Yellowtail (scientific name: Seriola quinqueradiata), a kind of marine fish, is mainly distributed in the Sea of Japan and the waters south of Taiwan. It is a migratory carnivorous fish. In our country, it is also known as green sweet fish, pinyin fish, and oil sweet fish, and in Guangdong it is called sweet potato. The adult yellowtail can grow up to 1.5 meters in length and weigh 40 kilograms; but the general body length is 1 meter and weighs about 8 kilograms.
The most famous producing area for yellowtail in Japan is the "Toyama Bay" that looks like the Sea of Japan. In the process of growing from juvenile to adult, each time it grows up, it changes its name. Therefore, it has more than 100 names in Japan. Only when the yellowtail grows to more than 80cm, can it be called "Born Fish". The meaning of "being out of the world" in Japanese is similar to the Chinese "Feihuang Tengda". Because of its delicious taste and a very auspicious name, it is loved by the Japanese. Among the lucky fish eaten on New Year's Eve in Japan, yellowtail is as famous as salmon. Especially in the Kansai region, yellowtail is an indispensable fish in the first lunar month.
As a migratory fish, the adult yellowtail will spawn southward after February every year. The yellowtail before spawning is rich in fat and the most plump. The Japanese call the yellowtail in this season "Han ブリ (寒鰤) )”; Therefore, the dishes prepared are also the most delicious. (The fat content of yellowtail after spawning will be significantly reduced). Yellowtail is also used in various ways in Japan, such as sashimi, sushi, miso pickles, grilled and boiled, and the most famous dish is "white radish yellowtail".
Yellowtail is not only delicious, but also rich in nutrients. Yellowtail is known as the "brain-buying supernatural product". Because it contains highly unsaturated fatty acids that are essential for human brain nutrition: "DHA" (ie docosahexaenoic acid). In addition to preventing the deposition of cholesterol on the blood vessel wall, preventing or reducing the occurrence of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease, more importantly, DHA has an extremely important effect on brain cells, as well as the growth and development of brain nerve conduction and synapses. It is also extremely advantageous. Experiments have shown that if DHA intake is sufficient, the DHA value in the human brain can be increased, which can activate brain nerve cells, improve brain function, and improve judgment ability. Therefore, it is also an essential nutrient for young people to enhance their intelligence, strengthen their memory, and improve their learning ability. Scientists have shown that DHA is only found in fish and a few shellfish. Other foods such as soybeans, butter, vegetable oil, lard, vegetables and fruits almost do not contain DHA. Therefore, from the perspective of nutrition and brain health, if people want to get enough DHA, the most convenient and effective ideal way is to eat more yellowtail.
Having said that, let's take a look at how it works! "
