Seafood preparation tips
Shrimp
Remove the shrimp shell and devein (the black part) before cooking to enhance flavor and reduce fishy smell. Tip: Use scissors to cut along the back and pull out the vein.
Crab
Thoroughly clean the gills and stomach of sea crabs, scrubbing the shell with a brush. Cut large crabs into smaller pieces for easier boiling and eating.
Fish fillet
Remove the internal organs and scales. Slice the fish into thin, even pieces. Add Huadiao or white wine during marination to eliminate the fishy smell and enhance freshness.
Shellfish
Soak shellfish in salt water to remove sand. Gently scrub the shells with cooking wine and ginger to eliminate fishy odors.
