Friends who have been to Anning all know that there is a legendary local braised spicy fish. From 1999 to now, a single dish of braised spicy fish has been popular for 20 years. It is said that the president of a hot pot brand offered 1 million to buy his recipe but was rejected. On average, one ton of fish is sold every day. At four o'clock in the afternoon, many people will go to the table on time. Now the second generation of his family has finally opened the store in the northern part of Kunming. Friends who like to eat fish are really in luck.
Below is his old restaurant in Anning. It is very famous in the local area and almost everyone knows it. Around four o'clock in the afternoon, many people will come early to reserve seats.
Even if you take photos and chat inside, you still have to wait to eat here.
Normally there are no seats during meal time, so many people from other provinces come here because of its reputation.
Now the second generation has opened the store in the northern part of Kunming, making it much more convenient for countless foodies. His method of eating spicy fish is the first in Kunming. It can be said to be unique and completely different from the tastes of Sichuan and Chongqing.
The chili peppers are the best and most expensive on the market. There must be about 200 chili peppers in each pot. It feels very choked standing by the pot.
The best-selling items in the store are Jiang Tuan and Jian Yu, which are cooked to order when customers come.
The soul of the spicy fish lies in his family’s secret recipe, and no one except the boss’s parents knows about it. The boss of a big hot pot brand once offered 1 million to buy the recipe but was rejected. You can tell that there is pepper, but the rest is made from 30 kinds of natural herbs. This is why his spicy fish has been popular for so many years. It is delicious and will not cause irritation.
After the fresh live fish is slaughtered and processed, it must first be marinated with a secret formula. The marinating time and formula ratio are very particular, not only to lock in the freshness of the fish, but also to ensure the flavor.
What you usually eat here is the Mandarin Duck Pot with a spicy pot base and a Thai sour soup base.
The Thai sour soup base is super appetizing, and the spicy pot base is rich and fragrant.
When the bottom of the pot is rolling, red peppers come and go. People who have never tried it will think it is very spicy and explosive. In fact, the taste of his food is more of a simmering aroma, and the spiciness is just right.
took a look and found that there were at least three taels of garlic in the bottom of the pot, so the overall taste was more mellow.
The bottom of the Thai sour soup pot is also a must-eat. The boss once learned and improved it while studying in Thailand. He opened a restaurant through his own work-study studies. Even the princess of Thailand awarded him a gourmet certificate. The owner of the best-selling Thai sour soup in Kunming and he are both friends we met in Thailand.
It contains tomatoes, spicy millet, large coriander, as well as filaments cut from coconut shells, etc. Before eating fish, you must drink a bowl of sour soup, it is super appetizing.
In addition to his love for food, the boss is also a sports enthusiast. It can be seen that he has a strong body and is full of sunshine and positive energy when he talks and laughs. I walk more than 20,000 steps in the store every day and wear out several pairs of brand-name leather shoes.
After the bottom of the pot boils, you can add the marinated fish. They are all cooked on site. You can match the pot bottom according to your personal preference.
It won’t take long for the tender fish meat to start changing color, and the fresh aroma will hit your nose instantly. Just smelling it is really irresistible.
The cooked fish meat still maintains a firm texture and does not feel loose at all.
How delicious is it? Even the soup is so delicious that you can drink it directly.Because his family even refines the oil themselves, using lard, chicken fat, and soybean oil.
Ladle the soup into a bowl, put the fish in it and eat it for the soul. It has a mellow and thick taste and a sweet aftertaste. Even my elder brother who has hemorrhoids won't get it after eating it, so he doesn't have to worry about getting angry at all.
What comes out of the Thai sour soup pot is another level. It is in obvious contrast with the spicy one and has a distinct taste.
At most, 4 people ate 8 kilograms of fish at one time, which was hard to believe.
You must drink several bowls of Thai sour soup, it is guaranteed to make you want to drink more.
Fish meat is also very convenient to eat because there are no fine spines, so it can be said to be suitable for all ages.
After asking the boss, I found out that this is called seafood cheese tofu, which contains cheese. It has a soft and glutinous texture and will become stringy when you bite it.
Black Gold Quicksand Buns are a type of Hong Kong-style morning tea. They are characterized by unique colors, softer than ordinary quicksand buns, and a layer of gold powder that adds a strong aura. They are simply a symbol of noble status!
The appearance is very attractive, and the taste is even better. After one bite, it explodes by 3 cm, full of egg yolk quicksand, and the sweetness is refreshing.
There is also this hawthorn made by his family, which is sour but sweet afterward.
After eating the fish, plus a variety of fresh side dishes, it was a satisfying meal.
The boss who drives a BMW X6 is very low-key. When he goes to the market to buy food, he always wears the store's work clothes and goes out.
For me, it is a very happy thing that I no longer have to go all the way to Anning to eat fish at his house. I hope more foodies can experience this rare delicacy in the world - ancient Yunnan herbal spicy fish.
