Fried dace with salted black beans is a quintessentially Southern Chinese dish, one that I never grew up with. The dish was used to preserve food for Cantonese workers that were working in foreign countries. Fried dace with salted black beans comes in a uniquely shaped can, lasts a long time and can be simply eaten with white rice. The flavour is a savoury umami taste. I don’t think it is too salty. My Grandmother was said to eat it on a regular basis.
