Yellow croaker soup is a Ningbo dish. According to my grandfather, it is "Ala Ningbo people", which is the hardest dish that Ningbo people can get their hands on.
The main ingredient of the soup yellow croaker is the big yellow croaker, of course, the small yellow croaker is also OK, but the appearance is not as good as the big yellow croaker; the ingredients are snow lily, ginger garlic and shallots. The method is quite simple, fry the yellow fish in oil, put ginger and garlic, put the cooking oil, put the snow in the red, heat the water, heat the water to make the soup thick and white. After rolling through, add the green onion to the pan.
Big soup yellow fish, fish meat white into the taste, fish soup sour and delicious, after eating fish meat, take the soup to make rice, you can eat several bowls in one breath, yu touched the stomach and reluctant to put down the chopsticks.
Generally, when cooking large soup of yellow fish, it is a big day, such as the Mid-Autumn Festival, the New Year, such as whose birthday. When I was a child, yellow fish was not easy to buy, and my grandmother had to run to the old town of Yuhang, sometimes not necessarily, and I went to know more about selling fish, and sometimes I would stay.
The yellow fish bought back, the first thing is to scale the belly, the yellow fish in addition to these key points but also to tear a piece of skin on the head of the fish, because Grandma said that the skin is the most fishy, keep burning up there will be a fishy smell.
Now whenever I cut the yellow fish, I remember what my grandmother said and tear the skin of the fish.
Food is an attitude to life. My grandfather and grandmother came from the bustling big city to the countryside of Yuhang, and the living environment has undergone great changes, although the situation is unexpected, but they are like bamboo shoots at the door can always flourish.
