The mountain people often remove the gills, squeeze out the intestines and dirt of the caught mountain stream fish, and then wash them and prepare them for cooking. Most of them do not need to be scaled. Marinate the cleaned mountain stream fish with pepper, white wine and salt for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, chop up a handful of fresh chilies and set aside.
