Eating in winter is a big problem.In cold days, it is difficult to eat warm food.There is nothing to eat in winter, that's not right, except for summer side dishes, there are many meat dishes in winter.However, on this day of storing fat, if you eat too much greasy food, you want to eat some vegetables or something lighter. Changsha, a gourmet city, has an endless variety of dishes.In winter, eat delicacies that still plague Changsha.In addition to orthodox hotels and guesthouses, the delicacies of Changsha are mostly concentrated in the night snacks in the market.Changsha's supper is a place where young and middle-aged people gather in Changsha. On lonely nights, many people stay at a supper stall and refuse to go home.Changsha people have a very petty bourgeois personality, and they like to taste delicious food in the cold, looking for the atmosphere of the cold wind.

This year, I seldom go to restaurants.The writing friends I have accumulated over the years are all scattered this year, and it is difficult to get together for a meal.There are only two or three dead-headed people like me left in Changsha, unwilling to leave.When they come to get together with me, I always pull them to the house, cook a few small dishes by themselves, and everyone discusses around the table.After so many times, my craft has been tempered, and I can also concoct a few decent table dishes. In winter in Changsha, night snacks continue to be popular, and people in twos and threes get together to eat and drink and cultivate brotherhood.I know something about fish mouth, and I have eaten it several times, but I haven't found my favorite place and the corresponding taste.Maybe it's because those friends who have good taste are not around, I don't taste good, and I don't have much energy.A few days ago, brother Jian Zhao, who had been separated for many years, came back from Suzhou and found me. Although it was the end of the year, a few former brothers and friends who loved writing gathered together, talking casually as before.We have similar tastes, the same taste, and similar feelings towards fish mouth, so I choose to eat fish mouth in Yinpenling where I live.

Fish mouth may be an option to eat.The fish mouth refers to the mouth of a specific carp, and it is a freshly killed carp, which is cut off at the eye level.In order to save costs, some bosses make whole fish heads to pretend to be. During the production, they cut the fish heads into three or four pieces, and when they are done well, they can fill the fish's mouth.As a diner like me, if you eat a piece, you will know it is fake. Eating the mouth of carp is not to eat fish meat, nor to fill the stomach, but to eat the taste of fish mouth.Don't hold the mentality of eating a lot of food before eating, as long as you have enough taste buds.The mouth of carp is not much meat, and the bones are relatively fragmented. After a long stew, the mouth of the fish is a bit particular when eating.There is no need to gnaw or bite the mouth when eating fish. The bones of fish that have been stewed for a long time are easy to chew, but they are scum, and the taste is not tasted, and it may hurt the mouth and throat.The best way is to suck, put the whole fish mouth into the mouth, suck with the plantar air, the fish bones will naturally spread out, and all the main meat on the bones will fall into the mouth, just choose those that have not been sucked clean and suck repeatedly Or just plan and scrape carefully.Real experts and diners will not wait until it is stewed before eating it.The carp mouth just out of the pan has been fried and deep-fried, and the aroma is still on it. The skin is crispy and fragrant, and it tastes more chewy, and there is more room for aftertaste after eating.

The most difficult thing to make a fish mouth is to fry the fish skin until it is browned or deep-fried until it is light yellow.This process is mainly to remove the fishy smell, improve the fragrance, and increase the chewiness and toughness.Then boil it with water, put less ginger, garlic and other condiments to keep the original flavor of the soup.When the soup boils milky yellow, it can be served on the table.Serve in a hot pot, add raw radish strips and green chili tubes to the bottom of the pot, put the soup first, cover the fish mouth, slowly light the alcohol stove, and the fragrance of the fish mouth will come out.

The hot pot is boiling, and the smell of fish soup is wafting.The diners then roasted a blazing coal stove to drive away the cold air on their bodies, and their appetites evaporated. The skin of the fish's mouth is burnt, and the crispy taste comes out with the rising heat.After eating the fish mouth, the bones are not smooth and a bit rough, which is the effect of frying and frying.Grind it slowly with your teeth, and the rough bones will start to fall off and separate.Eating soft-boiled tofu while eating fish mouth can reduce greasy. The tofu needs to be cooled first, and by the way, some radish sticks are mixed in.The radish sticks eat oil and water, and it takes a long time to cook to taste. The umami taste of the fish's mouth is incorporated into the radish sticks.

Eat fish mouth, but also drink some soup, feel the full taste of fish mouth, naturally, you can taste the essence of deliciousness. Fish mouth, a mellow taste, requires mellow diners and great patience, as well as a savoring heart, don't be too troublesome, feel carefully, and you will find the true source of taste.
