Introduction to bonito:
In the Western Pacific, there is a large area of extremely warm and barren water, known as the warm pool. There is one of the largest bonito populations. These bonito are most active in foraging on the western edge of the warm pool. There are two ocean current systems with completely different water quality, resulting in a convergence zone. Around it, nutrition, plankton and small fish are concentrated.
Originally, skipjack fish wandering around to prey only need to migrate with the food and the ocean current. In spring and summer, they come in groups and can be caught all over the coast. Bonito is the main fishing object of tuna purse seine, as well as the fishing object of towing wool fishing and drift gill net. Like tuna, bonito is an important economic fish in the ocean. It can be used for fresh food or made into salty and dry products. The world's major fishing countries use bonito to process canned products, which is very popular in the European and American markets. Skipjack is widely distributed. Skipjack can be found in waters with water temperatures above 15 ° C in the Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean, with rich reserves and optimistic development and utilization prospects. The firewood fish soup often used in Japanese cooking is made of bonito.
Bonito is cooked in Japan with special technology, and smoked repeatedly after removing the bones. Because the smoked bonito is as hard as wood, it is also known as' wooden fish '. It is also known as bonito Festival. The granular condiment made of this smoked bonito as the main component and combined with various amino acids and nucleic acid raw materials is also known as' wooden fish essence'. It is one of the most commonly used condiments in Japanese cuisine and Japanese restaurant.
