After soaking in oil once, the batter dries out. This is when the batter absorbs oil. Therefore, it is necessary to pick up the hairtail to prevent it from absorbing too much oil and causing it to become greasy. But the oil temperature should not be too high to prevent the batter from burning.
The oil temperature for the second frying is higher to allow the hairtail to be cooked quickly and thoroughly. Because the hairtail is well-shaped and the knife has been modified, the hairtail can be fried quickly at a high temperature.
