Squirrel fish

Squirrel shape fried fish (Chinese: 松鼠鱖魚; pinyin: sōngshǔ guìyú) is a well-known dish in Jiangsu cuisine, originally from Suzhou.

It is prepared by deboning and carving a mandarin fish into an ornamental shape similar to a squirrel, and then deep-frying it in batter before dousing it in sweet and sour sauce.
