【释名】 鲙鱼(音同“回”)、 鱼(有“化”、“获”两个读音)。
李时珍说:北方人称它为 [某种称呼],南方人称它为 [某种称呼],其实都是指这种鱼。
【集解】 李时珍说:
它的鳃盖下方也有骨头,但骨头不柔软脆嫩。
【正误】 陈藏器说:
将其晒成干品装在瓶子里。食用时用布包裹在水中浸泡使用,与新鲜时无异。
李时珍说:陈藏器的说法,出自《杜宝拾遗录》。书中记载:隋朝大业六年,吴郡进献海 [某物],在五、六月间捕获大的 [某物] 四、五 [单位]。
[原文此处有缺漏或错简,意指] 坚固。使用时用布包裹在水中浸泡,一会儿后去掉水,它就洁白如新了。李时珍按语:这其实是海 [某物] 的腥味。如果是江河里的 [某类] 鱼,则没有鳞片且极腥。陈氏大概因为 [某字] 和 [某字] 字形相似,不加考究,导致了谬误。现在予以纠正。
