With a history of over 1,700 years, Steamed Wuchang Fish is a typical food in Wuhan. This freshwater fish, when steamed together with mushrooms, bamboo shoots and chicken soup, keeps both the original fresh taste of the fish and the nutrients.

China's Chairman Mao Zedong, in his poem "Swimming", writes: "I have just drunk the waters of Changsha. And come to eat the fish of Wuchang." In most of the restaurants, you can find the above specialties on the menu.

The well-known chain restaurants in the city include Little Blue Whale (Xiao Lan Jing), Wuhan San Wu, Yan Yang Tian, Hubei San Wu, and Fu Sheng. They all have branches established throughout the city.
