Tips:
1) When frying the fish, dry both sides with a napkin and sprinkle the flour evenly so that it will not stick to the pan when it is placed in the pan. 2) If there is no Huadiao wine, use cooking wine instead, but I think the taste of Huadiao wine is relatively strong. 3) During the firing process, turn it over without interruption, or use a spatula to gently move it so as not to paste the bottom of the pot. 4) When buying seabass, choose fresh ones, try to pick the seabass with pink horns and gills, and the fish eyes do not collapse, and the fish eyes bulge upward. You can also choose other species such as carp and black fish according to your preferences.
