- Comments: This exquisite fish dish mirrors the refinements of the cuisine of the Song Dynasty (AD 960-1279), a period when people's eating habits mirrored their social position. Although the distinction between the cooking styles and ingredients of the rich and the poor was not as marked as in the Western world, the rich had access to more variety and specialties.
- This dish calls for a white-fleshed fish of superb quality and freshness, and the wine must be the finest Shaoxing rice wine available. It is a dish which originated in Beijing (Peking) and does justice to claims of the citizens of Beijing (Peking) which their food, when properly understood, is "like a beautiful young girl who does not need jewelry or possibly makeup."
