Fresh fish from Pudu is served. Domestic fish is delicious and inexpensive.

The Ghost Festival is approaching, and the Fisheries Agency recommends that people buy seasonal domestic fish such as milkfish, Taiwan sea bream, sea bass and red snapper as sacrificial fish options, which are economical and affordable. In addition to purchasing at traditional markets, promotional sales will be held in various hypermarkets, supermarkets and fish markets from today on. Please seize the opportunity to purchase more and love domestically produced fish products.

It is a custom that every household will prepare fish, chicken and pork as three kinds of animals for sacrifice around the Ghost Festival to pray for success and peace. In order to meet the needs of the people for general salvation and worship, the Fisheries Agency not only guides fishery production and marketing groups to jointly recommend seasonal fresh fish, but also introduces how to transform the fish after worship into delicious dishes. In the past, the taste of dry-frying or deep-frying remained unchanged, but with simple preparation, such as deep-frying Taiwan sea bream with tomato seasoning and removing the fish bones from deep-fried milkfish, it can be quickly cooked into seafood salty porridge, etc., and the taste is upgraded.

Deputy Director of the Fisheries Agency, Tsai Ri-yao, emphasized that Taiwan's annual aquaculture output exceeds 300,000 metric tons. Domestic aquatic products are fresh and delicious, and the prices are relatively affordable compared to imported products. Taiwanese people consume more local and seasonal domestic aquatic products, which is not only in line with the concept of health, but also saves energy and reduces carbon emissions. In addition, fish is rich in protein and a variety of vitamins, minerals and trace elements, but the fat content and calories are lower than other animal meats, making it the best choice for those seeking a healthy diet.
