Tuotuo Fish

Tuotuo Fish

　　This dish uses high-quality carp or grass carp from the Anning River. The fish is first cut into chunks, marinated with salt, cooking wine, ginger, and scallions, then coated in a starchy batter and deep-fried over gentle heat. It is simmered over low heat to absorb the flavors, then the sauce is reduced over high heat to thicken. The finished dish has a bright red color, tender fish meat, and a flavor that is salty, spicy, and savory all at once — a classic home-style taste. It enjoys great popularity in the Liangshan region and along the Liangshan section of National Highway 108, and is deeply loved by consumers.
