How to clean whitebait

Here’s how:

Whitebait is also called breadfish. Due to the small size of the fish, many people do not know how to deal with it. In fact, the method is very simple: prepare a small basin of clean water, pour the fish in, then gently stir it with your hands to let the dirt settle, then use a strainer to scoop up the small fish, and rinse it three or four times in this way. Alternatively, you can pour the whitebait into a filter, turn on the faucet, not too much water, let the running water rinse slowly, after washing it clean, let it sit for a few minutes to drain the water, and then you can start cooking.

If you think it is still not clean, you can blanch the fish in boiling water after rinsing it, and then you can eat it safely.

If you find that the whitebait breaks easily when it comes into contact with water when you rinse it, it means that the fish is no longer fresh. Fresh whitebait should be dry and clean, and not sticky to your hands, so you should be careful when selecting it.
