Fried spring fish
Overview
Today I made a fried pomfret dish. Pork fish is a deep-sea fish belonging to the order Smeltidae. It is native to Japan. It is named after the roe in its belly year-round. The nutritional value of spring fish is very high. Children can improve their eyesight after eating it, and the fish roe contains trace elements, mineral salts, proteins, etc. needed by the skin. In the past, when I deep-fried small fish, I would directly pat it into powder and deep-fry it. The surface was crispy, but last time I made spring fish, the belly of the fish exploded when fried like this. The fish roe was scattered everywhere, and it almost collapsed on the face, so this time I wrapped it in batter and fried it. The effect is good, not only will it not explode, but because the batter ratio is right, the surface will be crispy and crispy after frying, which is very delicious. You really don’t know until you try it, it turns out that the batter has a unique flavor. This fish is especially crispy when eaten hot. Even if the surface becomes soft after cooling, you can still occasionally chew the crispy batter when eating. There is no need to disembowel the pomfret. I also invented a little trick this time. I hooked the gills with a crochet hook that I had not used for a long time and pulled it out. Even the intestines and gills came out, which was very convenient.
