Guangdong, which is rich in products, always attracts foodies. Even those who were not so particular about food before have become "food appreciators" after arriving in Guangdong. This is enough to show that Guangdong is a There are so many delicious foods hidden in the land, it is simply a gourmet paradise.
Guangdong, which is surrounded by mountains and seas, has never been short of food. In addition to Guangzhou, the Chaoshan region is also famous throughout the country. When you see the word "Chaoshan", everyone knows that this place is very close to the sea, so most of the daily meals are related to seafood. What you eat is fresh seafood, and you pay attention to the original taste of the ingredients.
In Chaoshan, there is a peculiar fish whose local name is "chicken leg fish". Chaoshan people say, "Buy chicken legs and put them on a fish tripod." The "chicken legs" here must refer to chicken leg fish. As long as you have lived in Chaoshan for a period of time, you must have heard of the name of drumstick fish, so there should be no Chaoshan people who don’t know this fish, right?
The scientific name of drumstick fish is horseshoe tench. The reason why it is called drumstick is because this fish has a long and thin inverted triangle shape with very few bones and only one big fish bone in the middle. If you fry the fish, you can even grab it by the tail and eat it like a chicken drumstick.
Strictly speaking, the common name of drumstick fish was given by the people of Shanwei. In Haimen, this kind of fish is called bird swallow. Due to the large output of this fish, it is relatively common in markets in Chaoshan and even Hainan, and the price is not expensive. People who like it often buy it and cook it at home.
One characteristic of chicken drumstick fish is that after it is cooked, the soup will be fishy and the meat will be fresh. You can only eat fish meat. If you cook the soup, the fish soup will not taste good. Therefore, Chaoshan people do not go into the water when cooking chicken legs and fish, but use the "fish tripod" method to cook chicken legs and fish. The fish produced in this way is extremely delicious and firm.
Tieyuding is actually braised fish. First remove all the scales and internal organs of the drumstick fish, clean it, then use kitchen paper to absorb the water inside and outside the drumstick fish, then sprinkle a small amount of salt and marinate for 15 minutes to allow the salt to enter the fish body and lift it. The effect of freshness.
Put oil in the pot, add onion and ginger, cut the onion and ginger into large pieces so as to cover the entire bottom of the pot. After spreading large pieces of green onions and large pieces of ginger on the bottom of the pot, place the chicken legs and fish on top of the green onions and ginger, one by one, then cover the lid and simmer over low to medium heat for six minutes.
When you open the lid of the pot and see that the fish skin of the chicken legs has burst open, revealing the white fish meat inside, it means that the chicken legs and fish have been cooked. It tastes particularly delicious because there is no soup and the fishy smell has been covered up by the aroma of onion and ginger. No extra seasoning is needed. It is already very delicious.
Chaoshan people call it drumstick fish, and Haimen people call it bird swallow. In fact, you can also see this kind of fish in wet markets in Hainan, Chongqing and other places. I don’t know what the name of this fish is in your hometown. ?
