Scale the parts of the white amur fish. For the soup, you will primarily need: the head, tail, fatty belly portions, etc. Be sure to remove the gills from the head. Thoroughly rinse the fish parts in water and place them into a cauldron or pot. Pour in cold water and bring to a boil. Then skim off the foam that forms and reduce the heat to moderate.
