非洲鯽 / Tilapia


非洲鯽(Tilapia)為一種中小形魚。現在牠是世界水產業的重點科研培養的淡水養殖魚類,且被譽為未來動物性蛋白質的主要來源之一。原產於非洲,屬於慈鯛科之熱帶魚類,和鱸魚相似。通常生活於淡水中,也能生活於不同鹽份含量的鹹水中,可以存活於在湖,河,池塘的淺水中。牠有很強的適應能力,且對溶氧較少之水有極強之適應性。絕大部份非洲鯽是雜食性,常吃水中植物和碎物。此魚在面積狹小之水域中亦能繁殖。甚至在水稻田裡能夠生長。


渥太華是內陸城市,新鮮魚選擇甚少, 在唐人商店, 非洲鯽是唯一可以大量買到的游水魚, 你在水箱挑選生猛肥魚之後,他們會為你清理魚鱗和魚腸,非洲鯽賣價大約是每英鎊5加元。

飲食烹飪: 紅燒方法:

加入兩調羹豉油(醬油),同時加入蔥、薑、糖、醋、料酒、(豆腐,番茄醬)、一至兩杯水, 悶燒5至10分鐘即可。

嘩!啲外國人見到把活生生的魚,生劏去腸臟,竟然沒有告發,是進步了?還是妥協了呢?唐人超市好像是叫 『白“魚立”』和『黑“魚立”』。哈哈哈,我找不到字,唯有用“魚”字和“立”字合成。

Interesting, not idea Talapia is from Africa.

In our super market (e.g. the Loblaw's owned Super store), there are live Tilapia for sale for a few years now.

>> ... 竟然沒有告發

Squeamishness aside, as long as the fishmonger has a commercial license to operate, there is nothing illegal abt killing fish.

>> ... 『白 魚立』和『黑 魚立』

Yeah, there are two types, but I assume they taste the same.

Apparently, according to Wikipedia, two Taiwanese imported the fish from Africa into the Asian market and the rest is history.

The Loblaws Superstore in our neighbourhood does not sell live fish. And, I enjoy shopping in good old Chinatown anyway.
