Rhinoceros, also known as needlefish, mainly grows in the shallow waters of Dongshan Mountain in Taihu Lake not far from Huzhou. It is exquisite and petite, generally about 12 cm long, with a cylindrical body and needle-like horns on its mouth, hence the name hornfish. Most local fishermen dry it in the sun and then cook it in a pot for a while (that is, roast it), so it is called "putting fish" in the dialect. Hornfish meat is delicious, mainly fried, and the stuffing is good. Huzhou restaurant is one of Huzhou's delicacies, including shredded pepper and salt horn fish, pickled horn fish, sweet water horn fish, fried horn fish, horn fish wonton, horn fish balls and so on.

The method is to wrap it in a paper bag (A4 paper is good and clean if it is not available), and microwave 1.5 minutes or so. If the microwave power is low, it is 1.5 minutes. It's delicious to take it out and cool it a little. That taste is delicious, you will know after eating it.
