Xihu fish

1 West Lake fish, the Yellow River flows through Baotou, and the Yellow River carp has long been famous all over the world. Especially the carp thawed and opened by the Yellow River every year is fat and fresh, so there is a saying that "the leek is two inches high and the carp breaks the waist". Fish shops and restaurants call carp weighing more than 1.5 kg as carp, those weighing less than 1.5 kg as flower fish and those weighing less than 1 kg as lai fish. Baotou restaurant is famous for its five-legged fish, squirrel fish, braised fish, sweet and sour fish and steamed fish cooked with carp, and the most distinctive fish is West Lake fish. In 1918, Mr. Lin Jing came to Baotou to "enter the East Gate and live in Wanyisheng Store" ... and had dinner at the restaurant building in the evening, with 1,200 pieces of yellow river carp per plate, which was quite delicious. In 1934, the writer Bing Xin came to Baotou and wrote in his Travel Notes along Pingsui that eating carp from the Yellow River is clean, fat and tender, and it melts in the mouth, which is ugly and beautiful. Only the vinegar fish from the West Lake can be like a thing or two.
