Matters needing attention

When scraping with a knife, you should pay attention to scraping from beginning to end, scraping in order, and don't boil the water too hot.

In fact, the chef's opinion is that there is no need to clean the mucus at first. As long as it is live snakehead and fresh snakehead, it has mucus. Cutting fish fillets is also very simple. First of all, the knife should be sharp. Secondly, don't choose a very smooth chopping board. Choose a slightly rough wooden chopping board. Finally, before cutting the fish fillets, use a knife to quickly scrape the skin from tail to head, scrape off the secretions on the skin, and start cutting immediately. Don't wait too long, because the fish skin has been secreting mucus.
