Mud snails abound in the coastal areas of Ningbo. In the peach flower blooming season, mud snails will put out the mud inside and the meat is most tender and delicious. Mud snails can be yielded twice a year: in the peach flowers blooming season and in the osmanthus flowers blooming season. Mud snails are often consumed after being salted. To salt mud snails, firstly clean the live mud snails in sea water, then put them into a container, together with some salt; when the snails are dead, get rid of the water and add some more salt. Last add some wine before sealing the container. In about a week, the mud snails will be edible. Properly sealed, the mud snails will not turn bad. The Compendium of Materia Medica says the food is good to liver, kidney, lung, eye, etc. Shanghainese like to consume it with liqor as they believe that it could prevent laryngitis and TB.

The soy marinated fish is typically served cold, which brings out the most flavor. Traditionally, the fish is smoked, but as time has passed, modern cooks now skip this step. However, the Shanghainese still call this “Smoked Fish.”
