The most tragic creature: It took 300 million years to climb to land, but the journey ended at the dinner table

The evolution of biology must be a temptation for every species on Earth, always thinking that they can evolve into higher animals in the fastest time, but not degenerate with the change of time. . Recalling the very beginning of the Earth, at that time the entire Earth was submerged by sea water, life also appeared from the ocean. Today human exploration of the ocean is quite limited, and the ocean is where life begins. Even more so with a sense of mystery.

Today we can have terrestrial, marine and amphibians. Of course, there are many species that are thinking of being able to move from the ocean to the land. This is also a continuous evolutionary trend, and the mainland seems to have become the destination for development. What we're going to talk about next is one such species, it used to belong to fish, but now it's also moved from the ocean to land, and it can stay on land longer. It is the Pacific rattan cane fish - a fish that lives on land and can jump long distances even without legs. This is a marine fish but is terrestrial in all aspects of daily life as an adult, living on rocky shores, much ahead of its peers. In Vietnam, it is called mudskipper fish.

Muddy fish.

In the study, it was discovered that the fish's front fins had also evolved to support its body, meaning it had a prerequisite for walking on land, and also can jump, and swim when back on the water. Its sea swimming skills are still quite good.

Meanwhile, this type of fish can breathe on land mainly because they store water in their gills before coming ashore, so they can stay on land for a while, and their skin also has the ability to breathe. steaming, along with their own jumping ability, allows them to reach some places farther from the coast.

In short, if the momentum is like that, it is quite possible for them to evolve into terrestrial animals, which is essentially a qualitative change in nature.

Some experts say it took them 300 million years to evolve into what it is today, but unfortunately, they encountered us on land and became a delicacy on the table. The taste and nutrition of this fish is very high, so their price is also very high. In Can Gio, mudskippers are processed in many ways, but the most popular ones are grilled and grilled.

Before grilling, mudskippers will be coated with a layer of salt and pepper before being grilled. Because the length of the mudskipper's body is only about 30 cm, the chef will have to do it evenly. When the skin is just yellow and fragrant, when the fish continues to be cooked, a layer of onion fat will be applied to increase the flavor. Although the shape of the mudskipper after grilling looks quite 'disgusting', when you separate the fish, you will find the white fish meat, delicious, especially when the fish cools down, there is still no fishy smell.

The shape of mudskipper after grilling looks quite 'disgusting', but the flesh of the fish is white and delicious.

For mudskipper salad mixed with pliers leaves, mudskippers are also grilled, but not seasoned with salt, peppers or spices. Once the fish is cooked, shred the fish into bite-sized pieces. Then, mix it with pure sour cilantro, along with some other vegetables and onions to decorate like regular salads. This dish is dipped in sweet fish sauce and eaten with shrimp puffs. In addition, the fish is also pureed to make fish cakes as usual. Then roll in 1 steamed shrimp. Also, wrap the outside with seaweed instead of 'rice paper'. Then, put in frying oil pan until cooked, served with raw vegetables, ripe tomatoes.

Indeed, it is possible that many species see humans as an enemy to their evolution. Human wisdom has taken a lot of action against other species.

Maybe this sea creature has spent 300 million years, finally climbed to the mainland, but encountered a life form as powerful as a human. Therefore, people call this species the most "suffering". Then, whether to continue growing or return to the ocean, it will probably still be a difficult thing for them. It is indeed a difficulty of not only this fish.
