The specialty of Beigang's "土魠魚羹" lies in its unique cooking method - instead of deep-frying, the fish is cut into chunks, coated with starch, and then boiled. This method allows the natural flavor of the "土魠魚" to shine through. The soup is made with large cabbage as a base and thickened with starch, and after cooking, it's garnished with a sprinkle of coriander and red vinegar, making it a delicious local snack.
土魠魚羹 can be enjoyed in the morning or evening. If you're planning to have it before noon, it's recommended to try it at "塗城土魠魚羹" located at No. 5, Zhonghua Road, Beigang. They start selling from 6:00 AM and continue until 12:30 PM, making it well worth a try.
