In Weihai, when the rain arrives, fresh spring Spanish mackerel is on the market. There is a custom that son-in-law sends Spanish mackerel to his mother-in-law and mother-in-law. Therefore, in this solar term every spring, the value of fresh mackerel is always doubled. The son-in-law, regardless of his seniority, will buy some fresh mackerel to the father-in-law’s mother-in-law’s house. Those who have not yet become regular son-in-laws will be more active, buying fresh and big spring mackerel to the father-in-law’s door. There is a common saying that "Bayu jumps and the husband laughs".
In the custom, the key to sending Bayu is to highlight the word "morning", so as to reflect the importance of the younger generation. As a result, when Bayu just came down, there was often a situation in which the supply exceeded demand, and the price increased significantly. In fact, Bayu is not just a gift to his father-in-law. The younger generations must give it to the elderly. Especially now that life is good, the old people do not lack a Bayu, which conveys a kind of affection, a kind of respect and respect for the elderly. Fashion.
Spanish mackerel is naturally a delicacy in my memory. When I was young, although material was scarce, I still remembered the deliciousness of spring mackerel stewed with garlic sprouts. At that time, there were no off-season vegetables. Naturally, there is such a delicious taste. Now many seafood restaurants in Weihai still retain this traditional folk way of eating, which is very cordial. The meat of Spanish mackerel is very tender, with few spines, and it tastes full of flavour, worthy of aftertaste. As for the way of eating, there are many ways to eat. They can be wrapped into mackerel dumplings, boiled mackerel balls, braised rice crackers, smoked mackerel, braised mackerel, etc. These can be regarded as local famous foods in Weihai. During the Spring Festival when I was young, the vegetable shop would serve frozen Spanish mackerel. Spanish mackerel is the best choice for smoked fish. So when I was young, my family would make a little bit of smoked mackerel every Spring Festival, which became an indispensable part of my childhood taste memories.
To say that it is delicious, it also needs fresh Spanish mackerel. Before and after the rain, when Spanish mackerel is newly launched, boiled meatballs and dumplings are good choices. To make Spanish mackerel meatballs, you need to chop the mackerel meat very finely. Place it in a basin and slowly add green onion, ginger, and pepper water. Stir vigorously in one direction, and then add the chopped minced meat and seasoning. The pepper noodles are necessary. Add water to the pot and bring it to a boil. After the balls are cooked, add salt, vinegar, pepper, coriander and so on. The tender and soft bay fish balls are always one of the temptations of this season. The fillings of Tiao Bayu dumplings are also very technical, which is similar to making Bayu dumplings. Fatty meat is necessary. There is also a method called "Yiluxian", which is to cut the spaniel along the back, take out the internal organs and put a little bit of salt, let it dry for a day or two, cut into sections, fried and eaten, steamed and eaten is good, it is also delicious in the world. .
Spanish mackerel is not only found in Shandong, but from south to north. When it reaches the south, it is called mackerel, which is actually what we call mackerel. Now is the time when Bayu is on the market, but don’t forget to buy a Bayu as a taster for the elderly. More important than appetite is a kind of memory and emotion. Hundreds of filial piety comes first, and filial piety to the elderly is the most important thing. Can't wait. "
