How to choose fresh delicious roe fish
- Choose roe fish that are round and plump, as they will taste much better than those that are long and flat because they may have been frozen for a long time, making the fish meat no longer firm and tasty.
- Roe fish are not found in Vietnam but are imported from abroad, so you need to carefully check the information on the packaging such as origin, expiry date,… to avoid counterfeit goods.
- To ensure you buy quality roe fish, you should purchase them at imported food stores or reputable large supermarkets nationwide.
Some tips for frying fish without oil splatter:
- The fish must be dry and not wet when frying.
- When frying fish, heat the pan, rub a piece of ginger evenly on the bottom of the pan, then add cooking oil and a little salt, heat the oil until it’s hot before adding the fish to fry. Ginger and salt help firm up the fish to prevent it from breaking apart and reduce sticking to the pan.
- Fry the fish with plenty of oil, submerging the fish body so that it cooks evenly and becomes crispy all over.
- Do not fry the fish over too high a flame, as this will cause the fish to dry out, burning the outside while the inside remains uncooked.
- Wait for the fish to turn golden brown and firm up before flipping it. Do not use chopsticks to flip it multiple times as this will cause the fish to break apart.
- It is best to use a non-stick pan for frying fish.
