Shad is a famous specialty of Chashan, commonly known as three黎fish. It has fatty meat and fresh taste. Its shape is similar to yellow croaker but it's larger in size. It can be steamed or pan-fried. The dish of three黎fish with bitter melon soup is especially famous. Since it belongs to the migratory fish category, every year during the fourth month of the lunar calendar, there are more shads along the banks of the Lion Ocean. In other months, they are very scarce. Shad has a fresh taste, fine texture, and extremely high nutritional value. It contains abundant protein, fat, riboflavin, niacin, and calcium, phosphorus, iron.
