　　Yuecong Fish Pudding is a traditional delicacy from Yuecong Market in Yuecong County. Locals often serve fish pudding to guests at banquets and celebrations. Dishes made with fish pudding—such as braised fish pudding with mushrooms and oyster sauce, fish pudding pot with chive tips in superior broth, lettuce-wrapped fish pudding, and hot pot fish pudding—are all banquet favorites. It features a golden color, rich aroma, and delicious taste.

　　Ingredients: 500 grams of skinned mud carp fillet, 6 eggs, 10 grams of salt, 75 grams of cornstarch, 250 grams of water.

　　Method:

　　1. First, scrape the mud carp fillet into a paste using a knife (if using a meat grinder, grind it two or three times).

　　2. Mix the cornstarch with water to dilute it, and beat the eggs after removing the shells.

　　3. Beat the fish paste with salt until it becomes sticky and elastic. Gradually add the diluted cornstarch mixture (a little at a time) into the fish paste while stirring continuously. Then, add the beaten egg in the same manner and stir well.

　　4. Heat oil in a pan, use a spoon to drop the mixture into the pan, and slowly deep-fry over low heat until cooked. Remove and place on a serving dish.
