There is a 30-year-old alley called Chubao Alley opposite Wuhan’s oldest commercial public paradise. From the end of the alley to the end of the alley are all small yellow croakers. The reason is that a large number of refugees from Zhejiang gathered here during the Anti-Japanese War. So the Zhejiang-flavored yellow croaker has derived the Wuhan style here. This year, this small street was completely demolished. I can't find the taste in my memory anymore.

Fortunately, my dad still remembers the taste of his hometown when he was a child and taught me to cook this most authentic Zhejiang side dish.
