Croaker Fish (Yellow)

Yellow croaker fish (Larimichthys polyactis) is a saltwater fish commonly found in the coastal waters of East Asia, particularly in China, Korea, and Japan. It is named for its distinctive yellowish-gold coloration and the croaking sound it produces using its swim bladder. Yellow croaker has a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a tender, flaky texture, making it popular in various cuisines. It is often steamed, fried, grilled, or used in soups and stews.

Rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential nutrients like selenium and vitamin B12, yellow croaker is a nutritious choice. However, due to overfishing, wild populations have declined, leading to increased aquaculture production.
