　　Fuzihe fish noodles, commonly known as "chuiyu (hammered fish)," are a traditional specialty food of Fuzihe Town with a history of over a thousand years. Made primarily from fresh fish, refined sweet potato starch, and salt using traditional handmade methods, they offer health benefits such as improving brain function, lowering blood pressure, and preventing coronary heart disease. With their fragrant aroma, delicious taste, and tender texture, these low-cholesterol, all-natural, green, and nutritious noodles are an essential delicacy for festivals, family banquets, and a premium gift choice in Fuzihe and surrounding counties. In June 2006, Fuzihe fish noodles were included in the intangible cultural heritage of Macheng City as a traditional handicraft technique. In November 2008, they won the gold award at the Wuhan National Food Expo. In November 2009, they were rated as the most satisfactory agricultural product by consumers in the first Macheng City Consumer Favorite Merchants Evaluation. In 2011, Fuzihe fish noodles received the title of Well-Known Trademark in Huanggang City. To date, the town has six specialized fish noodle processing villages with over 500 processing households, including more than 100 that process over 5,000 kilograms per year. The town produces approximately 2.5 million kilograms of fish noodles annually, with an output value exceeding 100 million yuan. The town is focused on building an "agricultural ecological industrial park" and successfully introduced local businesswoman Xiao Li to invest in constructing a modern fish noodle processing factory in May this year. Currently, the first phase of the steel-frame factory has been completed, with an expected annual output value of over 20 million yuan by the end of the year. The entire project covers 50 acres, with a total investment of 38 million yuan, to be developed in three phases and aims for an annual production of over 5 million kilograms. Modern food processing equipment has been introduced for scaled production. Once fully operational, the output value of fish noodles in the town is expected to double, reaching 200 million yuan annually.
