When I went to the supermarket today, I saw that the chilled hairtail was only 19 yuan and 8 kg, which was a lot cheaper. I picked a large one, which was more than 2 kg. You can make two plates. I will have a steamed one at noon. Many people think that hairtail is too fishy, so you must use braised or sweet and sour methods to cover up the fishy smell. In fact, as long as the hairtail is handled well, the steamed method will be better. It only takes a few simple steps, it is fresh and tender, and it is surprisingly delicious. It will be a CD-ROM after serving it for a while. The steamed method can also preserve the nutrition of the hairtail, the original flavor, and it is very enjoyable to eat.
If we want to keep fish from being fishy, we need to remove the internal organs from the belly of the hairtail, and also clean the black film on the belly and the blood on the side of the bones. As for the silver fish scales, our hairtail has always been reserved because it is not a scale, but a layer of skin formed by special fat, called "silver fat". It is a high-quality fat with high nutritional value, which is good for the body. There are great benefits, so you don’t have to worry about whether to scrape the scales. After processing the hairtail, we have to soak it in beer for a while, so that the steamed hairtail will not have a fishy smell. The seemingly complicated steamed octopus, the method is very simple, you can learn it after reading it, friends who like to eat fish, hurry up and collect it! After learning a good method of steaming octopus, it can be used for a lifetime, and there is no need to worry about the steamed octopus.

4. Cut the remaining green onion into sections, slice the ginger, spread on a plate, and then put the octopus.

Tip: Place the green onion and ginger slices on the plate to form gaps. The two sides of the fish will be heated more evenly, and the steamed fish will be more tender.

5. Boil water in a steamer, add the octopus, and steam for about 12 minutes on high heat.

Tip: Be sure to boil water in the pot, and then steam the fish on a high fire. The time is determined by the firepower and the size of the fish. Do not exceed 15 minutes. Steaming for too long will affect the taste of the fish.
