Pan-fried Noodle Fish Cake

When I grew up by the sea, I heard and witnessed the scene of my father and villagers fishing. In the early days, fishing tools were outdated, and three fishing methods were usually used: thinning nets, far-reaching nets, and hanging subnets. Pulling thin nets and hitting far nets both need to wait until the rain temperature rises and hundreds of fish come ashore before going to the sea. Only the subnets are set up, and the prongs are used before the Spring Festival to prepare for the netting. The long bamboo poles are driven into the surging sea, the nets are dense like mosquito nets, woven into long trumpet-shaped bags, and the objects of salvage are mainly small shrimps that are as small as mosquitoes. After the Spring Festival, as soon as the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, you can eat the first batch of seafood they harvest. Judging from the seafood salvaged, there are always more noodles and fish. Some of these fish are singly put into the net, and some are picked from the prawns. Just remember that the noodle fish is short and short, less than three inches long. The fish body is soft and transparent, with only two eyes and a few rows of small dots, which is eye-catching. It is called noodle fish because it is served in a bowl and is no different from piled white noodles. Use it to stew tofu, hook eggs, and cook purely, no matter what the way it is eaten, it is very delicious.
The finest early seafood called peach blossom prawns (small crustacean prawns) can only be marketed after Gu Yu, thin nets and far nets. Therefore, speaking of the first fresh after the spring, only noodle fish dominates.
I don’t know how many seafood I have eaten, but I have never had it before, but it can rival the noodle fish that is the first freshest in spring. Noodle fish is the common name of Weihai, Baidu also called whitebait, the whitebait that can be seen locally, the full name is "Yangtze River Silverfish", "Compendium of Materia Medica" gives this definition: "Yangtze River Silverfish is also called Short-snout whitebait, belonging to Salmonoides, whitebait family, genus of whitebait.
