A large yellow croaker from Ningde has been exported to more than 60 countries. What is going on?

The Ningde yellow croaker has "gone viral" in more than 60 countries because it got on fire in the short film "Save Face", and then the video was leaked abroad!

In fact, yellow croaker was not worth much in the 1970s. You could buy one for 50 cents. It was a common dish, braised with soy sauce or with pickled mustard greens and silver sauce. It tasted good and you could eat an extra bowl of rice. It was not as good as the ordinary steamed bream or mandarin fish from Taihu Lake; the high-end steamed saury or hilsa from the Yangtze River.

Fishermen from Guangdong and Fujian invented a method of catching large yellow croaker by knocking on bamboo poles, which is called "knocking on the net".

This is a fishing method that uses acoustic principles. In the 1970s, it was introduced to Zhejiang, and Zhoushan once dispatched more than 2,000 motorboats to carry out large-scale roundups. While setting a record for the highest catch of yellow croaker in Chinese history, it also dealt a devastating blow to the population resources of yellow croaker.

As wild yellow croakers become less common, their prices are getting higher and higher. A wild yellow croaker weighing more than 1 kilogram from the East China Sea costs more than 1,000 yuan. Now a wild yellow croaker weighing more than 5 kilograms costs more than 100,000 yuan, more expensive than a car. The people of Wenzhou are the most enthusiastic about yellow croakers. They think it is a high-end dish that symbolizes wealth and good fortune. Yellow croakers are a must-have during festivals, especially wedding banquets.

The reason why yellow croaker costs more than ten yuan is due to technological advancement.

30 years ago, Ningde, Fujian Province, made a breakthrough in the offshore aquaculture technology of yellow croaker; 10 years ago, Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province, made a breakthrough in the deep-sea aquaculture technology of yellow croaker. The price of offshore aquaculture is 10-20 yuan per catty, deep-sea aquaculture is 100-200 yuan per catty, and pure wild aquaculture is 1,000-2,000 yuan. - An order of magnitude difference.

When it comes to deep-sea farming of large yellow croaker, today's farming technology is mature and generally large fences are used for confinement.

The height of the fence is from the sea surface to the bottom of the sea. This solves the problem of low water temperature in winter, because yellow croaker cannot survive in water temperatures below eight degrees. The depth of the fence for breeding yellow croaker is greater than 10 meters, which effectively solves the problem of low temperature in winter. It also solves the problem of the range of activity space for yellow croaker. A large activity space can greatly improve the quality of yellow croaker meat.

At first, it was all farmed in small cages near the coast, and the quality of the fish and the quality of the fish meat were not very good. Now it is farmed in large cages in the deep sea. The bottom of the fence is made of copper alloy material, which effectively prevents plankton from invading the cages and damaging the large yellow croaker, and also saves labor costs. Yes, it can effectively resist a typhoon of level 12. With the current breeding technology, the fish are thin and firm, and can grow high-quality garlic meat, which tastes very delicious. One fish can be sold for 20 to 30 yuan, and the income is very considerable!

This yellow croaker is a male. Male yellow croaker is much more expensive than female one, and it is considered a rare species in the local area, so it is welcomed by so many countries.

The reason for its popularity was mentioned by actor Huang Bo in a song titled "Shen Jian". The meat of yellow croaker is very tender. The dish of Ningde large yellow croaker once won the special gold medal at a food and wine tasting event.

This is mainly because this kind of fish has a very high nutritional value, its meat is very delicious, and its yield is relatively high.

Ningde yellow croaker is a fish unique to my country, 99% of the world's production comes from my country. It is golden in color, has high nutritional value and health-preserving effects, and has many cooking methods.
