Basic introduction of dried sea yellow croaker

The six lined fish, commonly known as "yellow croaker", belongs to the nearshore cold and warm benthic fish. Its body is yellow brown, with irregular gray brown cloud spots of different sizes and shapes on its sides. There are 5 lateral lines on each side, and the middle of the tail is slightly concave. This fish has tender meat and high economic value. In addition to supplying the domestic market, it can also be exported. Yellow croaker usually takes about two years to grow into a commercial size of 200 to 300 grams

The dried meat of long sea yellow croaker is tight and not soft, with a filamentous shape, clean and shiny, with a fragrant aroma and no oil bleeding

How did the history of dried yellow croaker from Changhai come about

Yellow croaker was once known as the "patriotic fish" in the 1970s until the mid-1970s. Zhoushan Fishing Ground, as the main spawning ground for large yellow croaker and a "private fishing pond" and seafood source for Shanghai people, accounted for half of the annual catch of large yellow croaker. Due to the large production volume and inadequate preservation technology, once there is a backlog of fish caught, the labor government has to mobilize everyone to eat as much as possible. Therefore, fish was once known as the "patriotic fish" in the 1970s, just like Beijing's cabbage. The reason why the Shanghai dialect refers to the vehicle with the scientific name "human foot pedal three wheeled transport truck" as the "yellow croaker vehicle" is believed to be related to the large yellow croaker - to be precise, it is related to the abundance and cheapness of the large yellow croaker in the past: because the vehicle was wrapped in yellow cloth and ran around the streets in the old days, resembling groups of large yellow croakers swimming in the sea. To this day, whenever the topic mentions "yellow croaker cars", there is basically no good news

With so many fish, how to eat them in different ways and make flowers out of them has become a human problem. Therefore, it is unknown how many water spirited yellow croakers were sun dried into dried salted fish, also known as yellow croaker, and were eaten with them. The method of drying dried yellow croaker and the name of the yellow croaker, which is still very annoying today, are both said to be related to the King of Wu: "When the King of Wu returned to the army, he met with his courtiers, thought about the fish he had eaten in the sea, and asked where they were left. The magistrate reported, 'And expose the dried fish.' The King of Wu asked for it, and its taste was delicious. Because he wrote about the fish in his book, it was called 'jian'."
