This is partly Fish Head Soup originated at Lake Tianmu, and photo is something else.
https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E7%A0%82%E9%94%85%E9%B1%BC%E5%A4%B4/2008587 This is the something else since their "directions" shows 4 completely unrelated fish head dishes they call casserole. Traditional cooks aren't going to throw all that hot pot crap like red sausage and xiangling into a casserole dish, and it won't turn up like that photo either, which is not a casserole, but a red-braised dish of some kind that does not look like there's fish heads involved, just large pieces of onions and tofu puffs in what looks like an American Chinese food mush (Broadway, Elmhurst, Taste Good, 2007... there's a Malaysian restaurant at that location in NYC.  I can bet anything that pic has absolutely nothing to do with this article).

It's a milky white soup, with lots of tofu cubes, and strong hints of ginger. It was created at Lake Tianmu (location is part of Liyang city, Jiangsu province, but the dish is part of Changzhou cuisine) but since the late 90's, it's become much more associated with Thousand Islet Lake in Zhejiang province, because the fish farmed there can grow to crazy large sizes, the large ones potentially over 5kg for just the head.

The two should not be combined unless you want to create an article detailing all different kinds of fish head dishes in China, which there are many. Most famously chopped chili peppers fish head 剁椒鱼头 from Hunan province(aka Xiang cuisine).

I'm not a wiki editor, just here to point out this is a poorly created mess by someone who had no idea what is what. Should've gotten rid of it 12 years ago as the other talking points here said. 1.64.35.139 (talk) 22:46, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
