      Can live fish be cooked immediately?

      In fact, this way of eating is unscientific. Whether it is from the perspective of nutritional value or taste, live fish or freshly dead fish are not the best time to eat.

      After the fish dies, after a period of time, the thigh meat gradually becomes stiff. In the stiff fish, the protein in the muscle tissue does not break down to produce amino acids, and amino acids are the main components of umami. Not only does the meat feel hard when eaten, but it is also not conducive to digestion and absorption by the human body. When the fish body enters a high degree of stiffness, it begins to transform into the autolysis stage. At this time, the rich protein in the fish is gradually decomposed into various amino acids that are easily absorbed by the human body under the action of protease. The fish at this stage will taste very delicious no matter how you cook it.
