Wuxi stinky fish has become the representative of Wuxi cuisine because of its unique production technology and taste. This kind of food can be tasted in all major restaurants and roadside stalls in Wuxi, but where can I eat the most authentic osmanthus fish?
First of all, I recommend Wuxi's time-honored restaurant-"Visiting the Mao Lu". The stinky fish here is fresh fish from Taihu Lake, Wuxi. Traditional pickling and cooking techniques are used to make the taste more intense. The sweet-scented osmanthus fish eaten here is fragrant at the first bite, and the mushy fish in the second bite is wrapped in thin seasoning juice that is easy to melt. It tastes tender and smooth and has a long aftertaste.
Secondly, I recommend "Tiger Fish House" restaurant in Wuxi. The stinky fish in Tiger Fish House is not only delicious, but also not fishy. It is the first choice for people who like seafood. The sauce provided by the restaurant is bright red in color and unique in taste. Generally speaking, the osmanthus fish here is relatively heavy and the price is slightly higher, but it is really worth the money.
Finally, there is a "Jinyuanxiang" restaurant in Xishan District of Wuxi, which also provides excellent osmanthus fish. The stinky fish here is terrible and exquisite, and the fish is tender, very fresh and delicious. Pectin seasoning is the secret recipe of this restaurant. On the basis of traditional sesame paste, a variety of peppers and prickly ash are added to make the taste more diverse.
In a word, the stinky fish in Wuxi is a delicious dish. No matter where you taste it, you can enjoy the tongue-tip feast brought by delicious food. However, the above three restaurants have their own uniqueness in production and taste. I believe you will fall in love with Wuxi's food and culture after visiting these restaurants.
