The more delicious a fish is, the more annoying its fish bones are. Not long ago, Laurent, the male lead and musical actor of the French musical "Rock Mozart"? Ban's experience of "removing fish bones" at Shanghai Ruijin Hospital once became a hot topic. So, which fish bones are more likely to get stuck in the throat and should be eaten with extra caution? Professor Liu Shaowei, a member of the expert group of Shanghai Food Safety Research Association, said in an interview with China Consumer News that generally speaking, the spines of wild fish are harder and more likely to get stuck in the throat than those of farmed fish. Freshwater fish have more muscle spines than saltwater fish, making it more difficult to remove and prone to throat blockage. Regardless of the type of fish, it is not recommended to put prickly meat directly into the mouth and rely on teeth and tongue to solve the problem on their own. Liu Shaowei explained that, generally speaking, wild fish grow for a long time, and their bones will accumulate more calcium, with a relatively hard texture. The maturation cycle of farmed fish is shorter than that of wild fish, and the precipitation time of calcium is also less than that of wild fish, so the spines are not as hard. So, wild fish bones stuck in the throat are even more difficult to deal with. Marine fish generally have fewer and larger fish bones, making it easier to remove them. Different types of marine fish have different numbers and hardness of spines. For example, some parts of the spines are very hard, such as sea bass, stingray, tiger fish, eel catfish, etc., while marine fish such as yellow croaker, hairtail, and ray have softer spines. In freshwater fish, there are relatively few fish bones such as pomfret, mandarin fish, perch, and blackfish. Common freshwater fish such as crucian carp, carp, and bighead carp have many muscle bones, making them more difficult to deal with when eaten. After being stuck by fish bones, almost 80% of patients have tried "dirty methods" such as swallowing rice and drinking vinegar, but most of the time these methods are not only useless, but also very dangerous. Liu Shaowei explained that vinegar cannot soften fish bones in a short period of time, and swallowing rice can easily carry fish bones that were originally in the throat into the esophagus, causing greater harm. Therefore, if you encounter a fishbone stuck in your throat, you should immediately stop eating. You can try coughing first to see if you can cough it up. If not, you should seek medical attention in a timely manner. Liu Shaowei reminds consumers to maintain the integrity of the fish during cooking, and to carefully remove the fine spines between the muscles before eating. When eating fish, you should focus on picking the spines, chew slowly, and not mix it with rice and swallow it in one bite. At the same time, be especially careful not to chat while eating fish, and try to eat less fish with small spines. (New Society)
