Goby fish

The goby fish or Gobiidae is a member of the Bychkov family and the Perch-like order. Currently, researchers have discovered over 2, 000 representatives of the Bychkov family. Goby fish are classified as coastal species. It is worth noting that goby fish are common in the Black and Azov Seas. For this reason, at the southern resorts popular among residents of our latitudes, you can always taste bull fish.

As a rule, the body length of goby fish does not exceed 40 cm. The main feature of goby fish is a sedentary lifestyle and large head size. Hence, by the way, the name of the fish is a goby for its similarity to the large horned animal of the same name. Fish live behind rocks or in thickets of marine plants. It is also interesting that due to the peculiarities of the structure, the goby fish can even be held in the strongest storm due to suction, which was formed during the evolution and fusion of the ventral fins.

Goby fish are predators and feed on inhabitants of the deep sea, usually mollusks, worms or small fish. Like many other species of marine fish, gobies are quite painfully tolerant of a sharp change in weather conditions. Goby fish belong to commercial fish species. Since science knows a colossal number of varieties of goby fish, researchers divide all representatives of the goby family into two large groups - brackish aquatic and marine.

Among the most widespread and numerous species of goby fish, the following can be distinguished:



Martian goby fish;

round-headed goby fish;

goby-bubyr fish;

zucic goby fish;

bull-throat fish and others.

The Benefits of Goby Fish

In addition to the distinctive taste and consumer properties, goby fish is distinguished by its vitamin and mineral composition. The benefits of goby fish are the content of vitamin PP in the chemical composition of the product, and in addition, natural compounds such as sulfur, zinc, molybdenum, fluorine and others necessary for normal human life.

It is worth noting that dried and salted gobies are especially popular. However, the characteristic taste properties of goby fish make it possible to make a sufficient amount of culinary products from the product. For example, a bull produces beautiful and nutritious fish cutlets. In addition to culinary benefits, goby fish play an important role in cleaning up their habitats.

Usually goby fish are salted and dried, and extremely fresh fish meat is suitable for drying. If the catch lay for at least a couple of hours, a first-class product from gobies will not work. Gobies can be fried or boiled. However, due to the high bone content of the donated or boiled form, the goby fish is much less popular than the cured product. A small, but remote goby fish can become a tasty and healthy food for people of all ages.
