Eating with Fish

Bok av Gu Qingsheng
This is a food culture essay for "e;on the road"e;. Food writer Gu Qingsheng spends half of his life travelling for delicious food. He has visited all over the famous mountains and great rivers just for looking for the original authentic local food. Chinese food culture is extensive and profound it could be reflected both in the dining room hotel and in the common folk, and the same dish could be cooked in different ways. Take fish as example, there are great difference in cooking stream fish, river fish and sea fish And it is rather hard to eat the most authentic folk cuisine. To meet this goal, firstly, you need to participate in the folk, travel among the grass-roots level, understand the local food culture and structure and know more about local history and the humanities. We believe this travel leaded by Gu Qingsheng related to "e;fish"e; would not only let you see the world, but also make you enjoy the most different taste from the foreign land.
