Yuanjiang County of Dongting Lake in Hunan Province is rich in whitebait. Folklore has it that whitebait is not an ordinary product. It was made by the jade hairpin inserted by the Queen Mother's hair that fell into the mouth of the Dongting Lake. The jade hairpin fell into the water and transformed into a pair of white silver fish, which multiplied and lived. The Shenyang River is rich in silver fish. Gong Xucheng, a poet of the Ming Dynasty, wrote a poem praising silver fish,"When the ice ends, the rivers are green, and the silver fish rises in the rapids." Fresh floating white jade plate, no need to explore the inner acupuncture points."
[Characteristics]"Double Silver" means silver fish and silver buds. It is named because two silver coins are fried together. Each 100 grams of food part of whitebait contains about 8.2 grams of protein, 0.3 grams of fat, and 258 mm of calcium.
