Wuxi---【Jiangyin Pufferfish】
Thread Content
I always thought that eating pufferfish was only possible in spring. “A few peach blossoms appear beyond the bamboo; ducks are the first to sense the warmth of the spring waters.” The watercress covers the ground and the reed shoots are short – it’s the time when pufferfish begin to appear. Pufferfish are abundant around the Qingming Festival and have always been considered the top among the \"Four Delicacies of the Yangtze River\". The Four Delicacies of the Yangtze River are: pufferfish, shad, swordfish, and hairtail. Pufferfish is delicious, has a tender texture, and is rich in nutrients. It was mentioned as early as in the \"Shan Hai Jing\" from the Warring States period, and by the Song dynasty it had become a precious delicacy, a rare treat on the dining table. The richness of pufferfish is widely praised

It’s a pretty cute fish; too bad I’ve never eaten it
It’s just too expensive; ordinary people can’t afford it, so they can only eat it occasionally.
