One is "Dragon and Phoenix Match". It is a traditional famous dish in Jingzhou area, which is made from Monopterus albus and chicks by boiling, marinating, frying and sliding.

The second is "fish cake balls". Fish cake balls are a unique flavor in Jingzhou area, which is known as eating fish instead of eating fish.

One summer, the shopkeeper bought more fish, but business was slow that day and there were many fish in the evening. Seeing that the fish was going to rot, the shopkeeper used his quick wits to simply remove all the fishbones, cut the fish into pieces, add some eggs, add some bean flour, pour some white wine to remove the fishy smell, then make a cake and steam it in a steamer. The next day, the fish cake was cut into pieces, steamed in a bowl, poured with seasoning and sold on the table. It turned out to be very popular. Later, the fish cakes became more and more refined. People make cakes with fish and fat, and then make meatballs with pork and yam. Fish cakes are placed at the bottom of the meatballs. Finally, the belly slices and waist slices are cooked and fried, and many dishes are placed in bowls, commonly known as "miscellaneous meatballs".
The third kind is "Lapi eel". There is a "Juzhen Garden" restaurant in Jingzhou. The "eel" in Juzhen Garden is a traditional dish, and the eel is a good food therapy. Famous doctors don't record eel as the top grade, saying that it has the effect of nourishing five internal organs and treating deficiency.
The fourth is "winter melon turtle skirt soup". It is made of fat turtle skirt and tender wax gourd, stewed with chicken soup and seasoning. According to the Records of Jiangling County, in the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Renzong summoned Zhang Jing, a native of Jingzhou, and asked him what was delicious in Jiangling.
