Brief Introduction: Mandarin fish, also known as osmanthus fish, guiyu, aloyu, or spotted perch, belongs to the Perciformes order and the Cichlidae family. It has a laterally compressed and high body with a convex back. The head is large with a pointed snout. The body is covered with small round scales, with hard spines at the front. The body is yellowish-green, while the abdomen is grayish-white. It is named "fat mandarin fish" because of the line "osmanthus fish are fat in the flowing peach blossom waters" from Zhang Zhihe's poem. Mandarin fish have high fatness, tender and rich meat, a delicious and palatable taste, and are highly nutritious, containing all eight essential amino acids for humans. Due to the absence of intramuscular spines, mandarin fish are an ideal high-protein, low-fat food for brain workers.
