Great Lake Fish is a renowned local specialty in Yong'an and a welcomed dish in the local banquets as well, enjoying the reputation just as famous as the Bean Curd produced in Qiaowei of Yong'an. It was recorded that the ancestor of Great Lake Lai Family was emigrated from Jiangxi Province, so they were familiar with the fish-cultivating skills handed from generations lived in Jiangxi. Due to the exclusive cool fresh water in Great Lake, which was very suitable for developing the fishing industry, every year the local residents purchased young fish of grass carp from Jiangxi Province and fed them. Thus from one generation to another, Great Lake has been become the well-known “Home of Fishing Industry” gradually. |
