How to select yellow catfish

1. Fresh live yellow catfish: The yellow catfish has a stout body, a slightly flat head, a laterally compressed trunk and tail, a sloping back, broad and flat chest and belly, thin skin on top of the head, relatively rough skin, a purely round snout, medium eyes, a large mouth opening, small villiform teeth, thin and simple lips, a bare upper occiput, a backward-extending bone spine, 4 pairs of barbels, 8 to 10 gill rakers, and a deeply forked caudal fin. Its features differ considerably from those of ordinary fish, so buy with care.

2. Frozen yellow catfish

① High-quality frozen yellow catfish have full, protruding eyeballs that are fresh and bright; those with sunken, lusterless eyes are of inferior quality.

② High-quality frozen yellow catfish have a bright, glossy appearance, intact scales and a complete body; those with dull gray skin, no luster, an unclean body surface or incomplete scales are defective.

③ High-quality frozen yellow catfish have a complete, unruptured anus that is tightly contracted with no turbid color; those with a loose, protruding anus, a large anal area or rupture are defective.

④ Frozen yellow catfish that, after thawing, have poor muscle elasticity, unclear muscle fibers and a foul smell are spoiled.

⑤ If frozen yellow catfish stored too long have brown spots on the head and a yellowed belly, it means the fat has gone bad, and such fish must not be eaten.

⑥ Once frozen yellow catfish is thawed, it spoils very easily, so even if the frozen yellow catfish you buy is of good quality, it should be eaten promptly. Do not put it back in the refrigerator to freeze a second time.
