Some people find it impossible to judge the batter. I will teach you a way to observe the thickness of the batter. Dip a small yellow croaker into the batter to see how much batter is on the fish and what kind of batter you need to hang. You can adjust the thickness of the batter based on this
5.
The oil in the pot is 60% hot, add the small yellow croaker dipped in the batter, do not stir the fish, when the fish is set, turn it
6.
When the fish in the pot is shaped, take it out and re-fry. The purpose of the re-fry is to make the fish skin crisper.

This is after re-fried, the color is golden, the outer skin is very crisp

Tips:
The thinness of the batter determines the amount of batter on the fish. If you are not sure, you can use a fish to dip the batter to observe. When the fish is first fried, the oil temperature is 60% hot, and when it is re-fried, the oil temperature is a little higher, and it can be out of the pan after 30 seconds.
