Boiled fish is a dish invented by people living in Bashu area, and it was first popular in Sichuan area (including now Chongqing City). The seemingly primitive method, but the actual workmanship is exquisite. It is necessary to choose fresh live fish, and give full play to the effects of chilli warming, nourishing qi and nourishing blood. The cooked meat will not become tough at all, and the taste will be smooth, oily and not greasy. It not only removes the fishy smell, but also keeps the fish fresh and tender. The red pepper is eye-catching, spicy but not dry, numb but not bitter. "Hemp on top, spicy and enjoyable" makes boiled fish popular all over the country (Baidu).
As a northerner, my family also likes this prosperous practice, especially making such a bright boiled fish during the New Year, which is both delicious and beautiful. But my family is not particularly able to eat spicy food, so I made some adjustments and made a slightly spicy and less oily boiled fish suitable for my family.

Tips:

Windy sunny day:
1. It is best to choose fresh black fish, which has tight meat and few bones;
2. If you like spicy food, you can add chili to fry the chili oil before frying the Pixian bean paste, and then fry the bean paste;
3. The soup for the base material should be added according to the amount of fish and side dishes. Don't put too much. After cooking, you can add salt to taste according to personal taste;
4. The side dishes can be put according to your preference, you can also put soybean sprouts;
5. When cooking fish, you can't stir it because the fish has starch on it, and it will fall off when it is stirred when it is put into the pot;
6. The cooking time should not be too long. The fish will become hard after a long time. Generally 5 minutes is enough. If there is more fish, just add 2 minutes.
7. The key to this dish is to fry the Pixian bean paste with low heat to get the red oil!
