1, clean the fresh hairtail bought and put it in the refrigerator for a while, so that hairtail can be handled easily.

2. Cut off the ridge, tail and fins.

3. There is a small hole in the upper abdomen of hairtail, which can be seen by naked eyes. Cut it from the small hole to the place close to the fish tail with scissors, and clean the intestines in the belly of the fish, and clean up the black film inside.

4. Tear off the gills of the fish, cut off the fish head obliquely, cut the whole fish into sections with uniform size, and rinse it with clear water again, so you can make hairtail according to your own cooking method.

Precautions for washing hairtail:

1, never use hot water of about 75 degrees when washing hairtail, because the scales will melt when they meet hot water of 75 degrees.

2. Try to be careful when washing hairtail. Don't drop the hairtail scales, and don't scratch the silver scales intentionally.

The silver scales on the body surface of hairtail have high nutritional value, but at the same time, they also have a heavy fishy smell. This layer of silver scales will be slowly oxidized when exposed to air for a long time, and the oxidized silver scales will turn yellow and have a "spicy taste". Such fish scales are no longer edible, so try to wash them off when washing hairtail.
