How to cook sweet and sour yellow croaker

1. Wash the fish first and remove the scales and internal organs.

3. Heat the oil in a pan until it is 70% hot. Hold the fish tail in your hand, fry the fish head first, then slowly put the fish body into the oil and fry.

4. When one side is shaped, turn it over and fry again.

5. When both sides are fried until golden brown, remove from the pan and place on a plate for later use.

6. Chop ginger, onion and garlic into fine pieces.
