Hello, I think fried hairtail can be cooked through the following steps to keep it crispy and tender while removing the fishy smell: Prepare hairtail: Choose fresh hairtail, clean it and remove the internal organs.

Cut the hairtail fish into pieces suitable for frying.

Marinate: Put the hairtail pieces into a container, add appropriate amount of salt, ginger powder and cooking wine to marinate.

Marinate for about 15-20 minutes to allow the seasoning to penetrate into the fish.

Drying: Place the marinated hairtail pieces in a ventilated place to dry, or use a hair dryer to dry the surface moisture.

This step helps the fish absorb the fried fish meal better and reduces the possibility of oil splashing.

Fried fish meal: Prepare a bowl of fried fish meal, which can be bought in the supermarket or homemade.

Coat the hairtail pieces evenly with the fried fish meal, making sure every part is covered.

Hot frying: Pour enough cooking oil into the pot and heat to appropriate temperature (about 180°C).

Add the fish meal-coated hairtail pieces into the oil and flip carefully until both sides are golden and crispy.

Drain the oil: Take out the fried hairtail pieces and place them on kitchen paper towels to drain the excess oil.

Seasoning: You can sprinkle some salt, pepper or other seasonings to add flavor according to your personal taste.

Serve and enjoy: Arrange the fried hairtail pieces on a plate and serve with dips or side dishes.

By following the above steps, you can cook crispy, tender and fishy fried hairtail.

Remember to control the oil temperature and time to avoid over-frying to maintain the tenderness of the fish.
