How to choose fresh and delicious pomelo fish
- Fresh pomelo fish will have clear eyes, bright white scales that are still tightly attached to the body, and gills that are still pink or bright red.
- Choose pomelo fish that, when pressed, still has elasticity in the flesh, and has a distinctive smell of fresh sea fish.
- Pomelo fish is large, and when you pick it up, it feels heavy; if the mouth is tightly closed, it should be bought, as this indicates fresh fish.
- Do not buy pomelo fish with cloudy eyes, dark red gills, or those that have turned black as these are fish that have been dead for a long time and are no longer fresh.
- Avoid choosing pomelo fish that has mushy flesh and strange odors, as these are fish that have spoiled and are no longer usable.

Prepare the pomelo fish
After purchasing the pomelo fish, clean the scales, remove all the internal organs, and rinse with diluted salt water, then rinse again with cold water. Next, cut the fish in half to fit the air fryer, then make a few slits on the fish’s body so that it absorbs the seasoning and cooks easily.
How to clean pomelo fish without any fishy smell:
- First, you need to clean the fish scales thoroughly, remove all the internal organs, and wash off the fish blood.
- Method 1: soak the fish in rice water for about 15 – 20 minutes, then take it out, rinse with clean water, cut the fish into bite-sized pieces, and proceed with cooking.
- Method 2: use a mixture of salt and alcohol to soak the fish for about 10 minutes, then rinse with water.
- Method 3: soak the fish in water and crush a piece of ginger into it, soak for about 5 minutes, then remove and let it drain before cooking.

Marinate the pomelo fish
You rub 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper over the fish, allowing the salt to absorb evenly, then place 1/2 of the chopped green onions, 1/2 of the julienned ginger, 1/2 of the sliced garlic, and 1/2 of the sliced chili inside the fish’s belly and marinate for about 10 minutes.

Grill the pomelo fish
You line a layer of aluminum foil in the basket of the air fryer, then place the marinated pomelo fish inside, brush a layer of cooking oil over the fish, then add all the green onions, ginger, garlic, and chili on top of the fish, gently wrap it with aluminum foil and put it in the fryer.
You set the temperature to 200 degrees Celsius and fry the fish for 30 minutes. The fish is done when it is plated and can be enjoyed.
Tip: Due to the varying temperatures of different air fryers, you should check the fish halfway through cooking, flipping it if necessary to ensure it cooks well without burning!
