■ Dish Story
According to historical records and artifacts unearthed from the Qin and Han ruins in Huacheng,
Wuhua County, the tradition of consuming raw fish in Wuhua dates back to at least the Qin and Han
dynasties. Due to its simple preparation, easy-to-find ingredients and appetite-stimulating prop-
erties, raw fish has been cherished by locals for generations. In Wuhua folklore, there’s a saying:
“Without raw fish, life is incomplete” and “Visiting Wuhua without tasting raw fish means you haven’t
truly experienced Wuhua.”
