Characteristics of osmanthus fish dishes;

According to legend, more than 200 years ago, fishermen along the Yangtze River used wooden barrels to transport mandarin fish, a valuable aquatic product from the Yangtze River, to Huizhou Mountain for sale every winter. On the way, they often turn it up and down to prevent the fresh fish from going bad. After seven or eight days in Huizhou, the cheeks were still red, the scales did not peel off, and the quality did not change. It was just that the epidermis exuded a special smell that seemed stinky, but it was not smelly. However, after washing, it is slightly fried in hot oil and cooked with low fire, which is not only odorless, but also delicious, and continues to be a well-known delicacy, and it still enjoys a high reputation.
