For the New Year's reunion dinner, you can not only make local traditional home dishes, but also some traditional famous dishes from other places that your family likes. One of the local dishes that my family must make during the Chinese New Year is the fish head with chopped pepper, which means good luck. The hot red chopped peppers are covered with white and tender fish heads, with a hot and fragrant aroma. The deliciousness of the fish heads and the spicyness of the chopped peppers blend together, which is really unique.
This dish is both my father's favorite and my mother's best. In fact, my mother never eats river fish, she is not used to it, but because it is her father's favorite dish, she has carefully studied and tried it many times, and now it has become her specialty.
When my father was young, he often went to the south to sell Shandong apples, often for more than ten days. He always said that he is not used to food from other places, but his favorite is Xiangtan's famous dish Chopped Chili Fish Head. This dish bears too much of his hardships and gains in starting a business when he was young.
My mother’s favorite for making chopped pepper fish head is the silver carp from Mishan Reservoir here. The Mishan Reservoir is the largest reservoir in Weihai City, and is also the water source of Weihai City. The water quality is very good. The silver carp and carp growing there are the most famous. The meat is tender and has no sludge smell. Mom has two coups to make this dish absolutely easy to use, one is to fry the chopped pepper sauce first, and the other is to use vinegar to smear the fish head to remove the fishy. When making this dish, most people often add a little salt and cooking wine to pickle it to remove the fishy. In fact, the effect of this method is not ideal, and the mother uses vinegar to pickle it more scientifically and effectively.
I have made a lot of chopped peppers this year, and I use my own homemade chopped peppers to make this dish. The taste of chopped peppers penetrates into the fish meat. The fish head is waxy and soft, fat but not greasy, salty and slightly spicy, and tender in the mouth. Jingying, with a gentle and spicy flavor, makes people have to love it!
