Yellow croaker soup with cabbage
Snow cabbage soup and yellow croaker is a specialty of Ningbo and a common method of cooking fish in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. This dish has tender and tender fish, fragrant snow vegetables, and refreshing soup, which is evocative.

When I mentioned yellow croaker before, I always felt that braised yellow croaker was more delicious. However, after trying the cabbage soup and yellow croaker, I was surprised that the fish with stronger fishy smell could be so light and delicious.
