The thrush is used to be called lè fish, while it is used to be called "kuài fish" and "white scale fish" in the north. Mainly produced in China's Yellow Sea, East China Sea and other coastal areas. The shark's body is generally about 40 cm long, silvery white and flat on its side.
The origin of the name "shrimp roe owl" is circulated among the people. This article is slightly revised:
There is a Shangtang Street in Suzhou, which used to be a place where salted fish and meat were bought and sold centrally. Among them, there is a salted fish shop named Xinglong, whose boss is Wang. Because the business foundation is weak, the business can't be done in big stores, so it loses money every year.
Boss Wang is dejected and despondent, and often goes to the Owl Temple in Pishi Street to burn incense and worship Buddha, praying for the blessing of Bodhisattva, so as to make a profit. Although he spent a lot of money on incense, his business was always sluggish. After two years, seeing that the fish shop was about to close down, the boss was angry and anxious and fell ill in bed.
One day, a relative came to visit him and gave him two bottles of shrimp seed soy sauce. He said to him, "This is cooked with fu you and shrimp seeds. It tastes delicious and is for your appetizer." Boss Wang thought: Fuyou is the top grade in soy sauce, and the shrimp seeds are delicious, not to mention that when the two things are combined, they can naturally stimulate the appetite.
He opened the bottle, tasted it, said it was good, and repeatedly praised the guests for their good brains in making this condiment. At this time, the guest advised him, "The salted fish you sell is always the same year after year. No wonder it is not popular with customers. I see you, it's better to ask God than yourself. Why don't you use your head, turn over the tricks and do business? "
Boss Wang sighed and said, "Well, I've thought about this, but you can't cook squid with shrimp seeds!" " The guest said, "Why not? Shrimp seed soy sauce tastes fresh, and shrimp seed squid will not be bad. If you are happy to try, I am willing to help you. "
So, the two men discussed the business of doing shrimp roe fish together. After Mr. Wang recovered from his illness, he chose the best shark, boiled it with ginger, sugar and oil, and coated the surface with shrimp seeds from Huang Cancan. It was really salty and palatable, and had a unique flavor. On the birthday of Buddha King Owl, Boss Wang cooked a lot of shrimp-seed owls carefully, put them in a big wooden tray, and folded them into a "Owl Mountain" with a big red note hanging on it, which read "Refined shrimp-seed owls from Xinglong Salted Fish Shop in Shangtang Street, and present them to Master Owl".
The delicious taste of this plate of shrimp roe is more than that of sandalwood in the temple. As soon as it was served, it immediately attracted many pilgrims. People are talking about it, and their mouths are hanging on their feet. The next day, as soon as Boss Wang's salted fish shop opened, it was immediately crowded with customers, vying to buy shrimp roe. You are a catty, I am a catty, and I will soon sell out some old goods. Since then, the reputation of Xinglong salted fish shop has spread. More and more people come here to try early adopters. The business of Xinglong salted fish shop is booming, not only paying off debts quickly, but also making a lot of money.
After the death of boss Wang, a master in the shop was hired by the owner of the "Ye Shouhe" tea shop in Guanqian Street. Since then, this delicious squid has been transferred to tea and candy shops such as Daoxiang Village and Caizhizhai, and through continuous improvement of skills, shrimp-seeded squid has become better and better, becoming a unique traditional food in Suzhou.
