Culter ilishaeformis in Danjiangkou

"Good mountain produces good water, good water raises good fish. Culter culter at Danjiangkou grew up drinking farmer's spring every day." In November and may, an interview group of "food safety Jingchu trip" organized by Hubei food and Drug Administration and participated by jingchu.com and Hubei TV station came to Danjiangkou City to visit China's first living fish geographical indication protection product.

Due to the construction of Danjiangkou dam to store water, Culter ilishaeformis in Danjiangkou reservoir is a rare freshwater product with regional characteristics. Over the past decades, Culter ilishaeformis in the reservoir has gradually adapted to the water quality, and gradually has the characteristics of back muscle protrusion, back grey, abdomen silver white, egg cohesionless, etc., which is obviously different from Culter ilishaeformis in Yangtze River.

In 2008, "Danjiangkou topmouth culter" was included in the list of products protected by geographical indications by AQSIQ, becoming the first living fish in China.

At present, there are more than ten aquatic products processing enterprises with medium scale in Danjiangkou City. Among them, the processing enterprises represented by Boao aquatic products have obtained the first batch of production qualification for culter culter in Danjiangkou and registered.

"The topmouth culter fish in Danjiangkou grew up drinking from Nongfu mountain spring every day. It's a popular saying in the local area that" if you often eat topmouth culter, men will eat it, and women will eat it white. " Zhang Cheng, general manager of Danjiangkou Boao aquatic products Co., Ltd., said humorously.

Zhang Cheng: the annual output of the company is about 2600 tons, and the sales areas include Shiyan, Wuhan, Zhengzhou, Beijing and other cities. Among them, it can be seen in Metro, Zhongbai warehouse, Hujin restaurant, Prince KANGLONG wine Pavilion, etc.

Before the plant was built in 2008, the company was still a small workshop, mainly making pickled fish and other products through simple production methods such as drying and drying.

In order to further provide product quality and expand the scale of the enterprise, the company invested a lot of money to build this modern factory in 2008. As a result, the company embarked on the road of scale, and gradually became the largest aquatic product processing enterprise in Danjiangkou City.

In the company's product display area, the walls are covered with the company's honors in recent years.

Good mountain produces good water, good water breeds good fish, and the excellent water quality of the reservoir area creates high-quality aquatic products of Danjiangkou reservoir. The water quality of Danjiangkou reservoir is maintained in the first or second class of national surface water environmental quality standards all year round. The picture shows the cage culture base of Culter ilishaeformis in Songtao villa, Danjiangkou City.

According to long he, the owner of the breeding base, there are 110 fish cages here, mainly for culter culter, bighead carp, carp, etc.; among them, the total amount of Culter culter is about 50000 kg, accounting for about 40% of the total annual aquatic products of the farm, and the aquatic products of the farm are mainly supplied to Boao aquatic products company.

"In order to ensure the freshness and taste of the product, all raw fish must be put into the bucket and chilled with ice for about two hours after being transported to the processing workshop." Chen Xin, production director of Danjiangkou Boao aquatic products Co., Ltd., said.

According to Chen Xin, in terms of the production process of single cooked fish fillets, it takes about 45 hours for a product from the selection of raw fish, cutting, curing, drying, vacuum packaging to the final delivery, among which the curing process takes about 36 hours. On the wall of the production and processing workshop, you can easily see the production process of cooked fish products and quick-frozen products.

"Although part of the production process may take a long time, all products must be in strict accordance with the company's production process, which can not be ambiguous at all." As the "housekeeper" of the production workshop, Chen Xin repeatedly stressed the importance of product quality.

After two hours of ice treatment, staff are "descaling" raw fish.

As a quick-frozen package of Culter culter aquatic products, raw fish in strict accordance with the selection of each between 600 g and 800 G.

The staff are rinsing the pickled culter Culter ilishaeformis in order to enter the subsequent production process.

According to the staff, before vacuumizing and bagging, the spine spines of the fish need to be cleaned to ensure that the packaging bag will not be punctured.

After removing the spines of the fish, the raw fish should be "washed" again to ensure the cleanliness of Culter culter before entering the vacuum packaging.

The staff are putting the processed products into the vacuum packaging bag in an orderly way according to the specifications.

In order to keep the bag in a high decompression state, the lack of air is equivalent to the effect of low oxygen, so that microorganisms have no living conditions, in order to achieve the purpose of fresh fruits and no rot.

In order to ensure the taste and quality of quick-frozen culter culter culter products, the products must be refrigerated after vacuum packaging, and the refrigeration temperature must be below minus 18 ℃. The picture shows that the workers are freezing the packaged products.

Today, the company's product production is more standardized, and the product types are more abundant, gradually forming the main products represented by "one green and two white". The green refers to the green shrimp, and the white refers to the topmouth culter and silverfish. Zhang Cheng said with a smile: topmouth culter is the "business card" of Danjiangkou City, and I will insist on doing it well
