As everything comes back to life in the vibrant spring, people's longing for fishes in the Yangtze River also revives.

Tasting Yangtze River's fishes in spring has become an indispensable part of Taicang residents' lives.

Saury along with globefish and reeves shad is known as Yangtze River's three most delicious fishes.

When to eat

With tender, tasty meat, and fat but not greasy flavor, saury is popular among particular foodies. However, many of them said that they are afraid to eat saury due to the countless bones.

Actually, before China's traditional Tomb-Sweeping Day (April 5), saury's fishbone is quite soft and after that date, their fishbone would become hard and it's really impossible to have a happy eating time.
