Hello, I am your life assistant, I have seen your problem and am inquiring for you, please wait a moment [heha].

Hello, I'm very happy to solve the problem for you[Heha] The difference in appearance: Hairtail fish belongs to deep-sea fish, the body of the fish has a layer of fine and dense silver scales, the shape is like a silver slender belt, there are sharp teeth and a pointed mouth, and the eyeballs are large and slightly protruding. The overall shape becomes narrower and more pointed from the neck to the tail, and looks like a slender cone from the side.

The tail of a saury fish is the same as that of a normal fish, and it is clearly different from that of a hairtail fish. The scales of the saury are more dense and uniform, neatly arranged and beautiful, and they are light white.

Difference in taste: The saury is a freshwater fish, especially the Yangtze River saury, which is known as the most delicious freshwater fish. The best saury does not require too many cooking skills, and a simple steaming is a delicacy in the world.

The meat of the saury is very delicate, and the fine fat is evenly distributed in the fish, and the taste is smooth and tender, which truly reaches the level of "melt in the mouth". The meat of the hairtail is slightly dry, and although it is delicious, it is still slightly inferior to the melt-in-your-mouth texture of the saury, so it is rarely steamed, and it is often cooked in a braised and pan-fried way. The saury basically has no fishy smell, while the hairtail fish has a strong fishy smell, and the main fishy smell is silver scales, but the nutritional value of fish scales is very high, and it is not recommended to scrape them off.
