Ranking of the Top 10 Most Expensive Freshwater Fish in China:
Top1: Dali bowfish
Dali bowfish, also known as the Dali schizothoracin (Schizothorax taliensis), is named for its bow-like shape. Having no fishy smell is its greatest advantage; it tastes delicious and is extremely expensive. The Chinese Academy of Sciences once offered 100,000 yuan for a wild schizothoracin, yet still could not obtain one.
Top2: Kaluga sturgeon
The kaluga sturgeon is the largest freshwater fish in the world; it can generally grow to at least several hundred jin, and at most reach several thousand jin in weight. It lives in the northeast region of China, and its numbers are very scarce, especially the larger ones. Although it is very large and its flesh is very delicious, people mostly use the roe in its belly to make caviar. Although the caviar made from kaluga sturgeon is not as good as that from sturgeon, it is still very popular. Generally, a kaluga sturgeon of around a thousand jin can sell for several hundred thousand yuan, a truly impressive price.
Top3: Mount Tai red-scale fish
The Mount Tai red-scale fish is a rare freshwater fish with a very long history of being eaten. Because of its delicious flavor, it is welcomed by many people, which ultimately led to its current extremely scarce numbers; wild red-scale fish are almost impossible to see now, and nearly all are farmed. Although the Mount Tai red-scale fish looks very ordinary, it tastes much more delicious than ordinary freshwater fish, and it is very small. Its current price is also truly impressive, at least around ten thousand yuan per jin.
Top4: Yangtze saury
The Yangtze saury, together with pufferfish and hilsa herring, is known as one of the Three Fresh Delicacies of the Yangtze. Most saury on the market today is lake saury, sea saury, or river saury, yet their taste and quality cannot compare with Yangtze saury. Overfishing has caused today's stocks to drop sharply. Now wild Yangtze saury weighing two liang sells for more than 2,000 yuan per jin, one weighing three liang sells for more than 3,000 yuan per jin, and one weighing four liang sells for more than 8,000 yuan. At restaurants, all kinds of prices will double on this basis.
Top5: Taihu icefish
The Taihu icefish has a body that is entirely transparent milky white. This fish also has different names.

You have all tried it, right?
Top6: Yangtze hilsa herring
The Yangtze hilsa herring is hailed as the foremost of the Three Fresh Delicacies of the Yangtze. Its taste is extremely delicious; one bite makes it impossible to stop, it is exceptionally delicious and a rare freshwater fish. There are many ways to prepare Yangtze hilsa herring, but they are also very simple. Wild ones are now almost impossible to eat; what people eat now is all farmed. However, because production is relatively low and farming difficulty is relatively high, the survival rate is extremely low, which makes the price more than just impressive, at least over a thousand yuan per jin, and it is very hard to eat. It is a delicacy that can only be encountered by chance, not sought.
Top7: Military fish
The military fish is an ordinary freshwater fish living south of the Yangtze River. Its appearance can be said to be truly plain and unremarkable, without many highlights, and it is not large either, with not too many edible parts. But its taste is also very delicious. However, compared with its flesh, its scales are the most impressive, because the scales of the military fish have excellent heat dissipation effects; the higher the temperature, the better their toughness, and they can be made into many high-tech materials. They are very precious. Its scales cost at least around ten thousand yuan per jin, which can be said to be truly impressive.
Top8: Topmouth culter
The topmouth culter is a relatively large fish, and it is completely unlike other fish: it is very good at jumping, which means that if you catch it with a net, it can still jump out by itself. Its temperament is very irritable, and it can be said that this fish is rather timid. Many people who catch this fish fry it and eat it, and this fish that is very hard to catch is also very expensive.
Top9: Sesame sword
Sesame sword, scientific name Hemibagrus guttatus, is a very precious freshwater fish living in Guangxi. Its appearance is rather impressive, with black spots all over its body like sesame seeds, hence the name. This fish is also relatively large, generally around 10 jin, and at most can grow to several dozen jin. It is now very scarce, but its vitality is relatively strong, and it is delicious and nutritious. More importantly, it belongs to a kind of scaleless fish and is an indispensable delicacy on many people's dining tables.
