Although it is said to be a garbage-eating fish, this fish is an edible fish in its origin, but it seems that it can only be stewed in soup.

The method is as follows:

Blank it with boiling water first, so that the hard shell on the body is easy to peel off; then remove the internal organs and dry it; fry it with oil on a high fire, and add more ginger slices ; Finally boil the soup.

According to those who have done it, the soup is white, sweet and has high nutritional value.

It is still recommended that everyone eat all the scavengers raised in the fish tank, because if they multiply, they will devour other fish eggs and lead to the extinction of other fish. There are no natural enemies in China yet, so be cautious. Not to be released, this fish has flooded in some parts of the south, causing the extinction of native native fish in the entire river.
