The scientific name of nine-belly fish is Dragon Head Fish, which belongs to the family dogfish, also known as dogfish, shrimp rice, tofu fish, dog spit fish, dog milk, water dragon fish, etc. Why is the dragon head fish called nine-belly fish? It's quite interesting to say. Calling the dragon head fish dog-female fish (or dog-spitting fish) is a common name among Guangdong masters. Perhaps it is because it is too difficult to call dog-female fish and dog-spitting fish in the catering industry, and the pronunciation of "dog" in Cantonese is easy to be mistaken for "nine","mother" and "spit", which is similar to the pronunciation of "belly", so the master in the kitchen called it "Jiuduyu", while Jiuduyu, Jiutuyu and other terms were further evolved on the basis of Jiuduyu. Nine-belly fish is a fish that "dies by the sight of the light". It dies on shore after fishing and leaving the sea. Now, due to the development of preservation technology and convenient transportation, nine-belly fish is mostly sold in inland cities with chilled products.
Since the preservation of Jiutu fish requires costs, there was an incident of "Formaldehyde Jiutu fish" in Guangzhou last time. Nowadays, unscrupulous merchants really dare to do anything.
The meat of Jiutu fish is tender and tender, and it looks like it has no bones. It will never get stuck in the throat. Haha, steam it with a proper amount of chopped peppers this time. It tastes very good.
