First, how to clean hairtail

Tools: a long board, a pair of scissors, a short snake belt, or a cleaning ball (silk) for washing pots.

1. Break the thin ice on the surface.

2. In the process of washing frozen hairtail, a lot of water will be mixed into the washed fish scales, which is very dirty. If you do it on the panel, dirty water will flow everywhere and make the kitchen dirty. Put the frozen fish in a long plate, and the dirty water will not flow everywhere.

Then brush the fish with a short snake belt or a cleaning ball (silk) that brushes the pot. Don't push too hard, or the fish will be cut off.

3. After the fish is washed, cut off the fins with scissors. Never cut the fins after washing the fish, or the cut fins will be sharp and hurt yourself. Also, be careful when washing hairtail teeth, which are also very sharp.

4. Finally, handle the belly, head and tail of hairtail.

The hairtail has a small eye in its abdomen, which is easy to find. It is black. Scissors cut off the abdomen and fish head in one breath from there, and then cleaned the internal organs and the black membrane inside the abdomen. There is also a thick blood vessel near the fishbone in the abdomen. Just swipe your finger directly from beginning to end. It runs through the fish and only cuts off that part of the abdomen.

6. Finally, the finishing touch. Put the washed fish in a clean basin, add warm water, let it soak for a while, and then rinse the washed hairtail. It's OK to feel clean!
