4. Are there river fish?

Of course there is, that is freshwater bass. These two fish are actually the same species, but they have different features.

The perch we usually talk about is divided into freshwater and seawater types. Freshwater perch is best from Songjiang, Shanghai. Songjiang perch is plump and round, no more than ten centimeters long, weighing more than one hundred grams, with a large and flat head, a wide mouth and small eyes, yellowish brown, with a few black stripes and a few black spots. Seawater perch is best from the waters of Hebei. The lower jaw of seawater perch is longer than the upper jaw, the back is blue-gray, the abdomen is white, and there are small black spots on the back.

Songjiang perch is not only delicious, but also nutritious, with a protein content of 17.82%, a fat content of 1.62%, and rich in carbohydrates, calcium, iron, phosphorus, vitamins A and B. In addition, Songjiang perch can be used as medicine to treat pregnancy edema and fetal restlessness in women.

Therefore, of course, you would choose Songjiang perch to avoid the trouble of distinguishing whether the perch is a freshwater fish or a saltwater fish. Because if you do not live by the sea and are not very familiar with perch, you may sometimes be deceived if you only rely on what the boss says.

Songjiang perch is more expensive, but compared with sea bass, it is not outrageously expensive.
