Are frogs edible?

Tucked away in the alleys of old residential buildings on Nine Streets are a number of tasty little stores known only to Chongqing gourmets, which from the outside look no different from the fly taverns on the streets. If I hadn't been introduced to them, I probably wouldn't have given them a second glance even if I had walked by.

Frog Married Shrimp, I know these three words, together make people puzzled, the sign in front of the store reads "better than the next door General Cai". You know, the old hot pot is the top spot on Ninth Street, and I have to wait in line every time I go to eat there, so this place is too big for its britches.

My friend didn't think so, and strongly recommended that we try it. He even enthusiastically made a reservation for us, and solemnly told us, "This restaurant is so hot that if you don't make a reservation in advance, you won't be able to eat it, and the owner won't even let you in the door!" I felt sure he had added fuel to the fire in that statement.

Walking into the store, there are retro decorations everywhere, old radios, blue glass vases, red kettles, even the switches and sockets on the wall are from the 80s and 90s, and the tourists also found that the construction of the store is very strange, there is no hall and private rooms, the restaurant's construction looks like a residential building remodeled into.

The store a **** only 4 tables, because someone's birthday package, inside the 3 tables are full, my friend booked in advance to fight to the outside of a small table, we are just 4 people.

Because it is the first time to come, we do not know what are the specialties, let the boss in accordance with the portion size of 4 people to arrange for us, probably waited for about 20 minutes, only to see the true face of the dishes.

Just so a big pot, and usually eat fish hot pot is no different, pepper and chili pepper dense, smell a paste fragrance. The ingredients in the pot are very simple, mainly frogs and ratfish, with some lotus root slices, camomile, potatoes and other vegetables.

You Pin grew up in so big, or the first time in Chongqing to eat frogs, are limited daily from the farm over. Frogs are very small, meat and bones 50/50, eat like chewing duck necks, chicken claws, if you guys really like the feeling of chewing, you will love to eat frogs.

According to the menu on the wall, the frogs at this restaurant are 68 yuan a catty, and the regular American froglets are 38 yuan a catty, so you can see from the price how precious they are. The ratfish and mudskipper are both 78 yuan, a price that is considered expensive in Chongqing. The fish is very tasty and the meat is very tender, definitely fresh from the day.

The overall flavor is spicy, but the numbness and spiciness are very well-balanced, the numbness is slightly heavier than the spiciness, which can bring you some excitement, but not too much for you to accept, and such a flavor is really rare in Chongqing.

After a while, the boss put a shelf on top of the table and brought up a new pot of food. This is the first time you have seen this kind of food, and the owner explained to us, "Our store is called 'frog married shrimp', which is a frog with shrimp on top."

Shrimp in the form of ordinary spicy hot pot, shrimp to go to the shrimp line to eat easier, because the use of lantern peppers, the flavor than the following frog to be a little spicy, the flavor is also more heavy, very down. And the shrimp is very large, the shrimp meat tastes very Q-bomb, very fresh.

In addition to these two pots of the main dishes, the owner also recommended us two specialties, Lao Liu mouth-watering chicken and secret rake chicken claws.

The spit chicken was 68 yuan a serving, a large portion, and the meat of the spit chicken was very tender and excellent to eat than what you would normally find in a Chongqing restaurant. The seasoning is the store's homemade oil chili, which is battered and aromatic, and the combination is nearly perfect, just not quite cost-effective, so Yupin gave the spit-roasted chicken a score of 8 (out of 10).

The chicken claws are 32 yuan a serving, which is a bit more cost-effective compared to the spit-roasted chicken. The chicken claws were very tempting to sell, with a bright red color, and actually didn't taste as spicy as one would expect, still dominated by the briny flavor. As the name of the dish suggests, the chicken claws were so soft and sticky that they melted away with a gentle sip.

We ate for 2 hours before the meal was over, and we couldn't even finish it.

Overall, the quality of the food at this restaurant is relatively high, and it can be ranked among the top of the list of Jianghu cuisine restaurants in Chongqing. The flavor is of medium to high level, which will not give you a bright feeling when you eat it, but will surely be recalled afterwards, making you want to eat it again.

100 RMB per person is not cheap, but it's worth it for treats and get-togethers, and it's sure to be an eye-opener for your friends.
