2. Fried smoked fish: In the port city of Dalian, every delicacy carries the mark of history, and fried smoked fish is one of the shining pearls.

Once, I was searching for this traditional delicacy along the alleys of the old city, and it became an unforgettable exploration of Dalian's taste buds.

Dalian's fried smoked fish is a delicacy that combines traditional cooking techniques with creative presentation.

First of all, fresh sea fish is selected. After careful cleaning, the fish body is cut into uniform pieces to ensure the tenderness of the fish.

The fish pieces are then lightly coated in a thin layer of starch, creating a golden, crispy coating for frying.

Then, the fish pieces will be quietly transformed in the oil at a moderate temperature, and after a short period of frying, they will be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

What makes fried smoked fish unique is the smoking step, which is key to giving the dish its deep flavor.

During the smoking process, Dalian's characteristic charcoal is ignited and emits a light smoke. In the smoked environment, the fish gradually absorbs the unique aroma and becomes more delicious.

When the aroma of smoke blends into the fish, fried smoked fish shows its unique charm, mixing the deliciousness of seafood and the complex taste of smoke.

Dalian people are full of praise for this delicacy.

A local resident said with a smile: "Every time I eat the aroma of fried and smoked fish, I seem to be back at the seaside. This is the taste of Dalian!" Another diner also praised: "The fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, smoky.

The aroma is even more appetizing. "If you come to Dalian and want to taste authentic fried smoked fish, you might as well go to "Haigang Food Court", a restaurant in the city center that is very popular among diners.

The address is located at No. 88 Haibin Road, Xigang District, with convenient transportation and incomparable sea views.

The price per person is about 100 yuan. Although it is not cheap, it is definitely worth the money.

In short, Dalian fried smoked fish is a unique dish that combines delicious seafood and smoky flavor. It not only represents the food culture of Dalian, but also makes people feel the strong seaside feelings every time they taste it.

Both local residents and tourists from afar will be fascinated by this delicacy and impressed by the unique flavor of this city.
