Story of Stinky Mandarin Fish:

It is said that more than 211 years ago, fishmongers in Guichi, Tongling, Datong and other places along the Yangtze River shipped Yangtze Mandarin Fish to Huizhou mountainous area in winter every year, because it took seven or eight days to get to Tunxi, in order to prevent fresh fish from deteriorating.

When the fishmonger puts a bucket, a layer of fish is sprinkled with a layer of light salt water, and it is often turned up and down: when the fish arrives in Huizhou, the gills are still red, the scales are not peeled off, and the quality is unchanged, but the skin emits an odor. After washing, it is slightly fried in hot oil and cooked with low fire, and the odor is completely eliminated, making it extremely delicious and becoming a well-known delicacy.
