There are not a few "Sanhe fish" restaurants on the streets of Chongqing, and Sanhe Yi refers to "heaven, earth, and people", which is an auspicious word, and the actual meaning is closer to "hot pot with fish as the bottom of the pot". Zhuye Sanhe fish originated from Qijiang District, the brand has been standing in Chongqing for more than 10 years, on the flavor of the pot material, few fish hot pot restaurants can compete with it, and the price of Zhuye Sanhe fish also has certain advantages.
The fish should be selected in a specific area, and the customer will directly weigh and slaughter them after being identified on the spot. The variety of Zhuye Sanhe fish is obviously richer than that of ordinary "fly shops", and it usually provides silver carp, catfish, pikebian, qingbo, jiangtuan, and huanglaiding. Bobbin (also known as pincer fish or ditch catfish) and Qingbo are all categories with a fatty taste and fine flesh fiber. There are no small intermuscular spines, and you can chew them like tasting red meat, which is quite enjoyable. "Huang Chi Ding" is the main variety of Chongqing fish hot pot, this folk name actually includes a variety of fish with similar appearance, and its taste is different, but on the whole, it can reflect the excellent flavor in the pot material that is not spicy.
Chongqing hot pot base is often considered to be spicy and unpleasant, but only when the aroma is strong can it be praised by the locals, and the spicy soup base of bamboo leaf Sanhe fish is satisfying, and the strong aroma and slightly spicy are more appropriate to describe. Compared with the gentle and elegant dining style of Amber Fish and Camphor Live Fish Restaurant, the flavor of Zhuye Sanhe Fish is rich and enjoyable, suitable for feasting, and its sauerkraut pot base is also superior, this flavor has also received a good market response in branches outside the province, while the pepper pot base is more suitable for Sichuan-style dietary preferences, and the flavor is more numb.
The bamboo leaf Sanhe fish preparation method is special, the sauce at the bottom of the pot is fried with semi-finished raw materials on the spot, and the vegetable oil and dried chili peppers are poured after the fish fillets are boiled in water, which makes the waiting time take about 20 minutes, but it takes into account the fragrance and the taste of the fish. In addition, the store also added konjac, kelp, bamboo shoots, tofu, potatoes and other side dishes to the bottom of the pot, which made the taste poor after a long time of cooking, but improved the cost performance, which is better than nothing.
The hot pot dishes used for scalding in the store are decent and will not be detailed. The side dishes are full of Sichuan and Chongqing characteristics, and the beans and black duck are quite popular, and the taste is often satisfying to diners. Sichuan cuisine pays attention to seasoning, and the red oil chili pepper dressing rarely loses its standard.
The scale of the Bamboo Leaf Sanhe Fish Restaurant is not small, there are more than 20 tables in the hall alone, but the decoration is old and old-fashioned, the cement gray brick floor, the square wooden beams show nostalgia, and the mirror surface printed with bamboo and wood can be regarded as a point of view. The Chongqing head office is located in Huang Ni Pound, the decoration has been renovated, the service level and environmental conditions are significantly better than other branches, and the box in the store is also the best among the stores in Chongqing, which can be used for family and friend dinners. Shapingba is the brand's only supermarket branch, which opened at the end of 2018, and its dishes are different from other stores and are not included in the scope of this list.
