2. Where can I buy river clams?

3. These are the 7 best kinds of “river seafood”. Not everyone has eaten them all. How many of them have you eaten?

These 7 kinds of "river seafood" are considered to be the best. Not everyone can eat them all. How many of them have you eaten?

The first one is the halibut.

Maybe many people don't know this kind of fish now, because it is so rare. Lacone fish is just another name in folklore. Some places also call it knife loach, steel loach, thorn loach, snake loach, light loach, etc. Because it looks like loach, but it has a hidden barb on its body. In the past, many people didn't like Lacone fish very much, and even regarded it as a kind of "bad luck fish". After catching it, they would crush it to death or smash it to death with stones.

But for those who know the goods, the razorfish is a kind of exquisite freshwater fish. Although it looks like a loach, it is not a loach, but a blood relative of perch. Because the knife loach belongs to the order Perciformes, family Acanthopidae, while the loach belongs to the order Cypriniformes, family Cobitidae, and genus Loach.

The meat of the mullet is very delicious and delicate, and it contains nutrients, so it has gradually been favored by food lovers in recent years. In my hometown, there is a saying that "marry a wife with a big buttocks, and eat fish with a knife loach." This is because it is delicious and has high nutritional value, especially for men.

The second type is the oxtail fish.

From its name, we can also see that this kind of fish should look like a cow's tail. In fact, it is true. The cowtail fish is slender and looks like a cow's tail at first glance. It is often called this in folk customs, which makes many people do not know its nickname. The scientific name of the cowtail fish is the Great River Mimicry, which is a kind of fish of the family Mimicryidae. It is a kind of fish that lives in large seas. This kind of fish looks a bit like the yellow croaker that Hunan likes to eat. There are no scales on the whole body, but the body is slender, especially the body color is golden yellow, which looks particularly eye-catching, so it is easy to distinguish.

The oxtail fish is a carnivorous fish species, it mainly feeds on bottom-dwelling animals. Generally, carnivorous fish species are very delicious, and the oxtail fish is also a rare top-notch delicious food. It has a delicate taste, delicious taste, and has a high dietary value. It is usually eaten in soup or stew.

The third type of crab.

Nowadays, many people love to eat hairy crabs, and they have become a choice for many people to give as gifts to relatives. However, there were no Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs in the past. People usually went to the mountains to catch some natural mountain crabs, or caught crabs in swamps and around fields. Crabs are especially numerous and are also a kind of "pest" in rice fields, so they are often caught and eaten by farmers. When it rains in the evening, you can bring a flashlight and a bucket to catch half a can in a short time.

We should not underestimate the crab skin. Although it is smaller in size and has a hard shell, it has no meat at all. However, if it is cooked, it is very delicious. In folk customs, it is called "the most delicious food in the world". There are many ways to eat crab. It can be fried directly as a side dish, or it can be pickled in wine, which is also the most classic way. After pickling, the crab skin is smooth and tender, and the meat is as delicious as cheese. It is so delicious that you can't stop eating it.

The fourth type of river mussel

It is also a more common shellfish in ponds and streams in the countryside. At the end of the year in my hometown, the water in the pond is usually added to fish, which is also called "dry pond". In this way, many clams bigger than your face will be found in the mud. It is not an exaggeration for one person to pick up hundreds of kilograms in a fishing pond. However, most people do not eat clams because they think they are too dirty. Some people think there are leeches in clams and they taste very fishy, ​​so they don't eat them.

In fact, this is also a misunderstanding of river clams. River clams have a strong requirement for water. Although they grow in the soil, they cannot survive if the water is polluted. As for the fishy smell of river clams, or the fact that they are not tasty, it is mainly due to carelessness. As long as you know how to cook it, it will be delicious and fragrant when cooked into soup, which is more delicious than many seafood.

The fifth type is natural wild turtle.

Wild turtles have been a top-grade tonic since ancient times, and are often used to make soup or stew in folk customs. For example, on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, there was a custom of stewing turtles with beef in my hometown.

In the past, the network resources in the countryside were very good. Wild turtles could be seen in many water conservancy hubs and rivers. Sometimes when working in paddy fields, wild turtles could be found in drainage ditches, and if you were lucky, you could bring them home. I remember when I was a child, my neighbor was a master at fishing for turtles, and he would often go to the water conservancy hub near his home to fish for turtles during the summer vacation.

But now wild soft-shelled turtles are already very scarce, and you have to be lucky to see them. Although there are people selling them on the market, they are basically farmed. Even the big soft-shelled turtles sold by people dressed as migrant workers in some farmers' markets are basically scams.

The sixth type of sweetfish

In some areas, it is also called Nian fish, or fairy fish, sesame oil fish, melon fish, fine-scale fish, sea fish, etc. This is a relatively small-scale fish. It usually grows in rivers and lays eggs in rivers that lead to the sea.

Why is it called sweet fish? Because this kind of fish not only has no fishy smell, but also tastes like cucumber. And the life span of this kind of fish is generally not long, generally about one year, and it dies soon after laying eggs and breeding. Therefore, the ancients called it "year fish" based on this characteristic.

The size of sweetfish is not big, usually only about 100-200 grams, after all, its life span is very short. However, it is very delicious. Whether in China or abroad, sweetfish is a high-end fish favored by the market, especially in Japan, where the influence of sweetfish is very high. Even though the price is relatively high, the demand is still very large.

I may have only eaten 3-4 kinds of fish, such as mullet, yellow eel, oxtail fish, crab, river clam and turtle. After all, these fish are rare and only available in some villages. They are also expensive, so most people cannot afford them.

I have eaten all three kinds: oysters, clams, and earthworms. In fact, they do taste better, but they are more expensive and a little difficult to catch.

Among the several types of fish, there are mullet, oxtail fish, crab, river clam, turtle, sweetfish and eel. I have only eaten the eel, which is a very good dish to go with wine.

I have eaten two kinds, such as hairy crab and braised shrimp. This one is particularly sweet and tastes spicy and sour.
