Fish Porridge

Last updated 2026-11-10 — Fish Porridge Guangdong is a coastal province with many rivers, and locals love seafood and freshwater fish. Their fish dishes are truly exceptional, though cooking methods vary from place to place. At the intersection of Dongxing Middle Road and Shuguang Road in Changsha Town, Kaiping, there’s a row of food stalls called Fish Porridge that only open at night. Tables and chairs are lined up along the street, and the place is incredibly popular. Here, the fish is served two ways: the flesh is shredded and cooked in a clay pot with rice porridge, while the bones are steamed and enjoyed on their own. The porridge is rich and delicious. Also recommended is the blanched pork intestine—tender and flavorful—paired with steamed rice rolls with spare ribs and a side of seasonal vegetables, making for a heavenly meal.
