【Zhejiang】Mom’s private hairtail fish

Overview

When I was little, my mother would fry a large plate of hairtail during the Chinese New Year and soak it in a sweet and sour sauce. The skin would be crispy and fragrant, and the fish meat would be fragrant with a sweet and sour juice when you bite into it. It would be delicious to go with wine or as a snack.
