Croaker is one of my favorite fish. Always good to fry and very tasty

thank you so much

The portion was generous, but the food wasn't particularly fresh.
铃铛
Looks good and still frozen. Will try these deedp fried.
King
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.

Made in China, this is a small quantity, made with yellow croaker. The croakers are headless and gutted, so they are relatively intact. They vary in size and have a crispy, fragrant texture with minimal fishy taste and a slightly sweet flavor. Although deboned, there are still some small bones, so it's best not to feed them to young children. Please feel free to add this to your cart from my video. Thank you for your support!
