Binjiang shad

Riverside shad shad is a water specialty of Jiangdu, and it has been recorded in writing for a long time. "Xuzhi of Jiangdu County" in the Republic of China recorded: "The shad is beautiful and flat, like a bream but long. White, scales like plum petals, fat and beautiful, large and long ... from the sea to fresh water in April, from time to time at the riverside. " One month after Grain Rain, it is a good time to catch shad. As the old saying goes, "Steaming shad to enjoy peony" is really "fashionable" and "expensive". It is delicious, especially fatty under the scales. When eaten in the mouth, it is fat and mellow, with a fragrant smell, which is comparable to that of ordinary fish. People in Jiangdu usually eat shad in braise, but braise in braise is hard to taste the flavor of cream. Therefore, many people like steaming, adding ginger and bamboo shoots, and using lard. The lipid is completely dissolved in the soup, which tastes tender and fresh, fat and beautiful, the fish is slippery and delicate, and the fish soup is fat and mellow, which is really unspeakable. Generally, the scales of burned shad are not removed. Some people don't know that shad scales are edible. After the scaly fish is served on the table, they don't eat it because it is scaly, and the result is a big cry. The shad are strong in nature and usually die soon after touching the net, so few people in the world eat live shad. Some people once went to Sanjiang camp to catch shad with fishermen and enjoyed the pleasure of "being close to the water". They probably want to show the unique pleasure of fishermen. Before fishing, they put the pot on the bow. When pulling the net, they met live shad who had just touched the net. They picked it at hand, immediately cut the belly and took the intestines, washed it and then put it in the pot. It's just boiled river fish with a little salt, but that kind of water is rarely enjoyed by ordinary people. Not only is it well known in China, but it also enjoys a high reputation internationally. With the further opening of Jiangdu, there will be more friends at home and abroad to taste the shad in Jiangdu.
