CGTN's Travelogue hosts has dived into the captivating story behind Anhui's "Stinky Mandarin Fish." Legend has it that during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), a fisherman discovered a hidden treasure while cooking his catch. He accidentally left the fish to ferment, resulting in a uniquely fragrant aroma that intrigued his senses. Thus, the saga of Stinky Mandarin Fish began. Inspired by this accidental discovery, chefs in Anhui perfected the art of preparing the dish by marinating the fish in fermented vegetables, aromatic spices and fiery chili peppers. The result is a harmonious blend of textures and tanginess. Today, this dish is considered a treasure of Anhui's culinary heritage, embraced by food enthusiasts seeking an unusual and flavorful adventure.
