After applying a layer to the surface, he also stuffed some into the Fish Belly. The Glutinous Rice was highly sticky. After spreading it evenly, he laid out dry straw neatly on the workbench, placed the fish on top, and wrapped it with the straw.
The preserved fish was thus prepared. Next, it would be left in a warm place to marinate for a few days.
"This marinating method looks quite traditional." Even with his extensive experience in aquatic products, Zhu Yong couldn't guess what delicacy this might be.
Although the method was similar to that of traditional stinky Gu fish, which is fermented in wooden barrels, this was wrapped with straw instead.
Lin Xu said, "This is a lost dish that I'm trying to restore."
During the Song Dynasty, this type of preserved fish was considered a delicacy. Lu You had written several poems praising its exquisite taste.
