Selection method of hairtail

1, the choice of fresh hairtail mainly depends on whether the gills of the fish are bright red, and the brighter the gills, the fresher they are. See if the silvery scales on the fish (hairtail actually has no scales) have fallen off. If it falls off, it will not be fresh. Fish gills are one of the most important evidences to tell how long after a fish dies. The fresher the fish gills are, the redder they will be, because the blood is still bright red.

2, choose the region, China's East China Sea hairtail is better, the head is relatively narrow, do not want that kind of head width. The tail should be slender, and there must be no joints like beads on the back. It's a foreign hairtail, commonly known as Korean hairtail, which tastes bad. China's mountains and rivers are easy to raise, and the fish are big and fat, but foreign countries are not so delicious.
