Crucian carp stewed with tofu

Overview

My mother-in-law's neighbor is a new fishing fan. She likes sea fishing, river fishing, and everything. That day, he brought his mother-in-law a small crucian carp caught in the river. Because we rarely eat river fish in the local area, he couldn't cook it, and neither could her mother-in-law. My mother-in-law washed the fish, gutted it and removed the impurities, and gave it to me again. I took it home and threw it directly into the freezer, because I had never cooked this river fish before and was really not sure. That day, I thought of using tofu, because I often add tofu when stewing sea fish. I guess it can also be used for river fish.
