Who removes the bones from milkfish?
The golden sunset over the fish ponds along Provincial Highway 17 is the most captivating coastal scenery, and this arterial road is also an important production area and primary processing site for milkfish (Chanos chanos), especially the Xinwen area of Budai Township in Chiayi County and the Beimen District of Tainan City, which are major hubs of the milkfish industry.
Everyone loves to eat "boneless milkfish belly," but in fact milkfish is full of bones, and making "boneless milkfish belly" requires piece-by-piece manual processing. On top of that, milkfish is high in protein and spoils easily, so the processing must race against time to deliver the freshest catch.

An industry racing against time
Besides deboning, how to maintain the freshness of the milkfish is also key to primary processing. Operators say that because milkfish is high in protein and spoils easily, the processing must be time-controlled, with cold-storage equipment and well-connected transportation.
Across the Bazhang River, the nearby Xinwen area of Budai Township in Chiayi County became a major hub of primary milkfish processing largely because of transportation. Adjacent to Provincial Highway 17 and the coastal expressway, Xinwen sits in the middle section of the Yunlin-Chiayi-Tainan route, and with transportation extending in all directions, it is not difficult to complete the supply of ingredients from morning catching, processing, and freezing to afternoon home delivery and evening cooking, allowing consumers to taste the freshest fish.
