Sand Arrow Fish

Sand Arrow Fish

　　The sand arrow fish is one of the most common types of fresh seafood in Qinzhou. It gets its name because when you chew the head of the fish, you may bite into a small bone that feels like a grain of sand. There are two common ways to cook Qinzhou sand arrow fish:

　　1) Stewed sand arrow fish with olives, which involves simmering the fish in a red-braised sauce along with crushed salted olive bits.

　　2) Deep-fried sand arrow fish, which has a crispy texture with a fresh taste.
