Oujiang catfish

Oujiang Catfish Oujiang is the hometown of Catfish. Catfish is a national first-class protected fish. At present, there are only more than 100 remaining in Oujiang River in China, mainly living in Shimentan, Zhixitan, Shawantan and Shilitan in Qingtian. The soft-shelled turtle, which looks like a giant turtle, is two or thirty times heavier than the soft-shelled turtle. Catfish have great strength, and can lift boats, carry people across the river and pull people into the water. Catfish lie under the water by day and go out for food at night. The fecundity is not strong, and the eggs are laid in the sand by the river. After giving birth, in order not to leave a trail, the female catfish jumped into the river like an arrow from the beach four or five meters away. The scene was spectacular. But once in a hundred years, it is rare to see. Catfish meat is gelatinous, which naturally turns into jelly in summer. Its edible value is above that of monkey brain and bear's paw, but it is forbidden to eat. Legend has it that buying and releasing giant salamanders can eliminate diseases and disasters, so buying and releasing giant salamanders is also a major custom in Qingtian.
