Zhen Zhong Red Braised Porgy Introduction
A frequently seen specialty snack in Tainan is the Fish Maw Soup, which features fish fillets that can be considered as Taiwanese-style fried fish. Since it is cooked using the frying method, the characteristics of being fragrant, crispy, and crunchy are essential. This is precisely what "Zhen Zheng" (真正) Braised Fish Maw, located on Section 2 of Minzu Road, has achieved. The restaurant takes pride in using genuine ingredients, which is reflected in its name "Zhen Zheng," symbolizing their commitment and aspirations. A delicious bowl of Fish Maw Soup must possess the qualities of crispy skin and tender meat, along with a sweet broth. The owner, drawing on years of experience in fish cuisine, has developed a unique technique to handle the fish maw, cutting the fish into pieces, marinating them in a special seasoning, and then deep-frying. Controlling the frying time is crucial; if not fried enough, the skin will not be crispy, and the fish may not be cooked through; if overcooked, the texture of the fish fillets will change.
