Sturgeon is the only living fossil in the world that lives in water and is the fish with the highest nutritional value among all fish. In my country, there has long been a saying that "the incarnation of a dragon becomes an epiphany of the sturgeon dragonfish."
The whole body of the sturgeon arowana is a treasure. Its meat is tender and delicious, and many of its organs have certain medicinal effects or beauty and health care functions.
Artificial freshwater farmed sturgeon dragonfish weighing less than 5 kilograms has better meat quality than the precious salmon; its sashimi taste fresh, tender, crisp, smooth and refreshing, which is better than lobster; its cartilage (the whole body cartilage of sturgeon dragonfish), skin, fins, liver, intestines, etc. can be cooked into at least 30 delicious dishes.
The medicinal value of sturgeon arowana is also recorded in detail in my country's Compendium of Materia Medica: "(sturgeon arowana) liver is mainly used for malignant sores; the meat supplements deficiency and exudes qi, making people healthy; boiled juice and drinking to treat blood strangulation; the nose meat is made into preserved meat to replenish deficiency and lower qi; the seed is shaped like small beans. When eaten healthily, it kills worms in the abdomen."
The main organs of sturgeon dragonfish with medicinal and health and beauty values include the following:
Sturgeon meat-Long-term consumption has significant curative effects on long-term low back pain, stomach disease and hair loss, etc., and its pharmacology needs to be studied.
Cartilages-have anti-cancer effects. According to some recent studies in Canada and the United States, sturgeon fish cartilage contains 15 to 20 times more anti-cancer factors (biologically effective active ingredients) than shark cartilage.
Sturgeon gills-has special effects in clearing heat and detoxifying.
Sturgeon liver-mainly treats scabs.
Sturgeon oil-has a special effect on treating burns.
Sturgeon nose-nourish deficiency and lower qi.
Fish bladder-Because it contains 80% bone collagen, it has significant curative effects on leucorrhea, malignant tumors, kidney deficiency, impotence, spermatorrhea, spermatorrhea, hemoptysis, hematemesis, intestinal hemorrhage and neurasthenia.
