to this group perception, the reason why my wife has not changed can be used as a common saying. , when you are not a family, you don’t know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. When my daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law, due to long-term practice, she will naturally be affected by group cognition and change involuntarily;

There are benefits to eating fish in rural areas As the saying goes, don't choose between the silver carp head, the grass carp waist, and the mullet head. What does this mean?

There are sayings like this about eating fish in rural areas. It can be said to be a summary of people’s understanding of food in their daily lives. It is equivalent to telling everyone through sayings how to eat fish? For example: when eating silver carp, which is what I call fat-headed fish, group cognition tells everyone that the most delicious part of eating this kind of fish is the fish head. We will expand on this understanding below and briefly explain it to you. What is the general meaning of this rural saying?

1. First of all, let us explain to you respectively, what are silver carp head, grass carp waist and mullet?

Silver carp is also called bighead carp, fat-headed fish, and big-headed fish. It is a typical freshwater fish. Its essence is all in the head. In many cuisines, fish head with chopped pepper can be said to be the representative dish. Most of them are used What’s better is the head of silver carp. Compared with the fish head, other parts of silver carp are not as delicious as the head. For silver carp, eating the head is the best choice;

2 Everyone must be familiar with grass carp. For grass carp, it is the most beautiful

The most flavorful parts are its waist and tail, which are all "live meat" and taste very delicious;

3. Mullet is called rich fish here, and it is also called black fish. There are no tiny fish in the whole body. Fish bones are the first choice for stews. Although the fish meat is delicious, its heads are all bones. It feels like a waste of oil and salt to cook in the pot. Most of the time when eating mullet, the fish head is the part with the least taste;

4. The fat-headed fish is what the subject calls the silver carp head. It has white and white stripes and a huge head. The meat on the fish head is delicate and tender. It is sold in the vegetable market. The fish head of the fat-headed fish is much more expensive than the fish body. But people are still willing to buy only fish heads. The reason is that although buying the whole fish seems economical, most people only eat the fish heads, and it is a waste to buy the fish body home. Therefore, most of the time, fish stall owners will invest in it. The good news is that the fish heads are sold to diners separately;

5. Grass carp is bought whole, but when eating it, regardless of the various cooking methods, only the taste of the fish meat, the second half of grass carp The taste is obviously better than the first half, and the main reason is related to the living habits of grass carp;

6. The brains of mullet are all bones, and there is no fish meat, so they have no value. People in the past Most of them eat fish, so there is such a saying. Nowadays, when we eat mullet, we still mainly make soup, so the mullet head has a little effect;

At the end of writing, I still want to say a few words, there is a saying in rural areas when eating fish, don’t choose between silver carp head, grass carp waist, and mullet head. What does this mean?

There are many varieties of freshwater fish and they are widely distributed. People in different provinces, when transportation was inconvenient in the past, might be able to eat several local freshwater fish, so they With such a saying, its purpose is simple and clear, it is to tell future generations that these kinds of fish are the most delicious when eaten this way;

Finally, thank you for reading, you can give us some feedback in the comment area Let’s take note. Let’s talk about your views? Sharing brings happiness, we are waiting for you in the comment area!

This proverb is common sense in life and the experience of eating fish. Meaning: Silver carp has a big and plump head, so the head is the first choice; grass carp has the most meat in the middle and has fewer spines, so the waist is the first choice; mullet, also called black carp and black fish, has a head full of bones. , don’t eat it, and can’t eat it, because there is no meat.

To put it into detail, among the four major species of fish, including marine and freshwater fish, none can compare to the silver carp in terms of head. The head is not only big, but also fat. It's not greasy like fat, but fat and tender like collagen. It's easy to make and just steams for a few minutes. It tastes fresh and absorbs beautifully like jelly. It's nutritious, high in protein, less fat and less carbohydrates.

The most common way to cook silver carp head is to "steam" it. Because it is too big, it cannot be cooked like ordinary steamed fish. Just steam the fish until it is cooked, sprinkle with chopped green onion, pour hot oil, and drizzle with light soy sauce. This dish is made using Hunan and Sichuan methods, using pickled peppers to steam it to suppress the fishy smell, bring out the deliciousness, and make it appetizing.

Let’s talk about grass carp waist. Because of its body shape, grass carp is nicknamed "grass carp stick", which is a big meat stick. Don’t even think about it, just pinch off the head and tail and get the middle part, the middle part is the most delicious. Don't do fancy cooking, just fry the whole section until both sides are browned, add onion, ginger, sweet wine, add water and simmer over high heat for half an hour, adjust the saltiness, turn off the heat and take it out, it's delicious.

As for the black fish head, the traditional custom in our hometown is to chop it and throw it away. No one uses it for cooking. Later, when snakeheaded fish became more expensive, even more expensive than crucian carp, or even several times more expensive, when I bought snakeheaded fish, I couldn’t bear to throw away the fish heads and put them together for cooking. However, the effect was very bad and completely ruined a delicious dish. With the fish head in it, the dish looks ugly, like leftovers. It was also uncomfortable to eat. The snakehead fish head was not a bone. Once boiled, it turned into a mess of fish bones, making the basin full of fish bones.

Later, I thought of a way and found out that the two cheeks of the black fish head have meat. So, when cleaning up, I first scraped off the fish scales on the cheeks, then cut off a piece of meat on one side, and threw away the rest.

This sentence goes like this in our hometown: "The edge of the bream, the spine of the crucian carp, the head of the fat head and the skin of the carp." The fat-headed catfish mentioned here refers to silver carp, also called bighead carp, and catfish is grass carp. As for the mullet in question, we call it black fish. There is no meat in the brain of snakehead fish, only some muscles in the gill cover. If someone wants to eat it, they say they are poaching the face of a black fish and eating its flesh, which is a metaphor for young people eating old people too much.

I remember when I was a kid, the adults and children in our place called the above fish like that. The herring is called the green carp. As for the later habit of calling it grass carp, Wuchang carp, etc., this is because the scale of breeding has expanded, traders from other provinces have come, and their names have influenced everyone. This is also a good exchange and a progress.

Let’s talk about the meaning of this saying. Silver carp, also known as fat-headed fish, eats a big fish head. In the past, at the fish market in my hometown, a whole fish was divided into two parts: head and body. Use a knife to kill it diagonally, leaving the fish head with some belly meat. The price of fish heads is much higher than that of fish bodies.

The fish head made from silver carp and chopped pepper tastes really good. Eating the fish head does not mean eating the brain, but the sticky gelatin of the whole fish head, which is especially tender and smooth. Experienced chefs make it without any fishy smell. Almost everyone loves this dish.

As the original title says, grass carp waist still refers to the delicious part of grass carp. In fact, take grass carp as an example. Every part of the body is thick and thick. If it is not cooked well, it will not taste good. Especially the grass carp raised on intensive feed now has a lot of water and a weak meat taste. It’s not fun to eat anywhere. The most delicious thing about grass-fed fish that has been raised for one or two years is the fish skin. The fish skin has a lot of glue, and when you peel it off, there is still red lean meat attached to it. After the salted cured fish is steamed and served, a piece of grass carp skin is worth more than half a pound of fish meat.

Finally, let’s talk briefly about bream and crucian carp. Bream is Wuchang fish, and its authentic body shape is wider. Nowadays, many people also call "head bream" as bream. These fish do eat the best belly meat. It also has a soft, waxy and fat but not greasy feeling. Crucian carp eats the spine, which is easy to understand. Not only are there few thorns, but the meat is sweet and fragrant.

That’s my answer to the saying about eating fish. Friends who like to eat fish can refer to it, but don’t choose delicious ones. There is only one fish on the table, and you have to take care of others!
