Appendix: Method:

1. Slit it open and clean out the innards, do the preparatory work, then make a cut on both sides of the fish body from head to tail; it should be somewhat deep, preferably reaching the position of the fish bone. Then marinate it with rose sea salt for twenty minutes.

2. Turn it over and continue to add salt. The biggest advantage of this fish is that it has few bones. There is one large main bone, and the rest is meat. It is not as fishy as saury, and it does not have too much fat.

3. Put the marinated fish into a preheated oven at 200 degrees for 25 minutes. You can turn it over halfway through, though it does not matter if you do not. Remember to put a plate on the bottom layer of the oven, otherwise the dripping juices will fall into the oven and be very hard to clean up.

4. Now it is out of the oven. The fish skin is golden yellow, and the fish meat is white and firm. Do not forget to squeeze a little lemon juice on it before eating; it should not be too much, as too much will affect the taste. For the final processing step, just substitute a frying pan. The heat should not be too high, and use only a little base oil, not too much. Over medium-low heat, pan-fry until both sides are golden brown.
