An unusual dish: macrurus with small eyes, fried over high heat with vegetables. A delicious combination of juicy deep-sea fish and crispy vegetables. The meat of macrurus is very tender and clean, there are no parasites and any harmful impurities in its composition. Cooking macrurus is quite simple, but butchering it is even easier, since there are no bones in it. The main thing is to remember that the fish fillet should lie in a colander so that the cell juice flows out, and the heat treatment should be very fast. The Chinese wok pan is perfect for cooking this fish. A quick and simple recipe is sure to appeal to real gourmets.
