2. Using a metal spoon, scrape out flesh from the bones and 2 sides of skin.
3. Using the back of a chopper, pound the fish meat until very fine, adding A while pounding.
4. Transfer fish paste into a mixing bowl, stir in one direction until very sticky, adding B while stirring.
5. Gather up fish paste and hit against the base of the mixing bowl 5-6 tims to firm up the paste.

One bowl full of fish paste, but I only use half of it to do the Golden Pepper Prawn Fritters, the rest of it turned bad because I didn't know that I need to store in the freezer, wasted! :(
