Stir-fried No-Six Fish

Last updated 2026-11-16 — Stir-fried No-Six Fish is a traditional folk dish from the Pingguo County area in Guangxi. The No-Six Fish Cave is connected to an underground river. Because the underground river passage is quite narrow, fish weighing more than six catties (approximately three kilograms) cannot pass through, hence the name “No-Six Fish.” This type of fish is not produced in large quantities, but when frying it, no oil is needed—just clean and place the fish in the pan. Gradually, oil seeps out from the fish’s own body, and it is cooked using this natural oil. The aroma of the fish spreads far and wide, leading to the saying, “When one family fries the fish, a hundred homes smell its fragrance.” Its flavor is fragrant and sweet.
