How to choose dried golden threadfin
- You should choose long and flat golden threadfins with yellow fins and tails. Choose dried golden threadfins with intact bodies.
- Delicious dried golden threadfin will be dry, not damp, and when you squeeze it with your hand, it feels firm.
- Do not choose those that have an unusually bright white color as they may have been bleached with chemicals. Dried fish that has been salted will also have a white color; however, when touched, it will feel rough.
- You can also make your own dried golden threadfin at home using the recipe from TasteVN to ensure food safety!
