Notes

1. Since sea bass is live fish, we want to preserve the fresh taste of fish. Make sure to serve it with garlic and soy sauce if you don’t love

2. After frying fish head and bones, we need to use the boiling water to boil. (Reference : Chinese Okra and Fish Soup Recipe)

3. The watercress is immersed with salt water to easily remove the insects inside
