Excessive freezing time: when the flesh of opium fish is frozen for too long, the water in the fish will freeze and form ice crystals. The longer the time, the larger the ice crystals become, destroying the fiber structure of the fish and causing it to fall apart easily. You can choose fresh fish for cooking.
Inadequate defrosting: The temperature of the flesh of the opilio can rise rapidly during defrosting if it is subjected to excessive temperature changes or external forces, such as the use of hot water to defrost, which can cause the flesh to fall apart. You can thaw opilio by hanging it in a room at a room temperature of 10-15 degrees, or thaw it in the refrigerator freezer one night in advance.
