Tips:

1. We seldom eat fresh hairtail that has just been fished from the sea. The white material on the surface of the hairtail will be oxidized during transportation, so it is best to remove it when eating;
2. Thin powder must be used when the hairtail is wrapped in starch;
3. When steaming fish, the water in the pot must be boiled before putting the fish, steaming it for 5-7 minutes;
4. If you buy fresh hairtail just caught, you can omit all the previous processes, just wash and cut into sections and steam it directly in the pot.
