【Cold fish】

Overview

Cold fish is the favorite of people in Luzhou, Sichuan. At night, every food stall has cold fish and wind-blown pork ribs. The traditional method is to soak it in bone soup over low heat. Some people like to use pickled cabbage soup. I used to soak it, but later I found that steaming it made the fish more tender and refreshing, with more original flavor
