Fushan shad

Shad is a unique traditional aquatic delicacy in the Yangtze River estuary in southern Jiangsu. Whether steamed or braised, it is delicious. The origin of this rare fish is limited to the river in Yucheng area, and the fishing season is short, so it can only be seen around the Dragon Boat Festival. Therefore, it is a rare commodity, worth a hundred times, and it is said that the shad is a fairy in the Yaochi of the Queen Mother of the West. Later, because of its beauty, it was sent to the East China Sea and turned into a fish. It was accepted as a servant by Prince dragon three. In May of one year, Prince dragon three took the fish to Poyang Lake for a blind date, passed through Fushan Port, and rushed to Zhang Tianshi's ritual, which was won by Tianshi. After being operated on at noon, he was rescued by a girl and fled back to the East China Sea. Since his salvation, Prince dragon three has sent shad to Fushan Port to pay homage to him at the beginning of May every year.
