Looks good and still frozen. Will try these deedp fried.

I liked the cooking method. The fry were evenly distributed and fresh because the flesh didn't rot when I cleaned them. However, the fish head felt hard, like it contained sand, unlike the soft texture of the lotus root fish. Perhaps I cooked it incorrectly. Anyway, the fish was really good, and I shared it with my friends.
