braised hairtail

Perhaps it was because I lived in the north since I was a child that I never knew how to cook fish, and even if I did, it was the simplest kind.
I didn't like to eat fish when I was a child. Maybe it was because I ate fish since I was a child, or because the smell of fish was too strong. Later, I gradually adapted to it, but I was limited to eating fish while eating vegetables. If I ate rice, the fish would not move a chopstick. Moreover, the bowl should not be stained with fish soup, even a little bit. If there is that fishy smell, you will not want to eat the rice.

Until now, I prefer to eat fish, but I still can't enjoy fish soup and rice. No matter how delicious the soup is, I can drink it, but rice is fine.

When it comes to making fish, it is natural to wash fish. In the past thirty years, I have washed fish no more than three times. One is because the smell of fish is so strong, and the other is that he seems to be afraid of all kinds of animals since he was a child. Whether it is chickens, ducks, or fish, they don't like to wash them. Nowadays, if you want to cook fish at home, the leaders always wash it. If the leaders don't wash it, they have to not eat it.

Speaking of hairtail, perhaps it is the habit of northerners to eat. They always scrape off the layer of silver-white things on the hairtail. No matter what method is used, this is the case when my father washed the fish, so there is a little silver-white on the hairtail. You can't see anything. In fact, it is the oil of hairtail, which is very nutritious. Even if I said this, when washing the fish, my father still cleaned it off as usual.

I don't like to wash fish, let alone smell the smell of fish. However, if the fish is cooked well, I can eat it, but my favorite fish is hairtail.
I forget when I first ate fish. I only remember when I was a child, my neighbor cooked fish. The neighbor's family has always been on the poverty line and always lived a life of hunger and food. Later, life gradually improved, and they bought chickens and fish during the New Year. When I was a child, you would come to my house to play, and I would go to your house to play, even at meal time. Smell the aroma of fish in my house, the child next door said that the fish is not delicious at all, and no one listens to our fish. After hearing this, we felt very surprised. Thinking about life with a full meal, as long as we can solve the stomach problem, why are we picky?
Later, I learned that they killed the fish and just took out the contents of their stomachs and washed it. The fish gills were still there, so they put them on a plate, put salt, pepper noodles, and fish in a pot to steam them. In the past, northerners had strong tastes, so naturally no one would eat the fish made in this way.

In the past, people in the village had never eaten much fish. Every year when the reservoir was released water, there were many silver carp, carp, catfish, etc. in the river. Hard-working people went to the river to fish. Your family fished a basket and my family fished a basket. We have it, but we can't do it. The fish can only be washed and steamed with the seasonings at home, or put them in a pot with some salt, soy sauce, and monosodium glutamate to boil them, or put them on a drawer, still put these three seasonings, and steamed them. Those who are in better conditions at home, or who are willing to eat, put them in a frying pan and eat them. Northerners have strong tastes. Whether it is boiled or steamed, they feel that the fishy smell of fish is too strong to enjoy. They think there is nothing delicious about fish. Pork is still affordable and can be eaten in large gulps without any fishy smell. The important thing is that it can be fried, steamed, boiled, fried, etc., and the important thing is that it can also be served with a lot of vegetables. A small piece of meat is enough for a large family to eat. But fish, you really can't find the delicacy that foreigners say.
