This afternoon, our whole family took a van to the historical city of Liyang. We went to Tianmu Lake International Hotel and tasted Tianmu Lake’s famous dish - casserole fish head soup.
The waiter holds a large fish-shaped casserole with both hands, asks the guest to open the seal, open the lid, and sprinkle a handful of coriander. Wow! I was intoxicated by the smell of fish. Looking for the scent, I saw a gray silver carp head of nearly 20 cm lying quietly in a casserole. Dots of coriander around it added a charming green color to the milky white fish soup in the casserole, which whetted my appetite. .
When I took my first sip of fish soup, my mouth was filled with the refreshing aroma of fish. When I took the second sip, I felt it was even more delicious, without any fishy smell. Then pick up a piece of meat from the fish head, put it in your mouth, and taste it carefully. It is fat, smooth, and not greasy at all. A unique fragrance flows from your mouth to your stomach.
The deliciousness of this casserole fish head soup comes from the water of Tianmu Lake. The hard-working and intelligent people of Liyang carefully protect the beautiful mountains and waters of Tianmu Lake, so that the lake water has always maintained the national Grade II A standard. The nearly 80,000 kilograms of wild gray silver carp abundant in the lake have no pollution and can be called natural green food. And because the bottom of Tianmu Lake is made of sand and gravel without silt, the silver carp head soup made by simmering Tianmu Lake water over a slow fire for a long time does not have the slightest earthy smell. Fresh but not fishy, ??fat but not greasy, milky white soup, original flavor are the unique characteristics of the fish head soup here.
This delicious casserole fish head soup is not only delicious, but also good for physical and mental health. There is a popular folk song here: "A child who drinks fish head soup will have a bright mind; a lady who drinks fish head soup will have white and beautiful skin; a gentleman who drinks fish head soup will have a broader mind."
