Dongpo ink fish

chinaculture.org | Updated: 2012-03-12 17:28

Dongpo ink fish?is a well-know traditional Sichuan dish. Legend goes like this: Su Dongpo(1037-1101), a famous poet in the Song Dynasty (960-1279), used to wash his ink-slab in the river at the foot of the Lingyun Cliff when he studied at the Lingyun Temple. The fish in the river drank the ink so that they became as black as ink. Hence people call the fish "Dongpo ink fish." With the Giant Buddha at Leshan gaining recognition in the workd, the?fish also won its fame, placed among the three famous river fishes of Sichuan (the other two: Jiangtuan, a yellow river can fish; Feituo, a dark river catfish). Tourists to Leshan often take pleasure in tasting the delicacy.
