A dish that surprises foreigners, this thing is not "food" at all, the Chinese have turned decadence into a miracle!

The breadth and depth of Chinese cuisine, many things that foreigners think are not suitable for food, have become one after another exquisite delicacy under the hands of Chinese chefs. Take fish as an example. Foreigners generally eat marine fish, and the smell of freshwater fish makes them unacceptable. However, under the pressure of onion, ginger and garlic, freshwater fish can also become a classic ingredient in inland areas of our country.

Even the scales on fish are just a kind of smelly garbage in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of those who love to cook, fish scales are also a delicious food.

I am afraid that not only foreigners did not expect it, but even some Chinese did not expect fish scales to be edible. There may not be many scales on a fish, but the scales of several fishes are gathered together to make a dish.

You may want to ask: What we always eat is fish, can this fish scale be eaten?
Of course, it is not only delicious, but also has high nutritional value.

There is a proverb in Baiyangdian called "No feast without fish, no feast without chicken", which shows the local people's preference for fish. In fact, the people here not only eat good fish, but they also eat well and have a lot of tricks. In addition to cooking in a variety of ways, the chefs can even make delicious dishes with fish scales. The most famous of these is the fried fish scales.
Of course, all kinds of scales are edible, but if you can choose, it is best to choose large carp scales.

The fried fish scales are golden and crisp, sprinkled with salt and pepper or chili noodles, it tastes very crispy. If you really want to find any snacks to compare, the taste is a bit like wonderful crispy corners. It's just thinner and crispier than the Miao crispy corner, and it doesn't taste the fishy smell. Fish scales contain more lecithin. This substance has the effect of enhancing memory and delaying aging. The unsaturated fatty acids in fish scales can accelerate the metabolism of cholesterol. The calcium and phosphorous elements of fish scales are all trace elements needed by the human body, especially calcium, which is quite good for children who are developing and the elderly who are prone to osteoporosis. It’s also great to serve as a snack for children or drink for the elderly.

Every winter I make a plate every three to five, because my dad likes to eat very much, saying that it is better than peanuts and wine.

Tips:

The fish scales can be fried directly, but I was worried that there would be a fishy smell, so I blanched it again, so that the fried fish scales really can't taste any fishy smell!
When fish scales are taken out, the water must be controlled dry, so that you don't have too much flour. The thinner the flour, the crisper the fried taste.
