Many places welcome the season of fresh, sweet, and tender fish. Jiangxian is back on the table in the scorching summer | Guangxi | Jiangxian
CCTV News: With the end of the four month fishing ban, in Guangdong and Guangxi these days, river fresh food has become a delicacy for people to spend the scorching summer.
At dawn, outside the North River embankment of Sanshui in Foshan, fishing boats have already set off on the tens of kilometers long waterway, casting down nets to welcome the bountiful harvest of fishing.
Shrimp, loach, yellow bone fish, and other seasonal delicacies in Sanshui, which is rich in river freshness, are somewhat ordinary, except for a kind of smooth fish with a face and nose facing upwards that attracts the attention of locals. Heshun fish, also known as "upturned nose", is rare due to its small quantity. It does not have many thin bones and has a lot of meat on its belly, presenting a unique tender pink color. A 2-pound Heshun fish can be served by steaming it in salt water for 5 minutes, making it one of the best-selling river delicacies in the local area.
The reporter saw at a market in Nanning, Guangxi that merchants wholesale river fresh produce were unloading their catch from trucks. These catches include over a dozen species such as red eye, yellow bone fish, and wasp fish, attracting many citizens to choose from.
Wholesalers told reporters that after the fishing ban ends, they usually go to docks and ports to collect fish, and fresh catch can be transported to the market in Nanning in the afternoon. After a four month fishing ban, fish resources have sufficient time to reproduce and grow, and various types of fish resources in rivers have become more abundant.
The reporter learned that this year there is a wide variety of river fresh food, and the market price is also relatively affordable. With a large number of river fresh fish being released, prices are expected to become more affordable in the future.
