Who knows what's delicious in Lin 'an?

1/ Fish Head Eight Hangzhou people once ate four pots of fish heads here.

In Lin 'an, Star Restaurant can be said to be one of the best "old shops" and one of the few Jianghu shops with "upgraded" hotels.

The owner of this shop is Su Xinmin. 1987 In Lin 'an old street, Xinmin Street, a small shop with a facade was opened, called Xinmin Restaurant. "The boss's name is Xinmin, the store's name is Xinmin Street, and the address is Xinmin Street. I don't know how much ostentation and extravagance there is. Actually, it's just a shop with small breasts. Although it is called a hotel, it is actually similar to a hotel in Hangzhou. " Su Xinmin said with a smile, "Seven years ago, I moved to Huqiao on Shanggan Road. With an upgraded version, I reversed my name' Xinmin' and renamed it' Star Restaurant'."

This 2 1 year old shop has a fish head (formerly called "Xinmin Fish Head", now called "Star Fish Head"), which is probably more famous than the boss Su Xinmin. The fish head is the clear water fish head in Lin 'an. It is made of 10 spices, hot sauce and brine tofu by simmering for more than 30 minutes. Burning method is not special, but it is a taste that others can't imitate. On one occasion, eight Hangzhou guests ate four pots of fish heads here the first night and went straight here at noon the next day. Haven't entered the store, just cried "fish head! Fish head! "

In the "star" lineup of "star restaurant", salted pig eggs, star fairy chicken, braised turtle and braised fish maw with Chili are all very popular "stars".

2/ Mandarin fish has become a "home cooking" in many stores in Hangzhou.

At present, many restaurants in Hang Cheng have a "home cooking"-osmanthus fish pot. But in fact, the earliest source of this dish is "Hong Bing Mandarin Fish" in Leping, Lin 'an.

This shop is called "Hotel" and its owner is Cao. It is located in Leping Township, Yuqian Town, Lin 'an City, at the foot of Baiyun Mountain, by the Fenshui River, quite far from the urban area of Lin 'an. From Hangzhou, you can take the Hangzhou-Guizhou Expressway as the exit and take the provincial road 16 to Leping.

Every day, especially on weekends, diners from all walks of life come here from Lin 'an, Tonglu, Hangzhou and even Shanghai. A fish, two dishes of wild vegetables, and a few homemade cakes, although they are unremarkable, in good times, dozens of luxury cars will be parked at the door, and a small shop will have a turnover of tens of thousands of yuan a day.

Cao's mandarin fish is very particular: mandarin fish should be wild, with three pounds in the early stage and four pounds slightly shorter. If it is bigger, the meat will be old, and if it is smaller, it will lose momentum. This kind of mandarin fish is very heavy. When it is put into a fish basin for a while, its head and tail are very high, just sticking out of the basin, and its shape is very vivid. In "Hong Bing Mandarin Fish", there are chopped duck intestines, shredded pork, five or six lake crab, green onions and onions, and a proper amount of pepper is added according to the taste of the guests. Pepper is also very particular. It is a distinctive "famous brand pepper" in Lin 'an and Tonglu-Chaotian Seven Sisters pepper. This kind of pepper is yellow, spicy and has a strong flavor when it is fresh.

Cao said that these ingredients are ready, and the barrel bone soup prepared by himself is poured in spring and summer, and the sheep bone soup is poured in autumn and winter, which tastes like stewing on high fire! "After drinking this fish soup, the taste of other dishes is all weak, so eat fish with some side dishes."

This shop has been open for 17 years, and has never used outsiders, all of them are family members. Most of the raw materials used in the kitchen are also homemade. On the roof of the third hotel, there are sixty or seventy pig legs hanging on the stone pier, which is the meat of the mandarin fish pot. Just go to the roof and cut some every day. Even the water used for soup is the mountain spring water that Cao's brother-in-law pulls his car to Baiyun Mountain nearby every day to drink. Cao said that the water there was delicious and the soup in the pot was delicious.
