It is also a fish. Why does no one eat goldfish?

Goldfish are not inedible, but have no edible value. Take the fish raised in my dad's aquarium. A goldfish with a lion's head less than 10 cm is nearly 100 yuan, and a tiger fish with a birthday girl is nearly 1,000 yuan. Eat it? What a waste of time! What's more, the size of half a palm is not enough for me to plug my teeth. I can buy a lot of crucian carp, hairtail and arowana with the same money, which is not as delicious as goldfish! Therefore, in people's minds, goldfish is for viewing, not for eating.

Moreover, the taste of jade is not very beautiful, with more thorns and less meat, which is very troublesome to handle, just like chicken ribs. A while ago, a stupid fish in my aquarium was greedy and choked to death, so I had a whim and fished it out and stewed it. It's really hard to shave the skin and internal organs for more than half an hour. Finally served on the table, I was completely disappointed after only one bite.

Another important reason is that, in the traditional thinking of the ancients, what is the homonym of goldfish? Jinyu? It is a kind of mascot, which means beautiful and inedible. Li Bai once wrote in a poem? The three-foot-long Yellow River carp, originally in Jin Meng, came back with all the fish before it became a dragon? The ornamental value of goldfish has been greatly affirmed, and it has also become the focus of attention of many literati, and has been given many gorgeous words to praise.

Raising fish and appreciating fish can calm down and cultivate sentiment, especially when you are upset and depressed. Seeing the fish swimming freely in the water will make you feel gratified and open-minded. Therefore, since the Tang Dynasty, keeping goldfish has become an elegant hobby of some dignitaries. This is the most beneficial value of goldfish to human beings, and it can play a more important role than stewing it in the stomach, isn't it?
