Notes

Purchase fresh and quality croaker fish.
Descale and gut the fish.
Flip the fish over to cook both sides.
Reheat it in the oven for at least 10 minutes.
Spoiled fish will have a sour and foul odor. It will also look dry, slushy, or slimy.
According to Fresh Fish Daily, the best way to reheat fish is to pop it in the oven at 170°C for at least 10 minutes. Wrap it loosely with aluminum foil to retain the moisture. You can also drizzle it with a bit of olive oil.
