【Northeast】Demoli fish stew

Overview

Demoli fish stew is a specialty of Northeast China with a history of more than 100 years. The word Demoli is the transliteration of Russian and it comes from Demoli village in Yihantong Township, Fangzheng County, Heilongjiang Province. Since this village is close to the Songhua River in the north, the villagers here mainly rely on fishing to make a living. Demoli fish stew is a special dish of the village and has been passed down to this day for a long time. Its main ingredient is three-skinned fish. I live in Guangzhou and don’t have three-skinned fish, so I bought a catfish. The body of the fish was too long to fit in the non-stick pan, and I was reluctant to cut it off. As a result, the fish tail stuck to the edge of the pan. Although it was a bit depressing, the taste was still delicious!
