5 Must-Visit Specialty Fish Restaurants in Changsha, Have You Been to All?

Spring is a good time for the weak to nourish themselves, and fish is a great nourishing food. Not only is it delicious, but it also has high nutritional value. Its protein content is twice that of pork, and it is high-quality protein with high absorption rate! Today, Foodie Boy recommends five great fish restaurants for you. Feel free to bookmark them!

Fish lips? You might be startled! You might think there's no meat on fish lips, how can you eat them? But when you come here, you'll find that it's not just fish lips, but also many authentic and delicious Hunan dishes. So let's arrange a visit soon!

Old Street Fish Lips: Signature dish, must-order. The selected fish head is fried until the skin is crispy and the meat is tender and flavorful. The first time you eat fish lips, you'll be pleasantly surprised!

Steamed Preserved Meats: This is an indispensable dish on every household's table in Changsha. The steamed preserved meats at Old Street Fish Lips includes cured pork, cured sausage, and also uses our Hunan pig's blood tofu. Pig's blood tofu is a specialty of Shaoyang, Hunan, made from tofu, pig's blood, and a small amount of pork. The resulting pig's blood tofu has the bounciness of tofu and the texture of pork, and is very popular with its unique preserved flavor.

Honeycomb Corn: Because of its golden appearance, it is very popular at various banquets. Not only is it delicious, but it also has a good meaning. So for over a decade, this dish has been a must-have at wedding and birthday banquets. Making honeycomb corn tests the chef's control over oil temperature: too high and it will burn black, too low and it won't form a honeycomb shape. So this honeycomb corn is hard to find in home-style restaurants; it must be at the level of a master chef.

Green Pepper and Perilla Frog: Good news for frog lovers! The sauce is generous, the flavor is authentic, and the frog meat is tender and flavorful. Thumbs up!

Address: Tianxin District, Huayuan Youyougang, first floor outer street (intersection of Xiangjiang Middle Road and Jiefang West Road)

A unique paradise restaurant in the city, located inside Wangling Park. With 30 million yuan worth of landscape gardens, the environment is pleasant with wide views. You can enjoy the changing scenery of "cherry blossoms, lotus flowers, osmanthus, and snowflakes" throughout the year.

A 26-year-old establishment, famous for its signature dish: Chopped Pepper Fish Head. Huge male fish paired with the restaurant's secret 'Beauty Chopped Pepper,' sour and spicy with a kick. Even the food agents from 'Mars Intelligence Agency' were full of praise.

Signature Chopped Pepper Fish Head: On-site ignition, fish deboning, full of ceremony, excellent taste. After serving, the waiter performs an 'ignition ceremony,' symbolizing 'prosperity and abundance every year.' There are also special knife and fork for deboning the fish head, breaking it into bite-sized pieces.

Fiery chopped pepper + pickled pepper + secret ingredients, plus preserved plum, perilla, and other seasonings. The white and tender fish head is fully flavored, simply fresh and delicious.

With rice or noodles: When half of the fish head is eaten, a bowl of plain noodles is essential. Soak the noodles in the broth, slurp up the spicy kick. The noodles are soft and absorb the essence of the fish head, bringing out the freshness of the broth perfectly. Alternatively, a bowl of rice is also excellent.

Address: Jingxiu Road, beside Muyu Movie Garden (Wangyue Park, formerly Wangling Park)

Average cost: 123 RMB

Chopped Pepper Fish Head: The fish head is served standing up on a plate, a novel presentation. The waiter also pours a little vodka over the fish head for customers to light, symbolizing prosperity. The fish head has a lot of meat, enough for four people. Although the fish head is large, every part is well-flavored and not fishy. The chopped pepper is super fragrant, complementing the fish head meat. You can't stop eating despite feeling the spiciness.

High-altitude Selenium-rich Small Potatoes: The small potatoes are boiled until soft and fluffy, relatively light, very good for relieving spiciness, and tasty.

Taro Steamed Trotters: The trotters have been cut into small pieces, just one bite each, chewy and smooth without any fishy smell, plus the sandy taro, leaving a lingering aftertaste.

Stone Pot Seafood Stuffed Tofu: Listed among the four classics on the menu, I felt it necessary to try. It was indeed a good choice. The super tender tofu is stuffed with crab meat and crab roe, delivering a dual burst of umami and aroma in the mouth.

Address: Pozi Street, Yuefang IDMALL, 5th floor

Average cost: 95 RMB

Fish sashimi is their signature. From one fish, the scales are discarded, and the rest is treasured, producing four delicious dishes: fish sashimi, steamed fish head and tail with black bean sauce, fish porridge, and fried fish bones. Crystal clear and delicate, traditional fish sashimi best showcases the freshness of the fish and the tenderness of the texture.

Shunde Fish Sashimi: The plump and tender grass carp is sliced very thin and fine, white and translucent, piled on an ice plate like thin gauze, butterfly wings, or white snow. It is mixed and eaten with ten or more condiments such as mustard, soy sauce, sesame oil, and millet pepper.

Because the condiments can be chosen freely, each combination has a different taste, as if you can taste endless flavors, truly a supreme delicacy.

Shrimp Dumplings: The skin is thin and soft, chewy and semi-transparent, flexible and not breaking. The shrimp filling inside is refreshing and springy, delicious and tasty.

Red Bean Double Skin Milk: Rich milk flavor, different from ordinary milk. This water buffalo milk has a particularly strong milky aroma, but no fishy smell. Paired with soft and sweet honey red beans, it's a perfect summer combination!

Address: Xianzheng Street, No. 5

Average cost: 94 RMB

Their soup base is made from (two old hens and fifty pounds of pork leg bones) simmered for four hours twice a day, using a Miao ethnic secret recipe. They also have pickled old jar cabbage. The snakehead fish they use has few bones, delicate and tender meat, low in fat and healthy, refreshing and appetizing. You can keep eating without worry.

Their snakehead fish dumplings are made fresh daily and finally boiled in the sour soup. Really! Highly recommended, indescribably delicious. The dumplings absorb the soup well and are very flavorful. You can ask the waiter to prepare the pulled dough strips.
