During this season the fisher folk would eat nothing but fish. In the markets and at temples, hawkers would shuttle through the crowds carrying large steamer trays from which they sold steamed hairtail; when they lifted the lids the aroma would waft everywhere. The piping-hot four-inch sections of hairtail were meltingly tender.
漁民就以魚當飯，比吃火燒槓子頭更增加體力，市集廟會到處有人捧著大籠屜，在人群裡穿梭叫賣蒸帶魚，一掀蓋香聞十里，每塊四吋多長的帶魚段，熱氣騰騰滑嫩凝霜。
