Golden thread fish rice

Overview

Many outsiders may easily misunderstand the word "fish rice" when they first hear it, thinking that it is a meal made of fish and rice. Not really. Fish rice is mostly cooked with fresh sea fish. Currently, the best fish rice in Chaoshan area comes from waterlogging, that is, it is just transported in along the high tide. The freshest and most delicious fish rice is produced in Dahao. Dahao's fish boats go fishing at night, mostly offshore. The fish caught are sorted and put into specially made small fish baskets. One basket can hold seven or eight kilograms of fish. There are people in the boat who cook the fish. In the past, charcoal was used. Stoves are all gas stoves now, and fish are cooked in large earthenware bowls. Just use sea water. There is no need to put salt in the water. After the water is boiled, a basket of fish is put into the bowl to cook. After cooking, the whole basket of fish is placed on the deck to blow the sea breeze. After the boat docks at dawn, the fish rice will be ready for the market immediately. The appearance of fresh and high-quality fish rice is shiny and the fish body is firm and straight. If you press the fish body slightly with your hands, the fish meat will feel solid. The meat of fish rice is white in color, and its preparation method is similar to that of white-chopped chicken, so it can well retain the original freshness and sweetness of the fish meat. However, the fish rice cooked with fresh fish tastes a hundred times more delicious than chicken. Fish rice is cheap and is considered a home-cooked dish in every household in the Chaoshan area.
