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.

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...
