The unique way of grilling fish by inserting it in the ground is eye-catching

Another more modern method of grilling fish is the method of grilling fish inserted on a steel pipe. The store makes an iron cart, and welds a row of vertical steel tubes on the side of the cart. This tube is actually a socket, and the red willow branch with the big fish can be inserted up to grill the fish.

The shape of the baked naan is very interesting

Bachu's roast lamb is really delicious

I went to Xinjiang 5 years ago, and I really like the food there. I think the food in Xinjiang can be ranked among the top among so many provinces and regions in the country, that is, basically all dishes and snacks are delicious.

This year’s National Day, I came to Xinjiang again, this time to Bachu County. Unexpectedly, the food here is even more delicious. Basically, there is no bad food. It is worthy of being a city of food.

It is said that Xinjiang barbecue is famous all over the country, and Bachu barbecue is famous in Xinjiang! However, I also went to Bachu and saw the grilled fish in the Red Sea Scenic Area, and then I realized that Bachu’s barbecue, especially the grilled fish, is so unique, which is completely different from the grilled fish in our south.

There are continuous Populus euphratica in the Red Sea Scenic Area, and the Red Sea Reservoir beyond the horizon. The grilled fish here are grass carp weighing 2-3 kg in the Red Sea reservoir, and some carp are used. These fish look very original. It turns out that the Red Sea Reservoir is formed by melting ice and snow from the Karakoram Mountains and converging through the Yarkant River. The water quality is clean, so all the fish caught are big. For thousands of years, the Yarkand River has bred Bachu Daolang culture and Daolang people. Daolang people fished and hunted along the river, multiplied and thrived, and the skill of grilling fish has been continued for thousands of years.

Wash the fish and cut it completely from the abdomen, string it across the body of the fish with red wicker, then spread it into two pieces, and unfold it into a "fish fillet". Then the fish are inserted into the ground one by one to form a semicircle, and then the dry firewood is placed in the semicircle to ignite and bake. Sprinkle salt water, pepper noodles, cumin powder and other seasonings while grilling the fish. Grill one side first, and then grill the other side. The rows of big grilled fish are very picturesque. It is also the first time I have seen such grilled fish. It makes people very appetizing. Some friends also said that such a row of grilled fish looks like What about the shape of a snake?

When the grilled fish is served on the table, put some onions and tomatoes as toppings, which looks very nice. This grilled fish tastes tender and not fishy, ​​crispy and delicious, and the meat is very firm, which is really unique. It can be said that Bachu grilled fish is the most memorable delicacy among all barbecues in Xinjiang.

In addition to Bachu grilled fish, when visiting the Red Sea Scenic Area, you can also eat delicacies that are often seen in Xinjiang, such as oily roast lamb, golden pilaf, fragrant roasted naan, baked buns, and tough cold Noodles, haggis with unique flavor and many other delicacies are mainly concentrated in the ancient road wrestling field and food court (the first naan pit on the Silk Road). Of course, they can also be eaten at night markets in county towns, and often bought in towns. These Xinjiang delicacies.

There are many food stalls in the ancient road wrestling field of Bachu Honghai Scenic Area

Roasted Lamb

Hand-caught mutton and sheep’s hooves are said to have a history of thousands of years. There are three ways to eat them, hot (sliced ​​and steamed in a basket, dipped in Sanhe oil), cold (sliced ​​and directly dipped in refined salt), and fried. (Fry hot in a pan and eat while frying). Hand-caught mutton is characterized by delicious meat, not greasy or smelly, and full of color, fragrance and taste.

After cutting it, immediately fish it in the hot soup

Kashgar and Bachu's lamb trotters are delicacies that cannot be missed.
