Tips:
1. Yellow croaker is easy to break when fried, so try to fry it on one side until it is crispy and then turn the other side;
2. The fish should be fried with more oil, so that the fish can be deep-fried by low-fire fry, and the fish will taste good when it is marinated later;
3. I didn't write the amount of ingredients this time, because everyone has different tastes, you can taste it yourself while preparing the soup, and then add salt or sugar according to your preference;
4. The marinated yellow croaker can be eaten without heating.
