As the saying goes, 'Relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to eat water'. Jiamusi has three major river systems in Heilongjiang, Songhua River and Wusuli River, which are rich in salmon, sturgeon and huso, three flowers and five Luo and other famous specialty fish. Next, let's take a look at the "Three Rivers Famous Fish" in Jiamusi.
Salmon
The salmon, also known as salmon or salmon, is a genus of fish in the Pacific Salmon genus (Salmon genus) of the Salmonidae family. It is a cold water anadromous migratory fish with a life cycle of four to five years. It migrates to the Fuyuan River section in mid to late September every year to lay eggs. The Heilongjiang and Wusuli rivers in Fuyuan and Tongjiang, Jiamusi City, are rich in salmon and are known as the "hometown of Chinese salmon".
Salmon has high economic value, and its meat is very delicious. Common methods include fragrant fried salmon, braised salmon, and so on.
Sturgeon sturgeon
The sturgeon sturgeon is an ancient group of cartilaginous fish in Heilongjiang, with a breeding history of 200 million years from the Jurassic period to the present. It is a Class II protected animal of endangered species in the world and is known as the "living fossil in water". The sturgeon sturgeon, as a famous product in Heilongjiang, can weigh hundreds to thousands of pounds and is also known as the "king of freshwater fish".
This fish has a delicious taste, crispy and fragrant bones, with almost no waste throughout the body. The stomach, lips, bones, swim bladder, and seeds are all top-notch ingredients for cooking famous dishes. Common practices include braised sturgeon sturgeon, steamed sturgeon, steamed sturgeon sturgeon with soy sauce, sturgeon sturgeon fish soup, etc.
Three Flowers
Aohua, also known as Mandarin fish, is the first of the three flowers and five luo, and one of the four famous freshwater fish in China. The water quality of Sanjiang River is clear and sweet, and the water is cold and cool, so the mandarin fish produced is fine and white in texture, especially fresh and tender. Although winter in Heilongjiang Province is long and fish grow slowly, the larger ones in Heilongjiang can grow up to ten pounds.
Aohua fish bones have less meat and more flesh in the shape of garlic cloves, making them a great choice among fish. Heilongjiang people make steamed Aohua their first choice, but there are also innovations. Combining the northern specialty of pine nuts with mandarin fish, we create a unique "pine seed turtle flower" with mountain delicacies and river delicacies, which is very unique to Heilongjiang.

This fish is not big, ranging from seven or eight taels in size to one or two pounds in size. Don't look at its size, bream flowers are the fattest. It tastes fat but not greasy.
