VIDEO│British anchor Alex show you "Authentic Wenzhou Snacks" —— Fish Cake

# Wenzhou fish cake

Speaking of Wenzhou people’s favorite home-cooked dish, fish dishes must be on the list. For Wenzhou people, there is one more reason why they like to eat fish is that because the word “fish”(in Chinese Pinyin: Yu)has a homophony with Chinese character “余”(also in Chinese Pinyin: Yu). And the Chinese idiom “年年有余” means the life get better year by year. So, fish is an auspicious sigh in Chinese culture. 


Alex said that he was afraid of fish bones, so he didn't eat fish very much in Wenzhou. However, he slowly fell in love with this delicious Wenzhou food - fish cake, which is free of fish bones and tastes tender and soft

The filming location of this video is the Shuangjingtou Wet Market in Wenzhou Urban District. During the filming, Alex said that he saw the golden fish cakesfor the first time here. In Wenzhou, he usually eats white fish cakes.

    

Faced with Alex’s question, the shop owner said that fish cakes are generally white. However, considering that some clients have a preference for hot and salty taste, they will deep-fry the fish cakes to make the skin more crispy.
