longli fish

the dazu district market supervision and administration bureau received a report that the crispy longli fish in the 16-person set meal sold by a chongqing cultural tourism industry company, ramada plaza hotel, on dianping and meituan was inconsistent with the ingredients actually sold in the store. after investigation, it was found that in order to control costs, the hotel changed the raw materials of the dish "crispy longli fish" from "longli fish" to "frozen basa fish fillet", and the above dish was sold online and offline for a total of 7 orders. in response, the dazu district market supervision and administration bureau ordered the party to stop the illegal behavior in accordance with the law and imposed a fine of rmb 6,000.

whether it is pickled fish, boiled fish or grilled fish, if the fish meat served on the table is boneless and tender, it is most likely made from basa fish. why do restaurants particularly like to use basa fish meat in their dishes? the reporter walked into the supermarket and found that compared with cheap fish such as grass carp, the price of basa fish is more "affordable", and it is commonly sold at 9.9 yuan per bag.

can we eat such cheap basa fish with confidence? in fact, basa fish itself is also a high-quality and cost-effective source of protein. the reason why it is cheap is that basa fish is an omnivorous fish, and its requirements for feed and living environment are not very high. they grow very fast, and it only takes a few months for them to grow from fry to big fish that can be out of the fish pond. the cost of raising high-quality basa fish is low.

basa fish is often farmed in vietnam, thailand and other regions, and shipped to domestic aquatic markets, where it is usually processed into fish fillets.

in order to preserve freshness and prevent the fish meat from losing water after long-term storage and transportation, basa fish fillets are often soaked in a food water-retaining agent containing phosphate and then wrapped in a thick layer of ice.

however, some unscrupulous merchants in the market sell basa fish under the name of freshwater dragon fish.

because the longli fish is flat, after peeling the skin and removing the main spines, only a thin and flat fish fillet is left. this gives basa fish an opportunity to take advantage of the popularity. some merchants even directly mark the price of longli fish and sell basa fish, while the price of longli fish is more than twice that of basa fish.

how to avoid buying basa fish at the price of longli fish?

chongqing municipal market supervision bureau advises: if it is too cheap, it is definitely not real longli fish; if it is labeled as freshwater longli fish, it is basa fish; if the origin is marked as vietnam or thailand, it is most likely basa fish; if it is labeled as cabasa or basa on the package, it is basa fish. in addition, do not buy basa fish that is too cheap, as the ice coating may be thick; do not buy fish fillets that are obviously shrunk or dehydrated; do not buy fish that are close to expiration.
