About Chongqing Grilled Fish
A whole fish grilled over charcoal, then served in a sizzling metal tray with chili oil, Sichuan pepper, lotus root, potatoes, and tofu skin. You eat it like hotpot — ingredients keep cooking at the table. Uniquely Chongqing, surprisingly hard to find elsewhere in China.
