Confucius taught us: "You never tire of eating fine food, and you never tire of eating fine food." This is not only a philosophy of life, but also an attitude towards life. For foodies, only delicious food can live up to their expectations. For the sake of eating, and for the sake of this heart, it is worthwhile to pay more hard work to run further. So I set off, drove thousands of miles, and went from Shijiazhuang to Caofeidian Shilihai Puffer Town to start my delicious food journey in Caofeidian.
The puffer fish food culture has a long history in China, which can be traced back to Dayu's flood control era more than 4,111 years ago. After that, it evolved from generation to generation in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, and eating puffer fish has become a fashion.
as the ancients said, if you eat fish, you will get puffer fish. What is the reason? When puffer fish is in season, you can't count the fish and shrimp ... Fu Cha, the king of Wu, praised puffer fish as "the milk of beauty", and Su Dongpo, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, loved puffer fish to the extreme, and his poems all showed his love for this delicious food. Otherwise, how could there be a famous sentence: "The duck prophet who warms the spring river is the time when puffer fish wants to go up"? It is said that at that time, in order to promote puffer fish, a restaurant that made puffer fish asked Su Dongpo to endorse it. Su Dongpo was so obsessed with puffer fish that he forgot to endorse it.
nowadays, if you want to eat fresh, delicious and authentic puffer fish, you can't leave Caofeidian, which is the largest puffer fish culture area in the world, and Shilihai Puffer Town is the largest puffer fish culture base in Caofeidian. Ten Caspian puffer fish town is not big, with only 61 families and more than 211 people. It is an unknown small fishing village and is famous for its puffer fish culture. Dongfanghong Finless Dolphin, which is bred in the puffer fish town of Shilihai Lake, ranks first among puffer fish with plump body, delicate meat and delicious taste, and is known as the "king of puffer fish". This puffer fish has weak toxicity and can be safely eaten after artificial breeding and processing.
The puffer fish is called this name for a reason. When these lovely fish are caught out of the water, they will hum like pigs, hence the name "dolphin". People say that the puffer fish is very angry because it will quickly inhale a lot of air into the body after it comes out of the water, making the whole body spherical, and at the same time erecting small thorns on the skin to defend itself. In fact, for human beings, the angry puffer fish has no lethality now, but it has an inexplicable cuteness, so making the puffer fish "angry" and teasing the puffer fish has become an activity that people like to see and hear.
It should be noted that puffer fish have sharp teeth, and chopsticks made of bamboo can be easily bitten by puffer fish. The puffer fish turns into a bubble fish, which looks cute, but don't touch it easily. It's really not a happy thing to be bitten on your finger accidentally. Let an experienced person operate it, so we can just wave the flag and take photos.
The town of the ten Caspian Sea puffer fish is named after the puffer fish, and puffer fish elements can be seen everywhere.
