When cooking pig's trotters, blanch them. When blanching, put a few pieces of dried tangerine peel and a dozen peppers, and then pour a spoonful of white vinegar to remove the fishy smell of pig's trotters. If the fishy smell is still not removed, the fishy smell of pig's trotters can be completely removed by pouring a bowl of pepper water soaked with pepper during cooking.
The "nemesis" of the fishy smell of pig's trotters is pepper. No matter how you cook pig's trotters, add a handful when you blanch them. The meat is tender and odorless.

The Book of Bamboo and Pig's Feet
According to legend, from the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination met with his Jinshi. In the future, if one of them became a general, he would ask the calligraphers of the same clan to write the Wild Goose Pagoda in Zhu Shu (red pen). From then on, whenever someone rushed for the exam, relatives and friends gave him pig's trotters. "Pig" is homophonic with Zhu, and "hoof" is homophonic with the title. The original intention of giving pig's trotters is: I hope to be a champion, a candidate, become a relative and write the title of Zhu Shu.
