Tips

culture

鱼头火锅 is typically made with bighead carp (鳙鱼) because of its oversized, gelatinous head. Hunan-style uses 剁椒 (chopped pickled chili) on top, while Cantonese versions go mild with ginger and scallion. The head goes in first as base, then other ingredients are added for hot-pot cooking.
