How to Tell Authentic Wild Fish? How can you tell if a crucian carp is wild?

Looking at the color of the fish, wild carp are golden yellow, as shown in the picture above, while raised carp are pale black. But this method is now only 50% correct, because there are now carp raised in pond yellow muddy water that are similar in color to wild carp, which many people will be fooled. The raised carp is about 10 yuan a catty, and the wild carp can be sold for 30-40 yuan a catty, so it has 3-4 times more income, so many people in the market now use the raised carp to pretend to be wild carp to sell.

Wild carp. Looking at the fish's mouth, the wild carp has a thick mouth ring, and the mouth ring is still yellow, and there are two thick whiskers, and the mouth ring looks like a rubber ring. Raised carp, on the other hand, do not have thick mouth rings, and the mouth rings are black.

Thick mouth rings.

Also, when killing fish, the blood of wild carp is thicker, more, and there is a little sticky feeling. The blood of the raised carp is relatively light and has a fishy smell.

Wild carp. The taste is very different, the meat quality of wild carp is very good, and it tastes tight. Unlike farmed carp, which tastes powdery and has no fish taste, the soup of wild carp is very fresh.

I pass on my experience to you, why do you say that? Because I love to eat fish the most, what are the following points to distinguish authentic wild fish? First, look at the growth ring line of the fish, wild fish, grow slowly, the same size of fish, fish raised in fish ponds, can grow so big in a year, and wild look at the growth rings, at least four or five years.

Looking at the shape again, the fish in the fish pond are relatively short and fat, and the scales of the fish are not bright and dark, while the wild river fish are well-proportioned and of moderate length, especially the scales of the fish, which are shiny and shiny. The second point is that after slaughtering, there is a lot of fat and oil in it, and most of them have a layer of black film, so it is concluded that it is a fish from a fish pond. After the wild fish is slaughtered, there is no fat in it, and there is no black film inside, so it can be concluded that it is wild.

Third, a little, the taste after cooking, if it is a stewed fish, let's talk about the fish in the fish pond, its soup is white, the taste is not chewy, and most of the fish like this are fish in the fish pond. Unlike wild fish, the soup is not white, but a clear soup, which has a crispy feeling and chewiness in the mouth, and there is no earthy smell of earth, which can be concluded to be wild fish. To add that if the conditions meet the standards of wild fish, there is also a layer of black membrane in the fish slaughter, please do not eat this kind of fish, it is a fish grown in river water polluted by some substance, which is not good for health.

How to Tell Authentic Wild Fish? Here's how:

1. Hairtail

In winter, it is the season to eat hairtail, the meatiness of the hairtail fish in winter is the fattest, it can be said that it is the most beautiful fish in the seafood market, the hairtail is also known as the knife fish, because of living in the deep sea area, the air pressure is relatively large, the pressure becomes smaller after Pula goes ashore, Yushan is difficult to adapt, there will be a situation of immediate death, so the artificial hairtail can not breed the hairtail, the hairtail is rich in lecithin, the nutrition is very rich, you can eat more.

2. Mackerel. There is a saying in Shandong called "mackerel jumping, the zhang people laugh", the mackerel in this sentence refers to the mackerel we are going to talk about now, mackerel is also known as mackerel, mackerel is a common wild marine fish in the northern coastal areas, mackerel itself is not of high economic value, and the survival rate of artificial breeding is relatively low, and the cost of breeding is very high, so it is meaningless to breed mackerel, it can be said that basically no one breeds. The mackerel we bought at the market was caught in the wild.

3. Yellow croaker.

Yellow croaker is divided into big yellow croaker and small yellow croaker, is one of the three major seafood in China, yellow croaker is not only low in fat content, and nutritious, is a kind of ingredient that is delicious and does not gain weight, yellow croaker meat is tender and delicious, I heard that Yantai people love yellow croaker the most, yellow croaker is a kind of cluster migratory fish that belongs to the warm and warm offshore sea, it will die when it leaves the seawater, so it can not be artificially cultivated.

4. Flat fish. Flat fish is a kind of silver pomfret, flat fish body is relatively flat, a little close to diamond shape, and the meat is spiny and less, because the meat is spiny, so it is deeply loved by the public, 6-7 months The flat fish on the market is the most fat and also belongs to the migratory fish, so it can not be artificially cultivated.

When we go to the market to buy fish, there are all kinds of fish in it, including wild fish and farmed fish; how to distinguish wild fish from farmed fish; Let me tell you about my personal experience.

Tools Raw materials.

Wild fish and farmed fish.

Distinguishing method. Method steps.

Identified by body type.

Farmed fish are stubby and obese, while wild fish are slender and lean; Because the farmed fish have sufficient food and little exercise, they have gained weight; The food of wild fish is unstable and often killed, so wild fish keep running away in order to survive, and the amount of exercise is particularly large, which will cause wild fish to be slender and thin.

Judging by the scales.

Before the fish is braised in a braised fish, the fish should be scaled; At this time, it should be noted that wild fish scales are more difficult to scrape, while farmed fish scales are easy to scrape off; Because the amount of exercise of healthy fish is large, the scales will grow strong; The scales of farmed fish are softer and can be easily removed.

Judging by the color in the mouth and inside the belly of the fish.

Generally, farmed fish have a black color in their mouths and stomachs, while wild fish are yellow or white; Because the water in the fish pond is not so clear, some are black; Wild fish live in relatively large rivers and the water is clear, so the color of the mouth of wild fish is yellow or white.

Judging by the quality of the meat.

The meat of wild fish is relatively tight, chewy, and delicious; The meat quality of farmed fish is relatively loose, the chew is poor, and the taste is not so delicious; Because wild fish exercise a lot, have less body fat, and have strong muscles, they live in clean water, so the taste of wild fish is delicious.

Judging by the **.

Generally, the ** of wild fish is more expensive than that of farmed fish, about 1-2 yuan more expensive per catty; Fish dealers sometimes mix farmed fish into wild fish and sell them at a high price, so you must see clearly, don't spend a high price but buy the lowest fish farmed;

1. First of all, you can look at the body shape of the fish, the body shape of the wild fish is streamlined and very beautiful, the wild body color is light, and the head and body are coordinated. The general body color of domestic breeding is darker, due to sufficient feeding, the back and abdomen are basically plump, and even the head is wider, a little bloated, not good-looking. 2. Wild fish are more sensitive and difficult to catch, and domestic fish are more clumsy and especially easy to catch.

3. You can also look at the intestines of the fish, if the intestines of the fish are a bunch and particularly fat, then it is a domestic fish, if the intestines of the fish are relatively small, and relatively clean, it means that it is a wild fish. 4. Most of the wild fish are high-backed, and some citizens joke that they are "humpbacks", while forage fish are mostly elongated. If you look closely at its mouth, the difference is not small, the snout of wild fish is longer than the eyeball**, the lips are white or light red, and the snout is white.

Forage fish have a snout that only reaches the anterior edge of the orbit, a black or light black lip, and a snout that is close to black in color. Looking at its tail fin, wild fish mostly show an uneven light black, forage fish tail fin color.

There are several ways to identify authentic wild fish. First, the end of the snout at the lower end of the snout at the mouth of the wild fish is close to the eye socket, but the end of the hind whisker of the feed carp is only half the distance from the eye socket. Second, the scales of wild carp are yellow in color, and the feed carp are blue-gray.

Thirdly, there is also a clear difference in the color of the lower half of the tail fin and the anal fin, with wild fish showing a more vivid orange color, and forage fish being black-gray and slightly reddish!

Teach you how to distinguish between wild crucian carp and ordinary crucian carp, and you are no longer afraid of buying the wrong one, take a look.

Artificially fed crucian carp tend to have larger scales, and the lateral line should generally have more than 28 scales! There are only 28 wild ones.

When the indistinguishable farm runs out, it is less than one or two, and the wild water grows to three taels, do you say it is wild?

Who says there is no difference in nutrition between wild fish and farmed fish? The feed of farmed fish contains a lot of antibiotics and hormones, which are harmful to humans. :

The important thing is not whether it is wild or not, but the water quality of the crucian carp growing, most of the fish in the middle water are wild, and the color is more beautiful than the fish in the river water, and it is impossible to distinguish at all.

The scales of the lateral line of the wild crucian carp are only 28, and they are small for patient friends who can distinguish according to the characteristics of the scales of the crucian carp, generally speaking, due to the slow growth of the wild crucian carp, its scales tend to be much smaller, and there are only 28 scales on the lateral line of its body! For artificially fed crucian carp, the scales tend to be larger, and the lateral line should generally have more than 28 scales! ‍‍

Generally speaking, domesticated fish grow faster and have larger scales, while wild fish are denser and smaller because of unstable food and their growth is not as good as that of domesticated ones. Especially the abdominal scales, I hope you pay more attention. ‍‍

You can see the color of the fish, and the back color of the farmed ones is usually black; And the wild back is light in color, yellowish.

To see whether the crucian carp is wild or not, in addition to looking at the scale body shape and color, ordinary people can't see the reason, teach you the simplest way: look at the tail, the wild crucian carp in the natural environment, the tail is slender, slightly transparent, fan-shaped. The artificially farmed crucian carp generally has a very short tail and a darker color.

Count the scales, the 28 pieces of the lateral line are definitely the crucian carp species, and then look at the tail, the tail of the crucian carp is a little wider and shorter. It can be seen at a glance that I often know what I know about wild fishing.

Check the DNA, as long as you can't find the crucian carp of the biological father, they are all wild.
