This is an authentic Yellow River carp, much bigger than the carp sold in the market. I cut it into three pieces, stewed it, and then put it together. It would be better if I had a big pot to stew the whole carp.
The characteristic of stewed fish is its original flavor. Don't put too much sauce and seasoning. If you don't like the seasoning, you can stew it clear.
This stewed fish is only suitable for large carp, but small carp are not suitable for stewing like this, so there is nothing to eat.
