Huizhou fish bites sheep

According to legend, in the Qing Dynasty, a farmer in Huizhou Prefecture took four sheep across the Lianjiang River on a ferry. Due to the small and crowded cabin, he accidentally squeezed an adult ram into the river. The sheep could not swim and struggled in the river. After a while, they sank into the deep water. Due to the sinking of the sheep, many fish were attracted. When the sheep sank to the bottom of the water, the fish flocked to them, competing for land and mutton. Because they ate too much, they all became dizzy. Coincidentally, a fisherman was passing by in a small fishing boat nearby. Seeing so many fish scurrying around on the water, he was so pleasantly surprised that he couldn't help but withdraw the net. What surprised him was that the fish were not as lively as usual, but stayed in the net obediently. When the fisherman took the net ashore and took it home, he felt that the fish were particularly heavy today, so he cut a fish with a knife. The belly of the fish was full of mutton. Fishermen are new. Wash the fish, seal the knife edge, and cook it together with the chopped mutton in the abdomen. As a result, the cooked fish was crispy and rotten, without fishy smell or smell. The soup tasted delicious and had a special flavor. When the news came out, some local gourmets also tried to cook such a dish. The flavor was indeed extraordinary. Since then, the locals have named the dish cooked in this way "Fish Bites Sheep". Over time, it became a famous dish among Anhui cuisine.
Fish bite sheep, a famous Huizhou dish of variegated colors, is made by putting mutton into the belly of a fish and then sealing and cooking it.
Characteristics: The fish is crispy, tender and extremely delicious.
