Secret five-spice smoked fish

Overview

Fish has always been my favorite dish. Although this dish is called smoked fish, it is not made by smoking, but it is equally delicious. After the fish is soaked in the juice, the outside is crispy but the inside is very soft and tender. Worth a try. The longer it is soaked, the easier it is to absorb the flavor. Smoked fish is an authentic traditional Jiangnan delicacy. This traditional cold dish will be served on New Year’s tables in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. Served with a variety of natural spices, it is first fried and then soaked and made entirely by hand. Smoked fish tastes sweet, as sweet as Wu Nong's soft words, sweet yet salty, salty yet fresh. It can be eaten cold or added to soup for seasoning. It is amber in appearance, mellow in taste, soft and dense in the mouth, crispy and sweet.
