Zhoushan baiji

Zhoushan's economy is dominated by fishing, and there are many kinds of special products related to aquatic products, such as Pseudosciaena crocea (commonly known as white fish), moth △ fish, golden hook shrimp, laver from the South China Sea, three-braced fish, three-alum jellyfish and so on. As far as the development history is concerned, it is the earliest to promote the white owl, and it is also the most famous in terms of popularity. Let's start with the white owl today. Legend has it that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when wuyue was fighting for hegemony, the sergeant stationed in the island of Wu State often ate large yellow croaker, and the fish was chopped into fish for a long time during the fishing season and kept for the off-season during the fishing season. On one occasion, the sergeant returned to Beijing and brought some fish to Fu Cha to taste. After eating it, Fu Cha repeatedly called it beautiful, so people formed the word fish beauty. Even if this legend is true, the fish fish at that time were just dried salted fish. The processing technology that really formed the white fish made it delicious and not bad for a long time, which may be after the Tang and Song Dynasties. Yuan Dade's "Changguozhou Map" and "Fishing Salt" said: "The old ones are different, and the old ones are nothing. The people who are attached to the sea are built at the age of four, and they buy more salt to attract customers. The official has never set up a bureau. In the thirty years from the Yuan Dynasty, the shippers were ordered to check the size of the ship's materials and go to the bureau to buy salt and pickle the fish. In the first year of Dade, it cost more than 800 yuan to buy ",and in the" tax class ",there is" swim bladder, weighing 80 kg at the age, starting from the thirtieth year of Zhiyuan ". These records show that the processing of aquatic products was quite developed at that time. However, it is still impossible to prove the correct age of producing white snapper. Now, the recorded age is the Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty. At that time, fish merchants from Zhenhai and other places went to Dongshajiao of Daishan to set up factories to make snapper, split fish by hand with a "knife" and marinate fish in big barrels ... The technology has been perfected. By the eve of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, there were nearly 500 aquatic products processing factories in the whole region, including 303 in Daishan. In the mid-1970s, the author once visited a "fish factory" in Changtu, saw the performance of "Knife Hand" chopping fish quickly, and then put the fish into a big wooden bucket-it should be called a pool. How can there be such a big wooden bucket in the residents' house? It's as big as the wooden bucket of Peter Ford's flying car, but it's not that deep-it's pickled, rinsed and dried, and then it becomes delicious silver carp, which was one of the main export commodities in our region before liberation. In 21 years of the Republic of China, our region exported 4,000 tons of various aquatic products, of which silver carp accounted for a large proportion. In 1950s, a small amount of silver carp was exported to Southeast Asian countries. Since 1960s, with the development of refrigeration industry and the decline of large yellow croaker resources, silver carp processing industry has actually been eliminated.
