"Pearl River Bridge" brand is a national trademark brand with a long history, due to historical reasons, the current trademark in the soy sauce condiment category is held by Guangdong Food Import and Export Group Corporation, and the canned food category is held by COFCO. Although the words and graphics of the trademark are identical, there is no actual connection between "Pearl River Bridge Soy Sauce" and "Pearl River Bridge Canned Dace".
 
As a well-known export canned food brand left over from the planned economy era, Pearl River Bridge has always held a high market share in Hong Kong and Macao, and is one of the most well-known canned food brands in Hong Kong. The brand's canned dace with tempeh entered the Hong Kong market earlier than other similar products, and is highly recognized by Hong Kong consumers and has been regarded as a classic by generations of Hong Kong people. Due to its high popularity in Hong Kong, the Pearl River Bridge canned dace with tempeh has attracted more attention from the Hong Kong media, while its popularity in the mainland is average.
 
Pearl River Bridge canned dace is produced on an OEM basis, mainly for the export market. There are two manufacturers responsible for the production of Pearl River Bridge canned dace, one is Shunde Yuehua Canned Food Co., Ltd., whose own brand canned dace products also have a certain market reputation; The second is Zhongshan Baoli Food Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Zhongshan Shuichu Group in Guangdong Province, which is currently the main supplier of canned dace of Pearl River Bridge.
 
Pearl River Bridge's canned dace with tempeh is divided into domestic and export packaging, and the export packaging is mainly supplied to the Hong Kong and Macao markets. The net content of the domestic package is 184g or 227g, and the appearance of the 184g package is different from that of the 227g package; For export, there is only one product with a net content of 227g. It should be noted that even if the net content is the same, there is a certain difference in the proportion of nutrients between domestic and export packs, and canned dace with tempeh is a typical high-sodium and high-fat food, and the sodium content and total fat content of export packaging are relatively low, and the protein content is higher, which is obviously healthier than domestic packaging.
 
Compared with similar products, the flavor and taste of Zhujiang Bridge canned dace with tempeh are the most balanced. Among them, the classic export 227g package is the most recommended, the fish is regular, the block shape is uniform, and the texture is tight; The taste is crispy and tough, the softness and hardness are moderate, the heat and aroma of frying are sufficient, there is no residue when chewed, and the quality of the base oil is good, and the oiliness is relatively refreshing. In addition, the tempeh in the canned food is also of good quality, the smell is strong, the aroma of the soy sauce is stronger, and the oil can make the fish more salty and fragrant after being stored in the tank.
 
In addition to the most common canned dace with tempeh, Pearl River Bridge also has "canned black bean fish" and "canned freshly fried dace" for sale. Pearl River Bridge's "canned tempeh fish", which is commonly found in mainland supermarkets, is made from tilapia instead of dace and has a slightly inferior taste to canned dace. Freshly fried canned dace does not contain tempeh, and the overall taste is light.
 
Regardless of whether it is sold domestically or externally, 227g canned dace with black bean sauce should be the most ideal choice for Pearl River Bridge canned dace products. The price of these two canned dace with tempeh is also among the best in the market, with retail prices ranging from about 25 yuan to 30 yuan, almost two to three times that of similar products on the market. The price of freshly fried canned dace is also higher than that of other brands, while the relatively inexpensive canned black bean fish is similar to that of other brands. Pearl River Bridge's canned dace has a small amount of offline distribution, so it is recommended to purchase online.
 
It is worth noting that traces of malachite green were detected in 2017 in Hong Kong in Canned Tempeh dace from Pearl River Bridge. Hong Kong's requirement for malachite green in food is "zero detection", so the batch of products has been stopped for sale and recalled. However, the malachite green content of the product in question is far below the detection limit of the relevant national standards in China, and based on the available scientific conclusions, it should be considered that the malachite green residue level of the canned Zhujiang Bridge brand dace in question does not pose a health risk.
