dried young anchovies

　　Dried young anchovies, also known as "sea elegance," are caught in the clear waters around Yushan Islands. With a fishing history of over 200 years, they are regarded as a delicacy of the sea and have long enjoyed a great reputation. These anchovies are known for their delicious taste and white color, and can be used in soups, scrambled eggs, stir-fries, or mixed with pickled vegetables.

　　　　In the Qing Dynasty, poet Li Yesi referred to them as "sea salt," and wrote in a poem: "A bottle of crab shell with pure yellow sauce, a thousand chopsticks of fish head with fine sea salt."
