　　　The steamed catfish with rice flour from Xiaoxi is truly exceptional, celebrated for its perfect color, aroma, and taste. It’s a must-try delicacy for visitors to the ancient town of Xiaoxi.

　　The fish is sliced into strips, mixed with rice flour seasoned with chili powder, Sichuan pepper powder, minced ginger, and then steamed. Before serving, it’s drizzled with sesame oil and sprinkled with chopped scallions. Steamed silver carp is rich, tender, and boneless, offering a unique flavor and excellent texture. Nowadays, many restaurants in the urban area serve this dish to attract customers, but compared to the wild silver carp from the Ba River, they still fall slightly short.
