First of all, skin thickness
Piranha has a thick skin. If you cook it like this, the piranha will definitely not taste good. People in coastal areas are still like this, and inland people don't know how to cook. Therefore, after being caught, piranha will be disposed of by experienced fishermen, removing the head, viscera and skin. It's normal that people can't see the piranha's head.
Second, reduce the cost.
The head, skin and internal organs of piranha are all inedible parts, but these things can account for more than one book of piranha. Therefore, experienced fishermen usually remove these parts to reduce costs. You know, the cost of transporting it from coastal areas to inland areas is not low. If you can't eat less, you can earn more money, and it's easy for people to buy it and cook. Why not?
Third, it's ugly.
Squirrel fish, looks like a little mouse. Moreover, piranhas belong to deep-sea fish, which are basically ugly, and piranhas are no exception. If you don't handle it properly, it's easy to get sick.
Although piranha is ugly and thick-skinned, its meat is extremely delicious and melts in the mouth, which is one of the essential ingredients of hot pot.
