What treatment, cleaning and pickling should be done before hairtail frying?

Stir-fried hairtail seems simple, but it's not good, either it's not delicious or it stinks. Why is this happening? Because many people fry directly, the key step is pickling. Meat and fish need to be marinated before frying, otherwise they will be fishy and tasteless.

No matter what kind of fish, whole fish or fried fish pieces, it is wrong to fry them directly. If you do this more, the fish will be crispy outside and tender inside, and the taste will not be fishy. When I was young, there were many wild fish in the river. Grandpa often catches a fish basket. There are small fish and big fish. Grandma wrapped the small fish in flour and fried it. Even the bones are crisp and fragrant.

The purpose of pickling hairtail is frying and frying, which is convenient for subsequent production. Let me give you a long speech.

Clean hairtail (pay attention to the fine scales on the body), pay attention to remove a layer of black film on the viscera and stomach of hairtail, tear it off, take a small pot, add water and white wine before hairtail, don't make soju, a few bottles are real, put onion and ginger slices, add salt, soak for 30 minutes and take it out. This is to remove the fishy smell and add auxiliary flavor. Here are two examples:

After removing fishy smell from hairtail, drain the water slightly, add Thai fish sauce and soy sauce (not too much, too dark), and then add some onions, ginger and salt. This is a home-cooked dish.

After removing fishy smell from hairtail, drain it with onion, ginger, thirteen spices, salt, vodka or brandy, and sprinkle with cumin, thyme or rosemary. This is hotel style.

Cooking hairtail is very particular. First of all, collect the bought hairtail, cut it into appropriate parts, and marinate it with seafood soy sauce, white pepper, garlic foam, rice vinegar and white wine for half an hour, which consumes less oil. When frying hairtail, be sure to wrap it in eggs, or it will break when frying. After frying, pour the oil out of the pot, or add the minced onion and ginger. People who like spicy food can fry two small red peppers together, put the fried hairtail in a pot until the onion and ginger are fragrant, add a few cloves of garlic, pour a little rice vinegar, add some cooking wine or white wine, add a spoonful of white sugar, add soy sauce and salt, if you like hairtail with a little meaty taste, add one or half cloves of star anise, don't put too much, don't let the taste of star anise rob the taste of fish, and finally add a proper amount.

I hope it helps you. Thank you for inviting me to answer.
