Ingredient Preparation
Remove the fish head and set it aside. Debone the fish body while keeping the tail intact. Butterfly the fish flesh open and score it with a crosshatch pattern, and set it aside to marinate.
2
Frying
Heat a generous amount of oil in a wok. Coat the fish flesh with flour and lower it into the oil to deep-fry; coat the fish head with flour as well and fry it in the same oil.

Plating
Once fried, remove the pieces and arrange them on a serving plate, then place the various prepared garnishes on top to finish.
