Flower Fish

Flower Fish

　　Flower Fish, also known as mudskippers, are found in brackish rivers near Shajing and Songgang, as well as in the muddy areas of tidal flats and shallow beaches. They dig burrows to live in and often hop playfully out of their holes when the tide recedes and the mud is exposed. This behavior gives them the name “mudskippers,” while their spotted bodies also earn them the name “Flower Fish.” Flower Fish can be steamed, pan-fried, or used in soups. A particularly nourishing dish is Flower Fish soup with wolfberries and greens, known for its benefits in clearing liver heat and improving vision. (Shenzhen)
