Beer Fish (Pijiu Yu)-typical food of Yangshuo

Both the materials and cooking method of Pijiu Yu are well managed. The chose fish mainly weights 1 to 1.5 kilograms and the wild carp and Mandarin fish are good choices. Cut the fish into two halfs without scraping the scales first and then fried the fish till it turns golden on both sides and the scales roll up while the shape of fish is still well-preserved. Then put the cooked garnishes in the pot and cook the fried fish and garnishes with Liquan Beer (the beer is used as water) until only 20% of soup is left (to have the soup with rice is also quite delicious). The key point to make Beer Fish is the heat control: use high heat first and then low heat until the fish turns yellow gradually and becomes several big pieces.

 

Finally, it's time to taste the legendary Beer Fish (Pijiu Yu). The scales of fish are still connected after cooking. Grasping one piece of fish with chopsticks, you can see the white, fresh and tender meat under the scales, which taste tender and delicious. And you can not get enough of it!
