Deep sea seems to be far away from us, but now in fresh food markets and supermarkets, you can see a lot of " deep sea fish ". If you see the product label of "Deep Sea XX Fish", what will you think of? precious? mystery? Or weird?
In fact, many "deep sea fish" on the market have never been to the deep sea at all!
Which ones are considered deep-sea fish? How do they taste?
Real and fake deep-sea fish
On the market, big yellow croaker , small yellow croaker , mackerel ( blue dot mackerel ) and so on will be labeled as "deep-sea fish". In fact, their habitat depth is less than 100 meters , let alone salmon ( Atlantic salmon ) raised in seawater cages.
To be honest, mackerel dumplings is really fragrant
However, hairtails that "dead when it comes out of the water" and squid-shaped squid-fish... These should be deep-sea fish, right?
In fact, "deep sea fish" is a concept that is difficult to accurately define. Because the depth of a fish usually lives is not static.
The most common " cod " in the domestic market at present - North Pacific yellow-line pollock, with a habitat depth of up to 400 meters; Atlantic flounder , a common picture of European and American markets (above, commonly known as halibut), can run to the seabed nearly 1,000 meters deep when laying eggs. Therefore, both of these are typical edible deep-sea fish. Image source: ifish.ne

First of all, Many fish "migrate vertically" between the deep sea and the sea every day. For example, most species of hairtail fish that we are familiar with stay at the bottom of the deep water during the day and float to the sea to prey at night. On the coast of East my country Sea, you can even see a large number of hairtail fish coming to the shore with the tide in late spring and early summer.

Did you smell the fragrance?
The annual reproductive migration of to will also allow the same fish to change the inhabit depth. For example, yellow horn in the East my country Sea can be distributed to a depth of 560 meters, which is enough to be a "typical deep-sea fish". But every winter and spring when cold water balls come, they will breed in the shallow seas near the shore. How shallow is
?
The survey of Japanese scholars is 25 meters deep. At the beginning of this year, I saw that in Taizhou, Zhejiang, a small boat that caught sea surface shrimps and rarely had a working depth of more than 20 meters, even caught many huge yellow hornets!
is outrageous!

In addition, the terrain of seabed will also affect the fish's habitat depth . An important species of fish for boat fishing in the East China Sea - golden pineapple (usually referred to as the Xu's rhododon), can only be caught on a continental slope 100 to 200 meters deep or even deeper. But in Japan, where the sea is deep, Xu's turtle seeds appear in large numbers on the nearshore 30 to 40 meters deep. In the Izu Peninsula, Japan, when cold water balls come in winter and spring, you can even pick up the live giant fish .
Common deep-sea fish in the East my country Sea
"pure deep-sea fish" in seafood markets and supermarkets is not common, but if the standards are relaxed, such as using the commonly used standard in the fishing industry - "often inhabited or captured from twilight areas around 200 meters or below" , there are still many candidates. There are many common deep-sea fish in the main fishery in the East my country Sea.
mainly produces in the East China Sea. The inhabiting depth is generally 100~400 meters, and the depth can reach more than 600 meters. The listed individuals are generally around 20 cm, and are not big in size, but they are fierce predatory fish. The body has a high oil content, which brings excellent flavor but also makes the meat extremely prone to rot. With the gradual popularity of ultra-low temperature freezing in recent years, it has gradually become popular in the market.
