Pan-fried Yellow Crucian Carp

　　Pan-fried Yellow Crucian Carp. The "edge crucian carp" is a variant of the common crucian carp. Unlike the ordinary variety, one side of its body is bluish-white while the other is scorched yellow, as if it had been pan-fried in a skillet. It tastes richer and fresher than the regular crucian carp. Naturally, its price is many times higher. As for the origin of this fish, legend has it that it shares a similar tale with the No-Tail Stone Snail. In the old days, the Fairy Zhen placed the carp in a pan to fry it while someone else was shelling stone snails nearby. When “Fat Dog” arrived, the fairy left, and both the fish and the snails returned to the water, thus becoming one of the celestial wonders of Zhen Mountain.
