Put hairtail in a large, deep basin, remove internal organs and gills. If frying, you can cut off fins and fish tails with scissors, and then wash them with clean water. Put it in a large basin to clean hairtail, so it is not easy to splash fish blood and other impurities on clothes and the ground, which is cleaner and more convenient.

Hairtail is fishy and greasy, so it is difficult to wash it with clean water. Simply wash the preliminarily treated hairtail with warm water (about 70 degrees). The steps are to put hairtail in warm water for 20 seconds, then quickly remove it and put it in cold water for washing. It must not be placed in warm water for too long, and the washing speed should be fast.

Rinsing with warm boiled water can only wash off the impurities and sticky things on hairtail, and never wash off all the scales, because the scales and silvery white grease layer of hairtail also contain an anticancer component-6-thioguanine, which is beneficial for adjuvant treatment of leukemia, gastric cancer and lymphomas.

If you are afraid of the fishy smell of hairtail, you don't need to wash it with warm water. Just soak it in alkaline water (the alkaline water is a little bit, not too thick, and if it is too thick, the scales and silvery grease layer on hairtail are easy to wash off), and then wash it with clean water, which will be easy to wash and have no fishy smell.

If the hairtail cleaned by the above method is still dirty and fishy, it can be simply and gently scrubbed with rice washing water, which can not only clean the fish, but also avoid the fish scales from being too fishy.
