Hengdang Ribbonfish

Hengdang Ribbonfish

　　Ribbonfish is a type of eel that swims into brackish waters during autumn and winter in search of food, making it the perfect time for catching them. The village of Hengdang has such a water area, so the locals are skilled at capturing ribbonfish. In late autumn and early winter, you can visit Hengdang Village to try this delicacy. The flesh of ribbonfish is tender, firm, and not greasy even if eaten in large quantities. It can be stir-fried or braised with garlic, steamed, or even added to hot pot.
