Shanghai Mom Teaches You How to Make Crispy, Juicy, and Flavorful 'Orange Fish Fillet'
Beltfish (Pachysander brevispinosus) is a warm-water, near-shore, large benthic fish, with a fresh and delicate flavor, high meat yield, smooth texture, and retains its freshness even after long cooking. It has no fishy smell or odor, is high in protein, low in fat, and rich in nutrition. Historically, it has been a premium dish for entertaining guests and is widely loved by consumers. Pairing it with orange juice creates a deliciously sweet and tangy flavor, with a crisp, juicy and fragrant taste that lingers in the mouth.
