Among the dazzling array of seafood, hairtail is one of the common marine fish, which can be seen all year round. Hairtail is a deep-sea fish and one of the seafood that cannot be kept at present. Compared with the octopus in other seasons, the octopus in winter is in season. The octopus in this season is particularly plump, the meat is tender and the fishy smell is small. Don't miss it when you encounter it at the vegetable market. It is especially delicious when you buy it for fried or cooked octopus porridge.
My deepest impression of hairtail was when I first learned to buy vegetables. Because I didn’t know how to choose hairtail, I asked the fish vendor to help me choose a few large hairtails. I didn’t expect the hairtails to look smooth and fresh in appearance. The cooked octopus not only has a strong fishy smell, but also has a special texture.
specially consulted an old fisherman from my neighbor for this purpose, only to realize that not every kind of hairtail can be bought, and the wrong taste is much worse. When buying hairtails, don't buy them when you encounter the following three kinds of hairtails. The fishy smell is heavy and the taste is bad. Fish vendors don't eat them.
1. Hairtail with damaged skin and incomplete fish. Do not buy fresh hairtail with
. The whole fish is intact. If the skin and belly are severely damaged, the eyes are yellow and dull, the gills are black and the smell is strong, and it smells fishy. Don't buy this kind of hairtail if it smells particularly strong.
2. Do not buy hairtails that are too bright and smooth.
In the process of fishing hairtails, due to friction between the hairtails and the nets, the skins of the hairtails will be slightly broken or worn, and some fish vendors do To make the hairtail look brighter, it will be soaked in a potion to make the hairtail look smoother and brighter.
3. Do not buy hairtails that do not lose scales.
hairtails seem to have no scales, but they do have scales. There is a layer of silver-white fat on the surface of hairtail, which is called silver fat.

This kind of hairtail has a small fishy smell, a more tender meat and a more delicate taste.
is another species from Hainan. One of these hairtails weighs a catty, or even a few catties. This kind of hairtail has a heavy fishy smell and a slightly chaotic taste. If the hairtail bought by
is not cooked in time, remove the head, remove the gills and belly of the hairtail, cut into small pieces, do not wash, put the amount in a fresh-keeping bag, put it in the refrigerator, and keep it for several months. It won't be bad, you can just take it out in advance and thaw it when you want to eat it, which is very convenient.
