The Pearl River Bridge brand of fried dace was so successful both packaging and taste wise that all the other brands on the market copied their ideas, even up to today as you can see on the market shelves. ~ellenEllen L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05300378881574766553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199617894116272192.post-78276341186869379922022-06-02T04:37:42.488+08:002022-06-02T04:37:42.488+08:00Are you sure pearl river brand is the original?

The can brings back so many memories. I moved to RI to work in a university lab and I became very good friends with a grad student from China who introduced me to this fish. We are friends to this day! I have moved all over the US and somehow (even in TX and SC!) I have been able to find it. Amazing that your family is connected to this.

Costs 5.90 a can though and there is delivery if you don't live nearby. I live in Glasgow and there various chinese supermarkets like See Woo or a couple small local ones such as Lims (has website) sell a cheap thai brand that uses mackerel. It is not quite as tasty but still not bad. <br /><br />I've seen the pearl river brand locally too but people often stockpile them and clear the shelves when they come in and then it takes months for it to come back in stock again.Kennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00125702625683775695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199617894116272192.post-45812432646681851372016-09-21T23:42:59.105+08:002016-09-21T23:42:59.105+08:00I used to eat this when I was little as well, so y...I used to eat this when I was little as well, so yummy and still exactly the same!
