White fish is the top fish in Jilin. As the saying goes, "Peach blossoms open in March, and white fish are rich and fresh." "Yongji County Records" records: "A white fish? A' fish Joe' is the finest producing area in Jilin, so it is also called fine scale white fish and tribute. " It is said that this dish was created by the chef of Bahai, the general of Wula, Jilin Province in the Qing Dynasty. In the 21st year of Kangxi (1682), Emperor Kangxi visited Jilin, and Bahai hosted a banquet to welcome him. The chef cooked "steamed white fish" with Songhua River white fish. Emperor Kangxi was full of praise after tasting it, so he became famous all over the city. In the fifteenth year of Qianlong (1750), Emperor Qianlong also tasted "steamed white fish" when he marched eastward to Jilin, calling it delicious in Kanto. Today, it is still a special dish in Jilin.
