Seabass not only has high nutritional value, but also has tender meat, making it very popular among people. During the process of selecting sea bass, we found that the belly of sea bass may be round or flat, so we need to pay special attention here.

Lighter and tastes better. At the same time, fish oil contains a large amount of cholesterol, which can cause damage to health. Some people may say that when I clean it, I just need to clean off the oil, but the market price of sea bass is not cheap. After cleaning the oil, the weight of the fish will be reduced, which is a waste of money.
