On Longtan Cultural Road Fish Street, "Shiyuan Live Fish" stands out with its red Chinese palace-style exterior. The founder, Chen Huaiqing, is a key figure in the live fish industry of Shimen. In the 1970s, Shimen Reservoir became a popular tourist spot, and at the age of 48, Chen Huaiqing resolutely ventured into the live fish industry. The name Shiyuan comes from the Shiyuan Dormitory of the Institute of Nuclear Energy Research, where Chen, seeing its beautiful environment, decided to name the restaurant after it. To remain steadfast in business, Chen believes "innovation" is an essential condition, and he has continuously developed new methods of preparation based on the three styles of live fish dishes, creating over 170 ways to enjoy live fish. To enhance the efficiency of ordering, he also tailored a POS system in 1990 to shorten ordering time and increase accuracy. At that time, Chen even bought a parking lot larger than the restaurant, which raised doubts from various circles; today, facing insufficient parking spaces, everyone understands his foresight. The signature dish of Shiyuan Live Fish is the Old Dad's Fish, a recipe that the founder made for his daughter, finely chopping authentic Hakka pickled vegetables and slowly simmering the fish to bring out a sweet, salty, and sour flavor. The Ginger Shredded Fish Soup evolved from the Ginger Shredded Pork Intestines...
