The brown calamus (also called Yanzhan) is called "red-headed lion" by our locals. This kind of fish lives in coastal reef areas, and people who fish in the sea often catch it. This fish looks ugly, with big head and hard fins, but it has delicious meat and rich nutrition. The price is about 20-50 yuan per catty. It's late to go to the vegetable market today. The fish is relatively small but still fresh.
