Xishan Island is an island in Lake Taihu, located in Wuzhong District, Suzhou City, where there are flowers in the month, fruits in the season, fish and shrimp every day, fruits and melons all year round, and has been called the Middle of the Five since ancient times. After arriving at Taihu Public Street, you have to eat the most delicious aquatic products of Taihu Lake. To get aquatic products, you have to find the indigenous fishermen of Taihu Lake. Cai Renfeng is the owner of a local farmhouse, his father fished for a living a long time ago, and now Cai Jr. and Cai Sr. row their own fishing boats to Taihu Lake every morning to find the freshest ingredients for tourists. Today our mission is to travel along Cai and Luzhai to Taihu Lake in search of the famous Taihu 300.

Taihu Three Hundred, as its name suggests, is a trio of white materials from Lake Taihu, including white shrimp, silverfish and whitefish, and is the best time of year to catch white shrimp from May to July, when they have lots of meaty white shrimp roe and the best flavor.

Silverfish is the most expensive fish in the three hundred of Lake Taihu, but also a specialty of Lake Taihu, silverfish have no scales, no bones, no visibility, no intestines, no carrion, no fishy smell, but the biggest characteristic of this small fish is the water immediately dead, but we have the privilege of catching live silverfish. Taihu Lake whitefish white all over, the mouth of the fish up, the local people call it Lianjiao whitefish. At the time of the water belt is to adjust the tribute.

Taihu Lake 300 attaches great importance to the freshness of the material, fish and shrimp water is dying, so to eat the real Taihu Lake 300, you must be at the foot of Taihu Lake. Therefore, this is a dish that visitors to Xishan Island must order. It is said that Changzhou, Suzhou and Wuxi around Taihu Lake all have Taihu 300 as their signature dish, but the three places have different ways of serving Taihu 300. Suzhou's most authentic methods are steamed white fish, white shrimp in Zhudong and scrambled eggs with silverfish.

Tried Taihu Lake Three Hundred. Local diners have a love for another kind of food, and it's not even a dish they want to eat. That dish is a local host's handmade private dish, Yellow Stripe Lake Eel, for which Yellow Stripe has won awards.

In addition to the Huangzorin Lake Eel, the watermarked species of Lake Taihu and four-leafed vegetables are also in season, and peach soup is a local food that has been passed down for many years.
