Why is there so much fat in steamed golden pomfret even without oil?

Steamed golden pomfret has no oil but has a lot of fat particles because the pomfret sold in the market now is divided into "golden pomfret" and "silver pomfret". The more intuitive distinction is: "golden pomfret" has a golden appearance and hard spines on its dorsal fin, and is larger in size and often weighs more than 1 jin, while "silver pomfret" has a silvery-white appearance and no hard spines on its dorsal fin, and is generally less than 1 jin. In some areas, "silver pomfret" is also called "flat fish" or "mirror fish", named because of its diamond-shaped body, relatively flat, and shiny color like a silver mirror. In terms of price, "golden pomfret" has a high yield from artificial breeding, so the price is relatively affordable, while "silver pomfret" relies on wild sea fishing, and its yield is far less than that of golden pomfret, so the price has always been higher.
