Let's talk about silver carp first (some places call it fathead fish or Baotou fish), scientific name bighead carp, one of the four famous Chinese carps. The current market price is about 8 yuan per catty. The head is twice as big as that of silver carp, so fish head dishes are mostly used, such as the famous Hunan dish: chopped pepper fish head, and a very popular dish in the north, "fish head soaked in pancakes", which are all made with silver carp heads. Silver carp is often cooked as "one fish, two ways" in many restaurants in the south. The fish head is chopped pepper, halal, and braised, and the fish tail is made into fish balls or braised as a whole, all of which are delicious. It should be said that all Chinese people like to eat fish.

Next, let's talk about silver carp. The current market price is about 3 yuan per catty, and it is also one of the four major carps . In terms of price, it is the cheapest because the taste is really bad. Silver carp tastes a bit chewy, while silver carp tastes powdery. No matter how you cook it, it won't taste like silver carp. Moreover, silver carp lives at the bottom of the pond and has a strong earthy smell. Even if it is raised in the best water quality, it tastes a bit worse. It also has more and smaller fish bones than silver carp.

The above disadvantages make the price of silver carp and bighead carp very different. However, silver carp also has advantages. It has a small head and lots of meat. It is very good for drying fish in winter. It is cheap. You can buy a big one for just over ten yuan. Rub it with salt or soak it in soy sauce, then dry it and steam it. The taste is still good. After processing, you won't taste the earthy smell.

As for which species is more profitable to breed, in terms of the current overall market, silver carp has a better market, not only because its market price is higher but also its sales volume is much higher . Bighead carp is mostly used to make fish balls, while a bighead carp head will attract many people. In addition, during the breeding process, silver carp is relatively more resistant to breeding than bighead carp. Among the four major carps, silver carp is the most sensitive to changes in oxygen in the water and will float to the surface if you are not careful.
