The steps for making garlic fish at home are as follows:

Ingredients: fish, garlic, ginger and scallions, cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, salt, chicken essence, chili oil, etc.

1. Remove the scales, internal organs, head and tail of the fish, wash it and put it into a basin.

2. Cut the garlic, ginger, and green onion into minced pieces respectively, put them into a bowl, add cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, salt, chicken essence, and chili oil and mix well to make garlic sauce.

3. Pour an appropriate amount of water into the pot, add onion, ginger, and cooking wine, bring to a boil, and add the processed fish to remove the fishy smell.

4. Boil the pot again for eight minutes and add 5 grams of salt. Adding salt at this time can allow the fish to take in the flavor. Continue cooking for another two minutes until the fish is cooked through.

5. Take out the whole fish, drain it a little, put it on a plate, and use a spoon to evenly spoon the juice on top of the fish.

6. Finally, pour the hot oil on the fish. After the oil is overheated, the minced garlic will be cooked and taste fragrant without fishy smell.
