There are fish in Vietnam, the intestines contain a precious thing like gold, you can catch one fish to eat for a lifetime

Vietnam has a long coastline, with a variety of aquatic resources, including an extremely rare fish with a price of up to billions of dollars, which is sought after by many countries around the world, that is the yellow scorpion.

Otolithoides biauritus, also known as yellow fin pompano, is the largest fish in the sardines family, belonging to the order of sea bass (family Sciaenidae). This fish is distributed in India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, China, and Vietnam. It lives in the sea, but during the breeding season (usually from January to April every year), they swim towards brackish estuaries to lay eggs. When the eggs hatch, the fry will swim back up to fresh water to live for the first 1 to 2 years.

In Vietnam, yellow catfish is scattered from the North to the South. Central provinces such as Thanh Hoa and Nghe An also appear this fish, but recently it is almost extinct, rarely found. Therefore, the yellow catfish becomes a rare fish species. The rarity and value of this fish has made them worth billions of dong.

Yellow fish meat is a dish that is very popular with the people of Hong Kong, China and Japan. According to the Chinese concept, eating goldfish brings good luck. As for the Vietnamese and Japanese, this fish is likened to being given by heaven because of its economic value and rarity.

The most expensive thing that makes up the billions of goldfish is the fish’s bladder. Because the dried fish balls are said to have the same nutritional value as ginseng, in the bubbles of the yellow pomelo, every 500 grams of bubbles contains 442 grams of protein. Therefore, eating it helps to replenish the legs, activate the blood and yang, supplement the body with weakness, anemia, especially for pregnant women or after giving birth.

There is information that the price of the golden fish ball is therefore up to 45,000 – 55,000 USD/kg depending on the length of the ball (equivalent to 1-1.25 billion VND/kg).

In addition to the nutritional value, yellow fish also has a high value in medicine. Goldfish balloons are used to produce biodegradable sutures in surgical procedures. This thread does not cause tissue damage, minimizing the risk of infection. The self-dissipating thread made from the bubbles of the yellow catfish is used very effectively by medicine in developed countries.

However, in Vietnam, the production of this thread has not been recorded, but only in China and Japan.

In Vietnam, there used to be a few lucky fishermen who caught yellow catfish and sold it at a rather expensive price.
