If you buy more than 500 grams of hairtail, it is fully mature, has a large body, and has a rich meat, making it an excellent ingredient for cooking. Hairtail less than 500 grams is not yet ripe, and the taste and meat quality are not good, so it is not suitable to buy.

2.Look at the surface.

The hairtail is grayish-white or silvery-gray and shiny, not yellow, and the yellow surface is not fresh (yellowing indicates the fat oxidation of the silver-white scales). At the same time, it is necessary to see whether the scales are uniform and complete, and they are not easy to fall off if they are close to the body.

When buying fish, not only look at the appearance and meat quality, but also smell the disadvantages. Some unscrupulous traders will add formaldehyde to hairtail fish to keep it fresh.
