The Ten Signature Dishes——Pounded Fish Consommé with Three Shreds (San Si Qiao Yu) - The Hands Behind Wenzhou's Culinary Heritage

Ou Cuisine is built on seafood, light oil, delicate thickening, and meticulous knife work. These ten signature dishes showcase its culinary mastery — pounded fish consommé, scallion-oil croaker, mud crab with egg white — and ten more snacks embody its vibrant street culture, from fish balls that are decidedly not round to the bowl of glutinous rice the city wakes up to.

Pounded Fish Consommé with Three Shreds (San Si Qiao Yu). Fresh fish fillets are sliced thin, dusted with starch, and pounded with a wooden mallet into translucent, paper-thin sheets. These are poached, cut into strips, and simmered in a clear broth with the "three shreds" — chicken breast, ham, and shiitake — alongside leafy greens. The soup is pristine, the fish velvety. One of the "Three Treasures of Ou Cuisine," it boasts a history of over a century and was named one of Zhejiang's ten classic dishes in the 2018 national "Chinese Cuisine" program.
