Crispy fried fish scales
Overview
I have long known that fish scales are edible and very nutritious, but I have never tried them. I won’t say much about its nutrition and efficacy here. I believe everyone knows about it. If you don’t know, please search it on Baidu. This time I accidentally got a large grass carp as a gift from a friend. It must have weighed more than 10 kilograms at least. It had big scales and was clean. I thought it would be a waste to lose it, so I decided to keep it and give it a try. Unexpectedly, the effect exceeded my imagination. It was very delicious and my son loved it. So it seems that I still need to try more. Isn’t this an unexpected gain, haha...

Ingredients
Steps
-
First, rinse the fish scales thoroughly. You can add some cooking wine and salt to scrub them to remove the fishy smell. Drain the water and put it in a basin. Add two tablespoons of flour, one egg, appropriate amounts of salt, allspice, and pepper, and light soy sauce or a little oil.
-
First use chopsticks to mix well, then put on gloves and mix thoroughly with your hands so that each fish scale is coated with the slurry and leave to taste.
-
Heat oil in a pot.
-
When the oil is 60% hot, carefully add the fish scales. The fish scales will roll up after being put into the hot oil, so don't worry about them turning into lumps. Just use chopsticks to stir them a little after putting them in the pot.
-
Fry until golden brown and start cooking.
-
The fried fish scales are very crispy, and it tastes better if the flavor is well adjusted. I took it out to take pictures and my son was eating it while he was there.
