Mastering the art of seasoning is the most challenging aspect of preparing seafood hot pot. This dish is particularly popular during the year-end festivities, thanks to its delicious flavor and cooling properties. Whether you’re hosting a gathering with friends or simply enjoying a meal with family, learning to cook seafood hot pot can elevate your dining experience.
Clean the fish thoroughly, separating the bones from the flesh. Slice the fish into thin, long strips and marinate with chili and ginger. Pan-fry the fish head and tail until golden brown.
Rinse other seafood ingredients with water to clean them.

Simmer pork bones to extract their natural sweetness. Remove the bones and add the fried fish head and tail to the broth, cooking thoroughly to create the hot pot base. Enhance the flavor and color by adding a touch of chili sauce and mashed tomatoes.
Step 3:
Wash shrimp, squid, crab, crayfish, clams, vegetables, mushrooms, and herbs, then arrange them separately on plates. Your seafood hot pot is now ready to serve!
This dish offers a delightful blend of tangy, spicy, and aromatic flavors from the chili sauce, complemented by the natural sweetness of shrimp, squid, clams, and crab. Instead of dining out, you can prepare this seafood hot pot at home, ensuring a delicious and hygienic meal for your family.
Feel free to add root vegetables like carrots, potatoes, or taro to the broth, depending on your family’s preferences. Add these vegetables to the simmering broth with the bones 15 minutes before finishing.
Wishing you success in your culinary endeavors!
