Tips:
Tips: 1. The washed small yellow croaker does not need too much salt when marinating, because the fish itself has salt. After marinating, be sure to control the excess fishy soup, the fried fish with too much moisture will not be crispy. Control the oil temperature to deep-fry the fish. The salt is left over when marinating and stirring the batter. When serving on the table, you only need to dip a little salt and pepper. The amount can be decided according to personal taste.
