Overview

Crucian carp is delicious and a common home-cooked dish. It is relatively warm and tonic. Compared with large crucian carp, small crucian carp has a smoother texture and is easier to absorb during the cooking process. The fried crucian carp has a brown skin and is cooked in the soup. The aroma permeates the entire fish body, and those small spines can almost be ignored. The spicy sauce with a burnt aroma and mellow flavor should not be eaten too much. The cooking method of the home-cooked version is different from that of restaurants. Readers often say that fish must be deep-fried before it is delicious. However, it is not recommended to reuse the fried oil because it has a high risk of curing cancer. After a meal, there is a large pot of oil left and has to be thrown away. The whole house is filled with the smell of oil smoke. It is better to go out for a meal. Don't you think so?
