A few years ago, Putian Restaurant created an original dish called "Hundred-Second Yellow Croaker".

Only when you catch fish late at night can the fish be dazzlingly golden
Within 24 hours, from Ningde to Putian everywhere
Ningde City is located on the eastern coast of Fujian Province, inland sea With a world-class natural deep-water port, the cultured yellow croakers grow up eating fresh and tender fish and shrimps, which are naturally extremely delicious. More than 85% of China's large yellow croakers are produced here. Ningde's yellow croaker was selected as a "China Geographical Indication Protected Product", giving the city the reputation of "the hometown of yellow croaker". Yellow croaker is born with its own "rich gold", because its body contains a yellow pigment that will be decomposed when exposed to strong light or ultraviolet rays. Therefore, yellow croaker must be fished in the dark and late at night in order to retain its unique dazzling golden color. . After leaving the water, croaker is particularly sensitive, just like a ripe fruit, so it needs to be handled with special care. In order to lock in the freshness of the croaker at the moment it comes out of the water, the entire preservation process must be quick and neat, with weighing, chilling, and sealing in one go. When freezing, it is necessary to ensure that the ice coat covers the fish body 360 degrees to make it fresher. After being packed, the croaker will be transported overnight in the cold chain to Putian restaurants in various cities. The whole process does not exceed 24 hours. This is the secret of the deliciousness of "Putian croaker".

After trying a variety of chopped pepper sauces on the market, the Putian R&D team always felt that there were some shortcomings, so they decided to develop a purely handmade chopped pepper sauce that is most suitable for Putian yellow croaker.

The salt also needs to be sun-dried Fujian Haigong salt, which is both healthy and brings natural freshness. The prepared chopped peppers need to be sealed and canned and placed in a room with a constant temperature of 24°C for natural fermentation for 3 weeks to allow the aroma of the peppers to be fully released.
