Xiamen is a city of gourmet food. With its unique geographical location and marine resources, the seafood here is delicious, and the boiled live fish is especially famous.
A seemingly ordinary home-cooked dish has a unique charm on the Xiamen dining table.
Boiled live fish is one of Xiamen's traditional dishes. It is made with fresh fish and cooked with chili, bean paste, Sichuan pepper and other spices. It is mouth-watering.
Not only that, Xiamen people are warm and hospitable, and the chefs will tailor the dishes according to the guests' taste needs, so that every guest can have their favorite taste.
Preparing boiled live fish requires certain skills. If cooked improperly, the fish will be stale and the spiciness will be too strong or too light, affecting the taste.
Therefore, Xiamen’s traditional boiled live fish has a set of classic recipes and steps. Only by mastering it properly can the delicious live fish be presented to the guests.
When tasting the boiled live fish, in addition to deeply feeling the umami flavor of the fish and the spicy taste of the pepper, there is also a tingling and tingling sensation.
This taste is reminiscent of chili peppers, the ingredient that represents Chinese delicacy.
I believe that the boiled live fish in Xiamen paired with the heat-clearing and heat-relieving rice will make you want to taste more with every bite, making it unforgettable.
