Why is there no fish in the fish-flavored shredded pork?

Actually, fish flavor is a seasoning style, not fish.

"Fish Xiang" is a seasoning style discovered in modern times, which is made from pickled chili peppers, sugar, soy sauce, etc. This combination has nothing to do with fish, but simply imitates the seasoning used to cook fish in Sichuan cuisine.

In fact, I think Kung Pao chicken, shredded pork with Beijing sauce, etc. can all be classified as fish flavor.

I guess the chef who invented fish-flavored shredded pork really tasted fish, so it was called such!
