When cleaning the fish belly, you should remove the black membrane inside and the gill teeth (teeth located at the back of the throat behind the gills), and then remove the two fishy lines of the catfish, otherwise the soup will have a fishy smell.

2. Add salt and marinate for a while, so that it is not easy to peel off and the appearance will look better.

3. Before frying the fish, you can evenly spread ginger juice in the pot to prevent the fish skin from sticking to the pot, so that the fish will not stick to the pot. The pot must be heated before adding oil, and the fish is added after the oil is hot.

4. Fry the fish until both sides are golden, then add warm water, cover the pot and boil over high heat, allowing the water to boil in the pot for about ten minutes. Only in this way can a thick, milky white soup be cooked.

5. The ratio of fish to water, if you want to make a big pot of soup with a small fish, you can’t guarantee to make a clear soup. Adding salt when the soup is about to be served can make the soup more nutritious.
