Crucian carp segments with distiller’s grains

Overview

My husband's friend came from Nanjing and brought a crucian carp weighing more than 3 pounds, saying it was a crucian carp from across the river in Changzhou. The largest crucian carp we have here is just over 1 kilogram, and this one is really big - cut off the head and tail of the crucian carp and stew it in frozen tofu soup, and braise the middle part with wine lees. This is my husband's favorite dish to go with wine.
