Is this fish stew method okay?

No problem, you can.

Warm Tips:

Before cutting the fish into pieces, you can use a knife to make two slits 1CM below the fish head and 2-3CM above the fish tail to separate the fishy lines. Taking it out can properly remove a little fishy smell, but the effect is not too big. If you find it troublesome, you don’t need to remove it.

For those who like spicy food, you can add more dried chili peppers when frying.

Many people like to add Sichuan peppercorns no matter what they cook. I would like to remind everyone that you do not need to add Sichuan peppercorns when stewing fish. Although Sichuan peppercorns can enhance the flavor, if they are stewed with fish, the fish will become fishier as it is stewed. It doesn't taste good yet.

The fish needs to be stewed for a longer time to taste better, so add enough water at one time and don’t add it again halfway, otherwise the taste will be different.

Finally, I would like to remind everyone that when stewing fish, be sure not to cover the pot with a lid. Many people like to stew with a lid on the pot when stewing fish. They think that the fish stewed in this way is more delicious. In fact, it is wrong. Cover it. Stewing fish with a lid on the pot will only make the fish fishier and fishier as it stews.
