"Zhongshan fish" are of good quality and are warmly welcomed by consumers in Hong Kong and Macao. Fish products farmed in Minzhong Town are also named as "Zhongshan fish" for Hong Kong and Macao.

Minzhong Town's aquaculture covers an area of about 30,000 mu, around 20 million square meters, mainly raising Chinese carp. At four or five o'clock every day in the morning beside the fishponds, fishermen are busy catching fish, loading cars, and shipping. "Zhongshan fish" then leave the ponds and finally become delicious cuisine on the dining tables.
