2 Timely fishing season

There are fish every year. Where did the fish come from? It's easy to do in the south. There are rivers, lakes and oceans in the south. But in the north, especially in inland provinces, how can there be fish to eat every year?

Before the founding of the people's Republic of China, fish every year? More is people's good wishes. However, every year after the founding of New China, people have the same hope. In this way, the government's eyes fell on the annual floods in the East China Sea.

First of all, it makes sense to bring fish every year. The fishing season usually begins with light snow in 24 solar terms and lasts for about 3 months. Gregorian calendar from 1 1 to the following year 1, that is, before the Lunar New Year, there is still time to transport hairtail. In the flood season, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Fujian and other provinces have a large number of hairtail transported northward, which can account for more than half of the total output. Beijing, Tianjin, Liaoning and other places have benefited more.

Second, the yield of fish season is high. During the flood season, cold air goes south, and there is often strong wind on the sea. In order to keep out the cold, hairtail often gathers in the offshore, where it is very dense, and even tens of thousands of kilograms can be caught in one net. The output during the whole flood season can be maintained at14-150,000 tons. With the development of fishing technology and suitable climatic conditions, the output of 200,000 tons is normal. For example, 1956, Zhoushan Islands is seven or eight days ahead of schedule, and fishermen plan to increase production by 600,000 tons.

Accurate time and high yield. Isn't the annual hairtail fishing season the fish season?

Fish suitable for northerners

Braids are popular in the north for two main reasons. First, there is a shortage of fish in the north. Due to the geographical conditions in the north, the fish species are not rich and the output is small. There has always been a great demand for fish in the north. What's more, raw materials were in short supply at that time, and all kinds of meat were in short supply, not to mention rare hairtail?

Secondly, hairtail really suits the spleen and stomach of northerners. As the saying goes, a bite of fresh fish means that the fish tastes delicious, but it can't last. If you put a little, the taste will be much worse, and the taste of hairtail will not be destroyed after freezing. Northerners eat less fish, especially more thorns, and they are unhappy to eat. Hairtail, as a kind of marine fish, is just suitable for northerners' tastes with less thorns and fragrant meat.

Therefore, although the living conditions have been greatly improved, the northern custom of eating hairtail in the New Year has been well preserved.
