Catfish is rich in nutrients. Except for catfish roe which is not suitable for eating, it is a treasure. Catfish is a valuable nutritional product. Catfish is not only rich in nutrients like other fish, but also has a tender meat and contains more protein and fat. People who are frail and undernourished have better therapeutic effects. Catfish is a good product for promoting lactation, and has the functions of nourishing yin and blood, nourishing qi, appetizing, and diuresis. It is a must-chosen food for women's postpartum diet therapy.
Boiled catfish is the signature dish of our fish farm. It’s a must-order every time we go. It’s just that it’s too spicy because the owner is from Chongqing, but later the shop was divided into normal spicy, medium spicy and extra spicy. There are three types. Every time I go, I order the medium spicy ones. I don't like chili. The normal ones are already very spicy. "
