Sauerkraut fish is a representative dish of Chongqing cuisine. It is made with fresh grass carp as the main ingredient and cooked with Sichuan kimchi. Sauerkraut fish originated from the Jiangcun fishing boat in Jiangjin, Chongqing. Sauerkraut fish is a folk home cooking in Sichuan. According to legend, the fisherman sells the big fish he caught, and often exchanges the leftover small fish with the farmers on the riverside for sauerkraut, and the fisherman cooks the sauerkraut and fresh fish in a pot. Sauerkraut fish was popular in the early 1990s.
