Is fried hairtail delicious with batter or without batter?

I usually like to dip some batter when cooking fried hairtail, so that the fried hairtail is crispy outside and tender inside, which is especially delicious. So I think it's good to put some batter when frying hairtail, and don't touch the pot.

Soft and tender with fish. If fried directly without batter, hairtail is easy to be fried. Hairtail itself is very soft. When we fry hairtail, if we put hairtail directly into a frying system, it will be easy for hairtail not to fry, so the taste of hairtail will be crisp and there will be no tender feeling. However, when frying hairtail, put some flour on the surface of hairtail to protect hairtail. Moreover, after frying, the batter naturally forms a hard shell, which is very crisp to eat, and the hairtail is very soft and tender, and the taste is particularly good.

It may be a little unreliable for people living in coastal areas to make hairtail in this way, but for us mainlanders, we seldom eat fresh hairtail, and the hairtail we buy is basically frozen. After freezing, its meat becomes very soft and loses its original flavor, so we can only make it into a key flavor dish to cover up the fishy smell of hairtail, although frying hairtail will lose its delicacy.

There are different flavors in a dish. In a word, I still like to eat fried hairtail wrapped in batter, and it tastes good.

Here's one more thing:

1. When frying, be sure to fry slowly with low fire and turn over frequently to make hairtail evenly heated.

2. Fried hairtail, don't need to put too much seasoning, itself is to eat the umami flavor of fish, if there is too much seasoning, it's almost like barbecue, but it masks the taste of the ingredients themselves.

The practice of this dish is actually very regional. The motherland is vast and the tastes of all parts of the country are different. Hairtail in the south of the Yangtze River prefers to eat that kind of delicious food, so most of the time it is fried or fried. Northerners, on the other hand, have a heavy taste, prefer to be fried with flour, and feel a little crispy, so this dish varies from person to person, so it is not easy to generalize.
