The fish farm claims to feed up to 5,000kg of various peppers per day, which makes the fish clearer and better in taste.
The fish farm in Changsha, Hunan Province, China, is about 12,000 pyeong and farms thousands of fish, according to Chinese media Dilipi News and Hong Kong media South China Morning Post.
Jang (40), a middle school classmate and co-operator of the fish farm, and Bang (40), are feeding fish various kinds of peppers that people eat. They argued that "'Fish that ate red pepper grows better, tastes better, and scales shine like gold.'"
At first, fish were reluctant to eat peppers, but now they eat peppers first if they throw grass and peppers together.
In response, Jang said "Fish does not develop a taste like humans, so they are not sensitive to spicy taste."Chili peppers are rich in vitamins like aquatic plants, and increase intestinal health and stress resistance." Then "Capsaicin in peppers promotes intestinal movement, helps digestion and nutrient absorption, and prevents parasites to accelerate growth. "Fish fed with red pepper is softer and more delicious than regular feed."
In addition, they are also reducing feed costs by receiving peppers free of charge that are not sold by local farms or are on the verge of spoilage.
Due to this unique style of farming, fish farms have become attractions for fishermen as well as nearby citizens.
Netizens are saying, `This seems natural in the home of spicy taste", "Even a person can't eat that many peppers"', "It's almost seasoned fish. They post comments such as "'You can cook right away with Sancho, ginger, garlic, and green onions.'"
