We like sweet and sour octopus more here, it's a home-cooked dish. The fat content of hairtail is higher than that of ordinary fish, and most of them are unsaturated fatty acids. This fatty acid has a longer carbon chain and has the effect of lowering cholesterol. The scales and silver-white oil layer of the hairtail also contain an anti-cancer component-6-thioguanine, which is beneficial for the adjuvant treatment of leukemia, gastric cancer, and lymphoma. Regular consumption of hairtail has the effect of nourishing the five internal organs. Hairtail is rich in magnesium, which has a good protective effect on the cardiovascular system and is beneficial to prevent cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and myocardial infarction. Eating hairtail often has the effects of nourishing liver and blood, nourishing skin and nourishing hair.
The fish has a strong smell and is not suitable for steaming. Braised in brown sauce or sweet and sour is better. People suffering from skin diseases such as scabies and eczema or skin allergies should eat with caution and should not eat too much at one time. If you buy the hairtail and you can’t finish it, it’s best to put the whole hairtail into the freezer with a fresh-keeping bag to keep the hairtail fresh, and the meat will be more tender next time you want to eat it.
