Jingzhou fish cakes
Fish cakes, as The eight famous dishes in the Jingzhou/Shashi area have a long history. During the Warring States Period 2,000 years ago, the capital of the Chu State was five kilometers north of today's Jingzhou. Many Chu people like to eat fish, so fish dishes in Kyoto are extremely abundant. One of the fish restaurants is doing very well, and the owner has a fish pond exclusively for his fish, so he can attract diners with fresh fish. One summer, business suddenly became slow. There were too many fresh fish in the pond, but many of them died. The shopkeeper couldn't bear to throw it away, so he simply took it out, removed the thorns, washed away the stains, chopped it into minced meat, and added tofu and egg white to make cakes. Then sprinkle with white wine to remove the fishy smell, put it into a basket and steam it. After steaming, the smell of fish fills the kitchen. The boss was happy and asked the kitchen workers to cut the fish cakes into pieces the next day, pour various condiments on them and steam them. It was put for sale at the door and was snatched up by diners. From then on, this fish restaurant specialized in specialty fish cakes and made a fortune. During the production, the chefs continued to improve, and the quality became better and better. It was so famous in the capital that even the emperor's relatives sent people to buy it. The "Jingzhou fish cake" passed down from generation to generation is made of white fish meat. It is crystal white, extremely fragrant, and has a Chudi flavor. Later generations also used red fish meat to fry fish balls and stewed chicken, pork kidneys and pork belly, which became a famous banquet dish in Jingzhou.
