Features: Seafood and river fish are an indispensable part of daily diets and excellent ingredients for home cooking. Their tender meat is rich in nutrition. When cooked in soups, they are mellow yet not greasy, rich yet not oily, and incredibly delicious, leaving a lasting impression. A satisfying bowl is sure to linger in your memory. Aquatic products are rich in protein and various amino acids, especially lysine, which is much higher in content than in plant-based foods and is absorbed by the body later. They contain less fat, mostly unsaturated fatty acids, including a certain amount of highly unsaturated fatty acids not found in poultry, meat, and plant-based foods. These can reduce low-density cholesterol in the blood, resist blood clotting, and thus lower the risk of coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke.
