This Fish Crawled Onto the Mudflats After Coming from the Sea and Encountered Guangdong People's Table
There is a fish living in tidal flats by the sea, although it is a fish, it can survive out of the water.
It basks in the sun on the tidal flats, plays and forages on the tidal flats. It is 'tidal flat fish'
They jump and crawl on tidal flats, using their two strong abdominal fins to move forward and backward.
Barracudas simultaneously are the number one sand beach jumping and high jumping athlete in the fish world.
Besides tidal flat fish, there are only a few fish species that can live on land, let alone forage by the shore.
At the same time, they are commonly called 'hopping fish'
Tidal flat fish are distributed in coastal sea areas of southern China's Guangdong, northern Taiwan Island, and so on.
As marine fish, they frequently go ashore to walk, live, and bask in the sun, which is a miracle.
So why can tidal flat fish survive on the shore?
It is mainly due to their body structure, barracudas have a water-storing gill chamber in their head.
Before leaving the water, they fill the gill chamber with water for breathing on land.
Their gill surface has also evolved a thin membrane to slow down the loss of water.
In addition to barracudas, barracudas can also breathe with their skin, as long as the environment is not too dry, they will not be hypoxic.
This is also the reason why tidal flat fish are always near the shore.
The eyes of barracudas are particularly special, their eyes are located on the top of their head, with a wide field of vision to observe the sky and land dangers.
Their bodies are gray-brown, the same color as the tidal flats, which makes it easier to hide and prevent predation.
Barracudas are widely distributed in the coastal areas of Guangdong, but they cannot escape the predation of Guangdong people.
No matter how good barracudas are at jumping, no matter how well-hidden their camouflage is, as soon as they come to the shore, they are only one step away from the table.
Because barracudas jump onto the tidal flats, they jump onto the table.
Lu Xun wrote in his famous essay 'Homesickness' about rural man 'catching 'sea jumping fish'', the black and gloomy, tide-dependent barracuda, unremarkable in appearance, is a delicious seafood.
Tidal flat fish is the most suitable food for men, it contains a variety of vitamins and minerals that directly act on male kidneys, can improve male kidney function. In addition, tidal flat fish is delicious, so it is loved by people.
Guangdong is closer to the sea, so 'being near the water gives you the first sight of the moon'
The Guangdong people have a light taste, while barracudas are small in size and have little meat, it is perfect for stewing or boiling, which is sweet and delicious.
Or add salt, vinegar and other seasonings to make dried fish that can be preserved for nearly a month in summer.
There are many ways to eat barracudas, whether it is pan-fried, stewed, or deep-fried, all are good choices.
There are also clips in 'China's Top Bites' that are about how Guangdong people eat barracudas.
In long-term evolution, barracudas have adapted to the land environment but also closer to the table, which is dangerous.
