Grilled crispy fried moss strips

Overview

Water Arowana - The first time I ate this fish was on a trip to Wenzhou. Wenzhou is close to the sea and has a rich variety of seafood. The water dragon fish we ate at that time was cut into sections and then fried in moss strips. The fried fish was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and full of flavor, so it left a deep impression. Later, I looked for this kind of fish in Shanghai's food markets, but never found it. Until one time I saw a fish called dragon head grilled fish. According to the stall owner, it was water dragon fish. So I bought it and fried it according to the method in memory. The taste was exactly the same. I was really surprised.
