BEIJING, Aug. 12 (Xinhua) — The first China-Russia Baked Fish Cooking Invitational Competition 2025 was held in the Chinese border city of Tongjiang on Thursday. Thirteen teams from the two countries showcased their unique food culture and culinary skills, leading news portal chinanews.com reported.
Divided with the Jewish Autonomous Region of Russia by the Heilongjiang /Amur/ border river, Tongjiang has the status of a medium-sized port for Chinese-Russian waterway trade and a transshipment port for import-export cargo in the framework of multimodal transportation by river and sea. In addition, it is also famous as a “paradise of beautiful ecology” and the main place of compact residence of the Nanai people in China, for whom fish is the main traditional food product.
At the competition site, some chefs baked fish using traditional signature recipes, while others used innovative blends of seasonings and spices. The air was filled with the tantalizing aroma of grilled fish. The jury members carefully tasted each dish served, rating them on a number of criteria – from the heat treatment mode, taste sensations and aftertaste, to creative presentation and successful cultural integration.
Based on the results of the evaluations, three gold medalists, three silver medalists, four bronze medalists, and four incentive prize winners were determined.
At the event, tourists and connoisseurs of gastronomy were not only able to try the skills of culinary experts from China and Russia, but also enjoy variety performances by actors from both countries, as well as enjoy participating in lottery games and winning.
The competition organisers emphasised that the event was not only a genuine gastronomic celebration, but also a lively cultural exchange experience, during which the peoples of the two neighbouring countries were able to strengthen mutual understanding and deepen their friendship with the help of the “border-transcending language of cuisine”.
Thanks to the success of this competition, Tongjiang City plans to organize similar cultural exchange events in the field of cuisine and gastronomy on a regular basis and in diversified formats in the future. -0-
