Why can’t the pickled fish, which was once popular all over the country, not be sold anymore?

Do you know 3 reasons why people are disappointed?

Chongqing is a prosperous city hidden deep in the southwest region. It is like a mountain forest in the sky. There is a lot of vitality and wild energy in the chaos!

What do you think of first when you think of Chongqing?

Light Rail Station?

Fashion street photography?

Chongqing Hongya Cave?

NO, this kind of Internet celebrity flavor is just coming from the outside. The real Chongqing old flavor is a Jianghu flavor!

Jianghu cuisine is created for Jianghu people, it has unique insights!

Pepper chicken, spicy snails, boiled meat, pickled fish and other delicacies have become famous and become a century-old brand in Chongqing's Jianghu cuisine.

"Sauerkraut fish" is the "originator" of Chongqing Jianghu cuisine.

As a major dish, the pickled fish does not have the thick layer of chili oil that makes it daunting like boiled fish fillets; nor does it have the terrifying aura of a hot pot restaurant when it is served.

In the 1990s, pickled fish was very popular and could be seen in various restaurants in Chongqing and all over the country.

It is said that it can be known as "Gongbao Chicken"!

A well-known brand of pickled fish has also appeared in China. On the premise that customers are happy, businesses also make a lot of money.

So, why is it that no one is willing to finish the "sauerkraut fish" that was so popular all over the internet now?

Many netizens said that these three situations drive away consumers!

1: That sense of mystery is over!

In fact, pickled fish is just like braised chicken and rice, sizzling squid, and Fujian Shaxian snacks, and can be regarded as an Internet celebrity product.

As a classic delicacy in Chongqing, it is almost impossible to taste the pure taste outside Chongqing.

Just like Lanzhou beef noodles, there are only beef noodles in Lanzhou, not beef noodles.

After many people taste it a few times, they find that it is not as delicious as they imagined, so they slowly give up.

2: The price-performance ratio is too high or too low!

For example, a well-known pickled fish brand in China sells for more than 100 yuan for a serving of two people. At the same time, many friends reported that there is still very little fish.

Adding white rice or other cold dishes will cost about 160 yuan, which is close to 80 yuan per person on average.

This is very cost-effective. It is more comfortable to eat grilled skewers or spicy hotpot than pickled fish, but it does not necessarily cost more peony.

That's one reason why customers don't want to eat.

3: The quality is getting worse day by day, and the taste is unstable!

When the pickled fish first became popular, all the fish were freshly killed. Doesn’t that taste bad?

But as the business gets better and better, in order to reduce costs, merchants freeze the fish in advance, and the customers take it out and cook it immediately after placing the order. This is definitely not as delicious as freshly killed fish!

Another thing is that carp and crucian carp are originally used to make pickled fish. In order to control costs, merchants will change to other fish, such as grouper and silver carp. You will know it after tasting it.
