Boiled catfish

Boiled catfish
This dish was cooked on the evening of the 10.1st on the day of the photo shoot. Because the light was not very good at night, I was conflicted about whether to pass it on. After thinking about it, I decided to pass it on, so everyone can make do with it! Make sure to improve next time and never take photos at night!
