What is "unforgettable"?
It can be said to be one of the most expensive edible fish in the world. You may have seen this fish on TV or the Internet, and even know that it is expensive, but did you know that there are also breeding fish in Hong Kong?
Locals cannot forget the high quality and good taste, and the cultivation of fish farms that have participated in the "Quality Fish Farms Program" of the Fisheries and Conservation Department can definitely reverse everyone's inherent impression of freshwater fish.
"Le Sheng Yuan" is located in the corner of Tin Shui Wai, and its principal is Huang Baowen (Gary). The descendant of this water man is born with great experience in fish farming.
When you walk into the fish farm, you will see a large circular pool under the tent, where different types of food fish are kept. The most noticeable one is of course the unforgettable fish pond.
"You can't forget the artificial farming. There are only three places in the world. Two are found in Malaysia, and the rest is here." This is the national fish of Malaysia. Gary said that the selling price is close to 3,000 Hong Kong dollars per kilogram, which is almost the most valuable in the world. One of the most expensive edible fish, rich in fat, sweet in meat, and even fish scales has a unique taste, which is very popular among diners around the world.
Naturally, we can't forget living in turbulent flow. How can we reproduce this environment in Hong Kong?
After each fish is transported by air to Hong Kong, it will be stocked in the fish pond for one week, and then create a water current of up to 3 kilometers in the fish pond, so that each fish can swim continuously, keep the fish body strong, and eat solid and full meat.
The environment, fry, water quality, and feed of the fish farm are monitored by the Fisheries and Conservation Department to ensure that the public can eat at ease.
"Unforgettable, we also have flower-growing eels. They are all expensive freshwater fish, and they specialize in the banquet fish market. Tilapia is a cheap fish in the eyes of others, but everyone likes the tilapia we raise. It also sells more expensively.” Gary said that there are also gem fish, ding mandarin fish, etc., each of which sells very well.
"There is a great market demand for high-quality food fish because the food safety culture is growing, not only in Hong Kong, but also in global demand." Gary said that the "Quality Fish Farm Project" has also played a big role in agriculture and fisheries.
The blue larval logo that you see on different fish products means that it meets the standards of the "Quality Fish Farm Program", namely "food safety", "local production" and "sustainability"; no malachite green, Excessive drug residues, heavy metals and bacteria, and local production can be traced to the source through a unique QR code. At the same time, because of local farming, transportation carbon emissions can be reduced, and the sustainable development of local fisheries can be achieved.
From the fish farm environment to the fish fry, water quality, feed, medicine and other aspects, the government will conduct comprehensive supervision and provide technical assistance. It is more confident for the public to choose high-quality fish; for the industry, it can also save a lot of self-quality The time and expenditure for testing and many technical problems are easier to solve with the support of government departments.
Gary hopes that the fishing industry will continue to develop, not only freshwater fish, but he will also try to breed other different aquatic products. He also hopes to help revitalize Hong Kong's fisheries through the "Quality Fish Farm Project".
The "Quality Fish Farm Project" is monitored and certified by the government to give consumers more confidence in choosing quality fish.
