Fried mackerel marinated in lemongrass and chili is delicious! But preparing the fish is a bit laborious

The fish is fresh and delicious.

The yellow croaker is big, so there is plenty to eat. I sprinkled it with salt, grilled it, and enjoyed it.
weee.15811741
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.
Jong jineDi
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.

I liked the cooking method. The fry were evenly distributed and fresh because the flesh didn't rot when I cleaned them. However, the fish head felt hard, like it contained sand, unlike the soft texture of the lotus root fish. Perhaps I cooked it incorrectly. Anyway, the fish was really good, and I shared it with my friends.
