sweet and sour carp
Sweet and sour carp "is a traditional and famous dish in Jinan, Shandong. Jinan is adjacent to the Yellow River to the north. The Yellow River carp are not only fat, tender and delicious, but also have golden scales and red tails. They are cute in shape and are a delicacy at banquets. You can't buy Yellow River carp in Beijing. I use fresh carp raised in Longqing Gorge Reservoir given by a friend. It tastes very delicious...
This dish; dark red in color, crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, fragrant, sweet and sour. It's a summer appetizer.
