Although Whitemouth Croaker <em>is<\/em> the correct name for this scientific species, due to its yellow colour, it is often referred to as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mooijer.nl\/en\/?post_type=bnss_product&#038;s=Yellow+croaker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Yellow Croaker<\/a>. While conducting trades, everyone refers to the fish as a Yellow Croaker, which is why we also use this name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Almost all ethnic groups eat this fish on a weekly basis, but it is less well-known in Western Europe. When served whole, the fish has a golden colour. When steamed, the Yellow Croaker is a sight to behold. The fish all have indigenous names due to Suriname being a mix of African, Chinese and Creole cultures. There, Yellow Croaker is also called Zeekoebie, Malua and Wong Fa Yu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mooijer.nl\/en\/?post_type=bnss_product&#038;s=Yellow+croaker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Check out our Whitemouth Croaker or Meagre fish products<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mooijer.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/Riemvis-Haarstaartdegenvis-Mooijer-Volendam-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Ribbonfish \u2013 Trichiurus lepturus\" class=\"wp-image-22136\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ribbonfish &#8211; <strong><em>Trichiurus lepturus<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mooijer.nl\/en\/?post_type=bnss_product&#038;s=ribbonfish\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ribbonfish<\/a>, beltfish or <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Largehead_hairtail\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Largehead hairtail<\/a> derives its name from its flat elongated shape.
