What is yellow lip fish

The golden croaker is also known as the yellow lip fish. People in Fujian and Guangdong call it golden croaker, and people in Wenzhou call it yellow croaker. It is a precious fish species in the ocean and is currently close to extinction.

According to old fishermen, before liberation, golden croaker was often caught in various places along the coast of Wenzhou and was regarded as a top-quality tonic. The fish bladder (commonly known as "isin glue") was especially precious and was said to be "as precious as gold."

The golden coin is a fish species endemic to China. It has a long, flattened body, a slender caudal peduncle, a prominent snout, round scales on the head, and silver dollar-like ctenoid scales on the body.

The dorsal side of the body is brownish gray with orange-yellow, and the ventral side is grayish white. The main production areas of the golden croaker are the coastal areas of Guangdong and the fishing grounds in southern Fujian. The upper part of the fish bladder is sticky with collagen.

What is the medicinal value of yellow lip fish

Studies have shown that the nutrients in the muscles and swim bladder of yellow croaker are high in protein and low in fat, and have high nutritional value. The muscles and swim bladder are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, with a ratio of 1.45 to 1.51 to saturated fatty acids, respectively, and contain calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, iron, copper, zinc, etc., which are essential for the human body.

It is also said that the gills and scales of the fish can treat infertility, and fish glue (dried fish maw) can nourish the liver and kidneys and stop bleeding. Modern medical research shows that fish maw can be used to treat tuberculosis, rheumatic heart disease, aplastic anemia, neurasthenia, and women's menstrual deficiency. It also has a certain effect on preventing and treating allergic hemorrhagic purpura, kidney deficiency and low back pain, and esophageal cancer.

Fish maw has the special effect of nourishing the liver and kidneys, which is better than Korean ginseng. It is very good at stopping bleeding, especially for pregnant women with postpartum hemorrhage. Therefore, in the past, if a fishing village caught yellow lip fish, the whole village would celebrate and share the fish. The fish maw would also be dried and stored for emergency use by pregnant women when they were bleeding.

The value of different parts of the yellow croaker is different, and the most valuable part is its bladder. A yellow croaker is usually sold separately into fish meat and fish belly. Usually, the fish meat is sold to high-end hotels for diners to eat, and one catty costs about 2,000 to 3,000 yuan. The bladder and fish head can be used as medicinal materials, and after being passed through layers of hands, they finally flow into medicinal material dealers and pharmacies. "The fresh glue (note: fish bladder) of the yellow croaker is far more valuable than the same weight of gold," said the aquatic expert. The yellow croaker is commonly known as the golden fish in Guangdong, and this is true.
