The deeper the water, the more difficult the fish is to catch, and the natural price is, the more expensive it is.

It is worth mentioning that black cod is not a fish from the family Cod family, but a fish from the family Sarcoidae and the genus Naked Covered Fish.

The increase in cod's popularity is largely thanks to the naked fish that did not even enter the gate of the cod.

To a certain extent, this naked fish that is not cod at all has become the true image of cod in people's minds in recent decades.

This image is not only felt by ordinary consumers, but even fishermen, high-end marine restaurants, and even marine biology scholars have agreed to this misunderstanding.

Naked fish are mainly distributed in Alaska and the West Coast region of the United States.

The sea water here is pure, far away from pollution, deep and cold. The black cod produced here has high oil content and is very tender and smooth. It is described by gourmets as cream in the fish. It is said that you can even not add oil when cooking. There is also a nickname for cream fish abroad, which shows its tenderness and smoothness and richness of fish oil.

At present, all fish fishing in Alaska is strictly managed, or is not allowed to be caught.

Therefore, the black cod circulating on the market basically comes from the west coast of North America, and the number is very rare.

In the seafood market in my country, there are two types of silver cod.

One is black cod, which is generally called directly in the industry, and this fish is cod.

Another type is canine toothfish, which is generally silver cod in the market.

Li Xuan used to be a little confused or even confused about the names of these two fish. After carefully understanding them, he finally figured it out. It turned out that it was not that he couldn't understand, but that the names of these two fish were both wrong.

There are so many people who mistakenly think that these two types of fish are called this name.

In terms of procurement costs, toothfish and black cod are both fish species with relatively high economic value.

From a commercial perspective, my country has been calling toothfish silver cod for more than 20 years.

In the market, if there is no special explanation, silver cod refers to canine teeth.

One of these two types of fish is on the northernmost side of the earth and the other is on the southernmost side.

Black cod is mainly distributed in the Arctic Ocean and the North Pacific Ocean. It is said that it is rich in nutrition and sweet meaty silver cod.

in the country, at the beginning, only the chefs in the sea restaurants were used to calling black cod silver cod.

But when this habit spread, experts gradually got used to calling black cod silver cod.

It’s like a person has his own name, but others are used to calling him nickname. After a long time, the reputation of this nickname will be even greater than the real name.

In fact, in the 2000s, the market management party clarified the naming specifications of cod and clearly pointed out that merchants should regulate the commercial names of canine-tooth Antarctic fish and scale-tooth Antarctic fish, which are white cod to distinguish between real cod and black cod.

But why do we need to make clear provisions?

Isn’t it just because someone shouts, that’s what you need to do?

In the seafood market, black cod is much more noble than silver cod.

Black cod is a high-end fish, recognized as the best taste and the most expensive price. A black cod as big as an arm can cost up to 300 yuan per pound.

Among the so-called silver cod on the market, black cod accounts for less than 20%.

If you want this kind of black cod, you have to go to a special supplier to get the goods.

Of course, the cod, called silver cod, is also not cheap.

Silver cod is larger than black cod, growing more than one meter and weighing more than twenty pounds.
