Haijiao Fish

　　Binchuan Haijiao Fish gets its name from its place of origin—the Haijiao Reservoir in Qiaodian Town. It is made using local water sources and locally sourced fish (primarily silver carp), crafted with exquisite techniques, resulting in a delicious and fragrant taste. It is prepared in two styles: spicy and clear broth, to cater to different palates.

In addition to the cooking methods, a spicy dipping sauce must also be prepared before eating the Haijiao Fish. This sauce is made by mixing ingredients such as chili, ground Sichuan peppercorn, an appropriate amount of salt, and chopped garlic. The mixture is stir-fried and then poured over with boiling fragrant oil, producing a crisp sizzling sound. While still bubbling, it is served to each customer in a small portion to be used as a dip for the fish. This adds a rich, aromatic, spicy, sweet-and-sour flavor that leaves a memorable aftertaste.
