The fish bones are less fleshy and tender. After being frozen, except for a bit more fishy than the fresh ones, the meat quality has not changed much. This allows people in the inland to enjoy the blessings of the sea at any time.

Because of the environment, I grew up eating frozen octopus. In the past few decades, the most eaten is braised octopus, so I have tried various braised methods. Today’s method of wrapping egg liquid has a good effect to remove fishy and freshness. The fish-flavored eggs are fragrant, and it makes people drooling just after frying. My mother loves this.

The egg liquid left over after the octopus was poured into the pot, suddenly, the egg liquid rolled up, and the whole pot was golden and beautiful. But the egg is also easy to absorb the taste. If it is stewed with the sauce, the salty taste will be absorbed by it, and the fish will be weak, so you can temporarily take out the egg pieces and put them in the pot before starting the pot to absorb a little The soup didn't feel so "swift" and panicked.

In addition, the silver powder on the surface of the hairtail is actually the degraded scales of the hairtail. It is rich in lecithin and unsaturated fatty acids, which is beneficial but not harmful to the body. Someone "hiccups" it and scrapes it all off. This depends on my personal preference. Scraping the silver scales not only loses nutrition, but also leaves the fish in a loose state, which affects the appearance.

As for whether the fish should be cut or not, it depends on personal preference. If you want to quickly and fully taste, you can cut two knives, but when you cut the flower knife, the fish bones will be cut off, which increases the difficulty of eating, especially for children or elderly people with bad teeth. It is easy to miss the broken thorns. It is also dangerous to accidentally get stuck.
