Key points

Boiled fish is a spicy and tempting signature dish. The meat is fresh and delicious, and it is very popular. The key to the taste of boiled fish depends on the quality of ingredients such as pepper and chili.

Dried red pepper

The spicy boiled fish uses a kind of dried red pepper commonly known as "bullet head". It is produced in the mountain city of Chongqing. It is made from fresh peppers collected around the beginning of autumn and then dried. At this time, the peppers are long, thick, bright in color, with few seeds, and have a sweet and spicy taste. They are of good quality and will not turn black or burn when cooked in high-temperature red oil.

Peppercorn

The peppercorns that go with it are even more particular, and only the peppercorns produced in Guizhou can produce that special numbing flavor. The peel of this kind of pepper has a special aroma and a strong and long-lasting numbing taste.
