- Choose fish with clear eyes, not cloudy, and slightly swollen.
- Observe the fish meat, which should be white or light pink, the fish should have shiny scales and metallic silver color, not dull.
- Press the fish to feel its elasticity; the fish meat should be firm, and the skin should be fresh and not easily torn.
- It is best to choose pomfret with pink-red gills; when smelled, it should have a characteristic sea fish scent and no strange odor.
- Do not choose fish that are scraped, with easily torn skin and a strange smell because these are spoiled fish.

Prepare the Pomfret
To save time on preparation, when buying pomfret, ask the seller to clean and slice it thinly, about the thickness of a finger to help you out!
To eliminate the fishy smell of the pomfret, wash it with clean water upon bringing it home, then use a little salt to rub directly on the flesh of the fish.
After that, rinse it again with clean water and let it drain.

- Additionally, you can also use salt to rub on the fish to remove the sliminess or use lemon juice or vinegar to completely eliminate the fishy odor.

Marinate the Fish
Marinate the fish with 1 spoon of monosodium glutamate and 1/3 spoon of salt. Let it sit for about 15 – 20 minutes for the fish to absorb the seasoning evenly.
-
Fry the fish
Place a pan on the stove, add 50ml of cooking oil to the pan and heat it over high flame. When the oil is hot and bubbling, add the pomelo fish and fry for about 2 minutes before reducing the heat to medium-low.
During the frying process, turn the fish regularly to ensure it is evenly golden and not burnt. Fry for about 10 – 15 minutes until the fish is cooked thoroughly on all sides, evenly golden, and fragrant, then turn off the heat and transfer to a plate to enjoy.
Tip:- To prevent the fish from sticking while frying, make sure the oil is very hot and fry over high heat for the first 2 minutes after adding the fish.
- To avoid breaking the fish during frying, limit flipping it constantly; instead, time it and observe when one side is golden before flipping the other side.

Final product
The fried pomelo fish is evenly golden and visually appealing, with tender flesh that has a slight crispiness, accompanied by a distinctive and delicious aroma. Enjoy it with spicy fish sauce or tamarind sauce for the perfect combination.
