Steamed Yangtze River larvae
By HarleyFeeney
I believe many people have never heard of Yangtze River larvae. Neither have I. When I first saw this fish, I knew that it tasted extremely delicious. It has a slender body and silver-white scales, and looks very clean. When I bought it, I hesitated for a long time, deciding whether to buy one big one or two small ones. The big one was too big, estimated to be about a pound and a half. The meat was definitely not as tender as the small ones. In the end, I bought two pieces of about sixty-liang weight. After I bought them home, I steamed them. I always felt that only by steaming them could I retain its delicious original flavor.
