Is the dragon fish the same as the Basha fish? What's the difference between the two? Which one is better? How much is the real dragon fish per jin?

In recent years, Basha fish has become very popular in China, and it is widely loved by diners for its fresh and delicate meat, rich nutrition, easy to cook and no intermuscular spines. Speaking of Basha fish, we have to mention another kind of famous fish-dragon fish, that is, commonly known as halibut. So, is the dragon fish the same as the Basha fish? What's the difference between the two? Which one is better? How much is the real dragon fish per jin?

From the point of view of appearance, after peeling and bony processing, the appearance and meat color of Basha and Longli fish are very similar, which is easy to be confused, and it will also produce the illusion that Basha fish is Longli fish. In addition, because the market price difference between Basha fish and Longli fish is nearly 10 times, and even some illegal businesses hang the name of Longli fish, sell Basha fish in fact, in order to get the price difference, consumers need to pay special attention to screening when choosing and buying.

Let's identify and distinguish between these two kinds of fish. There is the simplest difference. Longli fish are marine fish and Basha fish are freshwater fish.

Longli fish is a kind of warm coastal large demersal fish, which lives in the coastal waters of China all the year round. Longli fish has delicious taste, smooth taste, high meat yield, less thorns, more meat, rich nutrition, fish cooked for a long time but not old, almost without any fishy smell and peculiar smell, it has always been a good product for the majority of consumers along the coast of China. Due to the small amount of natural resources, large-scale commercial farming still belongs to the emerging stage, and the market price is expensive at present.

The Basha fish is a freshwater fish, belongs to the catfish, belongs to the awn catfish of the genus Silurus, that is, a kind of catfish. It is a unique high-quality economic fish in the Mekong River Basin, and it is an important farmed fish species in Vietnam and other Asian countries. Vietnam transliterates as "CABaSa", meaning "three fatty fish", because the fish accumulates three larger oils in the abdominal cavity during its growth, accounting for about 58 per cent of its body weight. The price of Basha fish is cheaper.

Longli fish and Basha fish are two different kinds of fish. what they have in common is that they are white and tender, no intermuscular spines, easy to process, etc., and the taste is very similar. Therefore, ordinary consumers are easy to be confused. But there is a big difference between the two prices. Longli fish are produced along the coast of China, but the output is small and the price is expensive. The current market price is about 200-350 yuan / kg. Most of the basha fish are imported from Vietnam and the production of artificial culture is high. at present, the price of frozen fish fillet in the Chinese market is about 20-50 yuan / kg. Many sellers will deliberately emphasize that the reason why the price of their products is high is that they sell longli fish rather than Basha fish.

Obviously are two kinds of fish, but often appear in the name of dragon fish, buy the body of Basha fish phenomenon, consumers said very confused. Can the way to distinguish between the two only depend on the price? In fact, another way is to look at the body of the fish. After making fish fillet, the fish is obviously very thick, while the dragon fish is relatively thin. In fact, they are all good fish, but you have to understand what you eat.
