"F*** me! Japanese Grenadier Anchovy! So many huge Grenadier Anchovies!"
Chu Xian exclaimed, wide-eyed.
The Coilia Nasus, or the Japanese Grenadier Anchovy, was a migrating fish considered among the so-called "Four Fresh Fish of the Yangtze," along with the Puffer Fish, the Reeves Shad, and the Catfish. The grenadier anchovy was slim and thin like a silver, white knife and had many small bones but incredibly soft meat. The taste was delicious - fat but not greasy. (1)
The grenadier anchovy was normally around 18 to 25 cm long and weighed 10 to 20 grams. The price varied a lot with weight, and it was usually at least 2000 to 4000 RMB per half kilo!
In his control view, there were a dozen grenadier anchovies swimming around, and a few of them were quite big.
"Chinese sturgeons and grenadier anchovies? This place is weird, huh!" Chu Xian thought to himself as he maintained his control ability on the fish, looking around thoughtfully.
