Introduction: 6 kinds of small fish that were common in childhood were once despised and no one was eaten. Now it is difficult to buy
Do you like fishing? Are there many small fish and shrimps in your hometown river?
Although many people don’t like to eat fish, they loved fishing and catching fish in their childhood. It can be said that the fun of catching fish is far more than tasting delicious fish.
in the past conditions were relatively simple, so people here often used " Polygonum multiflorum grass " to pound it and went to the river to catch fish. Although this method may seem clumsy, it has immediate results. Pour the crushed hot potpourri grass into the small ditch, and in a short while you can see many small fish and shrimps floating out.
I have to say that the environment in the past was really good, and there were so many fish in the ditch. Many fish were despised by others because they were common and no one could eat them. Now they have become memories, and the prices are soaring to the sky, and it is difficult to buy them even if you have money.
Crawling fish
In my hometown, it is mostly called Stone Crawler , because it has two different colors and can be subdivided into bluestone Crawler and yellowstone Crawler. When I grew up, I realized that its scientific name is stone Crawler.
This is a small fish that looks very much like yellow tart, and it also has a "sting". If you accidentally get pricked by the sting on its back when catching it, it will be very painful, just like being stung by hornet .
This fish used to be more common in some streams and mountain spring waters, and it often moves at the bottom. But it is not big, usually about 10cm long. It is also because it is small and has poisonous stings on its body, and no one has eaten it before. Even if it is caught, it will be released directly.
However, in recent years, this kind of crawling fish has become very rare and is probably no longer seen in many places. Moreover, this kind of fish on the market can be sold for hundreds of yuan per pound, and if it is dried, it is even more expensive. At present, basically no one is breeding, so don’t miss it if you encounter it.
Willow root fish
This is a cold water fish, so it is generally more common in streams and deep pools in some mountainous areas. This is also one of the most primitive fish that experts call. The characteristics of
willow root fish are also quite obvious. They are slender and generally have a body length of 10-15cm, and they like group activities. Moreover, the abdomen of this fish is white, but the back is black and gray, and there are vague black stripes in the middle of the back, so it is easy to distinguish.
is a group activity, in the past, it was a fish that fishermen hated because they were too serious and it was not difficult to catch dozens of them at one time. However, few people ate it before, and now this kind of fish is sold for 70 or 80 yuan per pound.
Douyu
Douyu is a common fish in the fish tanks in the homes of many people who raise pet fish. However, this kind of Douyu is unique to our country. It is called Chinese Douyu .
As the name suggests, this kind of fish is very fighting. If you put several betfish in the same fish tank, they will fight frequently until they kill each other.
Douyu has strong vitality and can survive in rivers, ponds and ditches beside fields. When I was a child, I often caught this kind of fish. When I put it in a bucket, it is often the fish that will survive to the end.
In recent years, Douyu has become the darling of the ornamental fish market because of its ornamental value. Some people specialize in fishing in the wild and then take it to the market to sell it. One of the fish is good and can be sold for more than ten yuan.
Mirror fish
Most people call it kitchen knife fish, square skin, mirror fish, colored rounder, etc., and its scientific name is 金. Many people have seen this fish
, and people have always believed that it is a "bitter fish", which has been disliked by many people. In the past, I went to fish ponds and reservoirs to catch fish, and I could catch several kilograms with one net.
But it is basically fed to chickens and ducks. People don’t eat it because this kind of fish is very bitter.In fact, the fish is pretty good. After stirring it with flour and frying it, you will definitely cry for the kid next door.
, and it is worth mentioning that nowadays, mirror fish is a hot commodity. On e-commerce platforms, some people specialize in selling Jingyu, and one of them costs 5-15 yuan. However, this fish has a symbiotic relationship with river clams and must rely on river clams to reproduce. If the fish tank is cultivated, it is difficult to reproduce.
Seven Star Fish
This is a kind of fish that looks very much like a loach, but it has spots like a scale star on its body, so it is also called scale star fish, starlight fish, etc. In fact, its scientific name is Moonfish, which is a small fish of the genus Vineaceae family.
Seven-star fish likes to live in slow mountain streams, and also likes to live in caves on embankments or ridges. Although this fish is small, it is a ferocious fish, mainly feeding on small fish, shrimps and some aquatic insects.
And senior foodies must be very clear that generally carnivorous fish have good meat quality, and the same is true for Seven Star Fish. Its meat is very delicious, has high nutritional value and has medicinal value.
This fish was not taken seriously in the early years, and many people even disliked it. But now it is hard to see wild things, and many people probably don’t recognize it and cannot call its name.
has been raised and can be sold for fifty or sixty yuan per catty on the market. If it is wild, it is even hard to buy it for nearly 100 yuan per catty.
Stream grouper
Stream grouper is also called mountain stream grouper. It is a freshwater fish and has nothing to do with the famous grouper .
The scientific name of this fish is light-lipped fish . It is also a small fish with a flat body and its biggest feature is that it has several "black bars" on its body, just like a natural "birth mark", which can distinguish itself from other fish very well.
, as the name suggests, is that it likes to be found in some mountain streams, and it has high requirements for water quality, only in living water that is not polluted. Once it enters the pond, it will die soon.
Stream grouper is not only good for water quality, but also has no fishy smell, and the taste is very good. At present, there are not many wild creek groupers, but the demand is very high, so some people specially cultivate them, citing mountain spring water, and then simulate the wild environment to breed them. It is precisely because of the high cost of breeding that it is also cheap.
Creek grouper is currently priced at more than 50 yuan, and the retail price on the market can be sold for 80 yuan per catty. Some scenic spots regard it as a specialty, and it costs two or three hundred yuan per kilogram after drying it, and it is very popular.
Conclusion
In recent years, due to changes in the rural environment, especially the large-scale use of pesticides and fertilizers, many fish have been reduced and even difficult to see. Especially electric fish and medicinal fish are extremely harmful to them.
is rare, and many people no longer recognize these fish. They have become a childhood memory for many people. When they see each other again, they may not even be able to call their names.
