Braised hairtail with onions

Overview

Hairtail fish, also known as bandfish and toothed hairtail fish, belongs to the order Perciformes and the hairtail family. Hairtail contains more unsaturated fatty acids, and the fatty acid carbon chain is longer, which can lower cholesterol. It is an ideal nourishing food for the elderly, children, and pregnant women. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it can harmonize the appetite, warm the stomach and replenish deficiency, as well as moisturize the skin and beautify the skin. However, people suffering from sores and scabies should eat less. I went to the market a few days ago and bought two hairtail fish. Braised a large one and a small one. I happened to have an onion at home to cook with it, so I had both meat and vegetables.
