After nearly 30 years' research and development in Zhu Shuncai, the fish head in Tianmu Lake casserole is regarded as the best traditional dish in Jiangsu and a wonderful flower in Chinese cuisine.
The fish head boiled in Tianmu Lake casserole is made of silver carp head naturally raised in Tianmu Lake water as raw material and pure natural Tianmu Lake as soup base by special cooking technology.
Because the beautiful Tianmu Lake is not only filtered by the green vegetation of the surrounding mountains, but also the bottom of the lake is sand instead of mud, this unique natural environment makes Tianmu Lake clear, sweet and spotless, so the fish growing in it have no earthy smell. Therefore, the fish head of Tianmu Lake casserole is highly praised by the vast number of food lovers for its excellent quality of "fresh but not fishy, fat but not greasy".
Extended data:
"Zhu Shuncai was only in his 30 s at that time and was the canteen master of the guest house." Sheng Guanping, general manager of Tianmu Lake Hotel in liyang city, Jiangsu Province, said that Liyang 1978 has not been built yet, and it is still the Shahe Reservoir Guest House in the county, with only a dozen rooms.
At that time, after the local people cast nets to catch catfish (bighead carp), they only ate the fish body, and most of the chopped fish heads were thrown away. Zhu Shuncai felt it was a pity, so he picked up the fish head discarded by others to make soup. After the soup was boiled, he found that the fish head soup was delicious.
Zhu Shuncai was overjoyed at this discovery, determined to explore further and made great efforts in material selection, seasoning and cooking. Catfish that have been wild in the reservoir for many years are carefully selected as the main material, and the sweet and pure lake water is used as the soup base. After mixing all the ingredients, they are put into a casserole made of Yixing clay and simmered slowly. After years of repeated research, a wonderful casserole fish head was finally made.
