Whitebait and white shrimp in Guo River

Whitebait and white shrimp in the small stream of the Guo River, where Dinghuagou, Wugou, Zhanggou and Caigou enter the vortex, whitebait is abundant. The whitebait was called a remnant fish and a small white fish in ancient times. Du Fu's poem "A small group of white people divide their lives, a natural two-inch fish" refers to this fish. Silver fish head is flat, slender, smooth and transparent, as white as silver, and one to three inches long, belonging to natural fish. Breeding in March and April every year, spawning in estuaries with overgrown aquatic plants, after spawning, the female fish will die, with a life span of one year. Each fish can lay thousands of eggs, grow rapidly after hatching, and catch in May and September. Silver fish is tender, delicious and nutritious, with 8.2g of protein and 0.3g of fat per 100g. Because fresh fish in the water are easy to die and change, they are exposed to sunlight immediately after fishing to become dried whitebait. Whitebait can be used for cooking, stewing and soup. Since 1990, whitebait has been extinct due to water pollution in the Wohe River. It is hoped that governments at all levels will intensify pollution control in the Wohe River basin, and the blue sky and clear water will be clearer than whitebait, so that this local specialty can be restored as soon as possible. White shrimps from the Wohe River are silvery white, transparent, slightly brown-striped, with thin shell and tender meat, no sediment and no rust smell. They are more delicious than shrimps from the pond, containing 21g of protein and 0.6g of fat per 100g. Prawn is called "eagle claw shrimp". It can be eaten fresh, fried and steamed. Shrimp cooked in vinegar is a unique dish, and shrimp soup is a unique delicacy on Xiaojian table. Shrimp can be made into dried shrimp, dried shrimp, shrimp paste, etc. White shrimps from the Wohe River have a high yield and a good market, and have always been famous in Huaibei, which is a good product at banquets.
