The yellow croaker is big, so there is plenty to eat. I sprinkled it with salt, grilled it, and enjoyed it.

It's an unprocessed fish; you'll need to process it yourself. Even when braised, it still has a slightly fishy smell, which is especially noticeable to those who dislike fishy odors.

The large yellow croakers (scaled and gill-removed) that I used to sell were always out of stock, so I had to try these smaller ones. Actually, they weren't exactly cheap. Three of them weighed just over a pound. I steamed them tonight, and they tasted pretty good, but cleaning them was a bit of a hassle. I hope the original large yellow croakers will be back on the shelves soon.

If you are sensitive, please trim it again before grilling! It is convenient to brush with olive oil and grill in an air fryer.

You have to clean them. Some have scales, and some don't. I grilled them until golden brown and enjoyed them. They are the size of the yellow croaker served as a side dish at restaurants. They are small, so we each eat two.

everything tastes better when deep fried. the fish is already somewhat salted, so add salt accordingly.

This is the first time I've seen salty dried yellow croaker. It's fragrant and clean, and there are many ways to cook it. Steaming, stir-frying dried yellow croaker with edamame, and braising dried yellow croaker with pork belly are all delicious dishes...
