CATDOLL : CATDOLL: A fisherman in Zhoushan caught 2.6 kilograms of wild yellow croaker and sold it for 22,000 yuan. Why is wild yellow croaker so expensive?

The main reason is that things are valuable because they are rare. Wild yellow croaker is very rare now and is rich in nutrients, so this wild yellow croaker can be sold at such a high price. This wild yellow croaker was caught by a fishing boat in Zhoushan near Yang'an Reef. It was once reported that a fisherman in Shandong once caught a wild yellow croaker weighing 97 kilograms, which was bought by a rich man at a sky-high price of 4.8 million.

1. Wild yellow croaker is delicious and nutritious

Wild yellow croaker is the first of the four major seafoods in my country. In ancient times, literati and poets loved to eat wild yellow croaker very much, and they had a very high opinion of the taste of wild yellow croaker. In addition to its delicious taste, wild yellow croaker is also very nutritious. According to research, wild yellow croaker is rich in protein, calcium, iron and other trace elements. Eating wild yellow croaker can enhance the body's immunity and effectively prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The maw of wild yellow croaker can be made into fish maw, and the liver can be made into cod liver oil, both of which are very nutritious.

2. Wild yellow croaker is now very rare

Nowadays, any news that someone has caught wild yellow croaker will definitely cause a sensation, and the price of wild yellow croaker has reached a sky-high price, mainly because wild yellow croaker is now too rare.

Due to overfishing and changes in the ecological environment, wild yellow croaker is now almost extinct. The last report of wild yellow croaker being caught was in 2018. For three whole years, no fisherman has caught wild yellow croaker, which is enough to show how rare this fish is. Moreover, the wild yellow croaker that is caught now is directly bought by the local tycoons or hotels, and ordinary people like us cannot enjoy it at all.

3. Artificially farmed large yellow croaker on the market

Yellow croaker is delicious and nutritious, but the number of wild yellow croakers is scarce, so people have come up with the method of artificially breeding yellow croakers. Now the yellow croakers on the market are basically artificially bred. The editor can teach you a few tips when choosing yellow croakers.

1. The mouth of yellow croaker is round. The mouth of fresh yellow croaker is very clean. When you open it, you can see there is no foreign matter inside.

2. The meat of fresh yellow croaker is very elastic. After being squeezed by hand, the squeezed part can quickly bounce back and restore its original color. The stale yellow croaker will not change after being squeezed, and the meat feels dead and inelastic.

3. The eyes of fresh yellow croaker are prominent, and the black and white are distinct. The eyes of stale yellow croaker seem to be falling out, and the color is darker.

4. The scales of fresh yellow croaker are tightly attached to the body of the yellow croaker and are not easy to peel off. They feel very compact, while the scales of stale yellow croaker are very loose and not compact.

Because this fish tastes great and has few bones, it is very rare on the market, and because it is relatively large in size, it is particularly expensive.

Because it is rare, wild yellow croaker is rich in nutrition, very fresh and sweet, the market demand is large but the quantity is small, so the price will be higher.

This kind of fish has plump meat and high nutritional value. The current production is relatively small and the environmental requirements are relatively high, so the selling price is high.

The main reason is that this type of fish is relatively rare, and with such a large size, it is also relatively difficult to catch, so the price is also more expensive.
