Toothpick Hairtail

Overview

Usually people stew hairtail or braise it in braised fish, but you still have to be careful about the spines on the fish when eating, especially children or the elderly who are easily stung by fish bones. Today, the toothpick hairtail fish I made not only doesn’t have to worry about the fish bones, but we can even eat the bones. The fish bones are rich in calcium. How can we throw away such nutrients? Because the hairtail meat has no fish bones, the elderly and children can eat fish with confidence. This method prevents the hairtail from being wasted at all, and it is also a way to save money. Let’s learn with me below.
