Fishing in the Night

"Natural dried fish!" The speaker didn't pay much attention to his words, but his listener did (1).
Dried fish's primary characteristic was actually its long shelf-life, and the texture and taste were only secondary, despite how delicious it was. It was just like dried meat, filling the whole mouth with heavenly flavors, lingering in the mouth long after being swallowed.
But the dried fish only kept part of its original nutrients and lost all the rest, and in the process of drying, the fish was also exposed to bacteria, thus it normally wasn't served in large restaurants.
But Chu Ming's dried fish, Chu Xian thought with confidence, was definitely just as delicious as any shark fin or abalone, and maybe even better.
"Uncle, is a natural dried fish the kind of fish that has high density and little water content in its body?" Chu Xian asked with an air of casual curiosity.
