CATDOLL : CATDOLL:What kind of fish is sea bass?

1. What kind of fish is sea bass?

There are both freshwater and marine perch. Perch does not refer to a single type of fish. In fact, there are many types of fish that can be called perch. Perch, also known as flower perch and four-rib fish, is known as the "Four Famous Freshwater Fishes in China" together with Yellow River carp, mandarin fish, and Heilongjiang Xingkai Lake whitefish. Perch is produced in coastal areas of my country, mostly in the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea. Perch is one of the common economic fish and a variety for developing marine aquaculture. It is rich in nutrients, containing protein, fat, carbohydrates and other nutrients, as well as vitamin B2, niacin and trace amounts of vitamin B1, phosphorus, iron and other substances. There are many varieties of perch: largemouth black bass, river perch, Songjiang perch, sharp nose perch, bigeye lion perch, sea bass, etc. Among them, the most common four are: sea bass, which is distributed in the near sea and estuary where sea water and fresh water meet; Songjiang bass, which goes down the river to the sea to spawn when it reaches sexual maturity, and the young fish return to freshwater rivers to live; California bass, which lives in waters with low turbidity and aquatic plants; and river perch, which is a freshwater fish distributed in the temperate and frigid zones of Eurasia.

The main differences between sea bass and river bass are:

1. Survival difference: Saltwater bass mainly lives in the sea, and will die soon after leaving the sea. Therefore, most of the saltwater bass sold on the market are chilled or frozen, and they are basically not available alive. Freshwater bass mainly lives in rivers and lakes and has a stronger survival ability. Therefore, most of the freshwater bass sold on the market are live fish.

2. Appearance differences: The most obvious "sign" of sea bass is the many black dots on its back, while river bass do not have them. Those with large and thick bodies are basically sea bass; those with small and flat bodies are basically freshwater bass.

3. Difference in taste: Sea bass meat is relatively "woody" and has a strong fishy smell, while river bass meat is elastic and more palatable.

2. There are four types of sea bass. Which type of sea bass is delicious? What are the four types of sea bass?

1. Among the four types of sea bass, the most delicious one is the Songjiang four-gilled sea bass, which is produced in the Wusong River Basin. Because the meat of the Songjiang sea bass is tender, it is the most popular among the sea bass. However, since the Songjiang four-gilled sea bass is a second-level protected animal in China, it is not suitable for consumption.

2. Largemouth bass, native to the United States, is a freshwater fish. Most of the freshwater bass seen on the market are of this species. The body surface is light yellow-green and the back is dark green. Its identifying mark is a black horizontal stripe in the middle of each side of the body, extending from the head to the tail fin.

3. River perch, biologically known as perch, has natural populations only in Xinjiang in China. Because it has five black vertical stripes on each side of its body, it is commonly known as the five-black stripes.

4. Songjiang four-gilled perch is a migratory fish and a second-class wild protected animal in China.

5. Sea bass is distributed in coastal areas of China and likes to live in estuaries.

3. What does a sea bass look like? Please give me a picture

The picture of the sea bass is as follows:

The perch is also known as flower perch, Zhaihua, perch board, four-rib fish, etc. It is commonly known as perch shark, and is listed as one of the "four famous freshwater fishes in China" along with the Yellow River carp, mandarin fish and Heilongjiang Xingkai Lake whitefish. The main perch species in my country is Songjiang perch, also known as four-gilled perch and tiger-headed shirt fish.

The body of the sea bass is long and flattened, with the lower jaw longer than the upper jaw. The meat is firm and shaped like garlic cloves. The fish maw can be used to make fish maw and is often steamed and eaten.

The meat of sea bass is white, tender, with few bones and no fishy smell. It tastes extremely delicious and is rich in protein and vitamins. It can be used as medicine and is an extremely precious tonic.

Appearance characteristics

The body is long, flattened laterally, with a slightly raised back, and the dorsal and ventral surfaces are blunt and round; the head is medium-sized and slightly pointed. The body length can reach 102 cm, and the average weight is 1.5-2.5 kg. The largest individual can reach more than 15 kg.

The snout is pointed, the mouth is large, terminal, obliquely cleft, the lower jaw slightly protrudes above the upper jaw, and the upper jaw extends to below the posterior edge of the eye. The two jaws, the vomer and the operculum are all equipped with small teeth.

The posterior margin of the preoperculum is finely serrated, with three large spines on the lower margin of its posterior angle, and one spine on the posterior end of the postoperculum.

The body is covered with small ctenoid scales, and the lateral line is complete and straight. The back of the body is blue-gray, and the sides and abdomen are silvery white. There are black perch spots on the upper sides of the body and the dorsal fin, and the spots decrease with age.

There are two dorsal fins, which are connected only at the base. The first dorsal fin has 12 hard spines, and the second dorsal fin has 1 hard spine and 11-13 soft fin rays.

There are 3 hard spines in the anal fin and 7 to 9 soft rays in the anal fin. The edges of the dorsal fin, anal fin rays and caudal fin are gray-black.

Bass likes to live in brackish water at the mouth of rivers, but can also live in fresh water.

Braised sea bass recipe

1. Remove the scales, gills and internal organs of the sea bass. Clean it and make a few cuts on both sides of the fish body to make it easier for the flavor to absorb when cooking.

2. Coat the fish all over with salt, pepper and rice wine and marinate it.

3. Cut the green onion into sections, then cut into some chopped green onion, slice the garlic, cut the ginger into thin strips, and then prepare the fermented black beans, star anise, fennel and Sichuan peppercorns. I forgot to take a picture of the Sichuan peppercorns.

4. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan quickly, put the sea bass in and fry until both sides are golden brown, then take it out. (If you don't have a non-stick pan, you can wipe the bottom of the pan with ginger to prevent the fish skin from sticking to the pan).

5. Leave some oil in the pot and add the chopped onion, ginger, garlic, star anise, pepper, cumin and fermented black beans.

6. Stir-fry until fragrant.

7. Add the fried sea bass and a little rice wine.

8. Add vinegar and braised soy sauce to bring out the aroma.

9. Add boiling water, bring to a boil over high heat and then simmer over low heat.

10. When the fish is cooked, you can use a spatula to loosen it, turn it over and add salt and sugar to season.

11. When the soup thickens slightly, sprinkle with chives, then serve.

There are four types of fish that can be called perch in Chinese, namely: Sea perch, scientifically known as Japanese perch, distributed in coastal waters and at the intersection of freshwater and seawater in estuaries. Songjiang perch, also known as four-gilled perch, is a migratory fish that descends to the sea and is the most famous. Largemouth black bass, also known as California bass, is a new species introduced from the United States. River perch Najueqing, also known as red perch and Hongjue Wudaohei, is native to northern Xinjiang.

This entry focuses on the first type of sea bass (Japanese true sea bass, spotted sea bass). The other three types of sea bass will be introduced and distinguished at the end of the entry to avoid confusion.

Japanese true seabass, whose trade name is sea bass, is also known as flower seabass, seven-star seabass, and seabass. Local names include Zhaihua, seabass, four-rib fish, etc.

It is mainly distributed in the shallow coastal waters of China, North Korea and Japan; it is distributed along the coast of China. It likes to live in estuaries and can also swim upstream to the freshwater areas of rivers.

The largest production area in China is in the Zhoushan Islands in the East China Sea and the Jiaodong Peninsula in the Yellow Sea. It is one of the economic fish species and is also a species for developing marine aquaculture.
