About Liu Yishou Roast Fish (Nan'an)

Chongqing roast fish (Chongqing kao yu) is a style of cooking that went from local specialty to national craze in the 2010s — a whole fish charcoal-grilled until the skin is crispy, then placed in a wok and covered with a bubbling sauce of chili, doubanjiang, garlic, scallion, and Sichuan peppercorn. The Nan'an District restaurants along Nanbin Road have the best Yangtze River views for evening dining.

What to Order

• Whole roast fish in spicy Chongqing sauce (¥68-98)
• Corn and potato accompaniments (cook in the sauce)
• Cold Chongqing beer to accompany

Insider Tips

Choose your fish size — 600-800g is good for 2 people. The accompaniments (corn, potato, lotus root) cook in the fish sauce and are delicious. The Nanbin Road restaurants have outdoor terraces with Yangtze River views — worth waiting for a river-view table.
