How to cook fish?
Before proceeding with the preparation of any fish dish, you must ensure the freshness of the product.
To do this, pour in water in a container in which the fish is placed whole, and lower the carcass into it. If the fish is fresh, it will sink to the bottom, otherwise it is better to refuse to cook this product.
Many people prefer fried fish, but in the process of frying a strong smell appears, which is an obstacle to cooking this dish. To eliminate this aroma, it is necessary to peel the potatoes, cut into slices and spread between the fish pieces. By the way, so that the pieces of fish do not fall apart during frying, the carcass must be cut and salted a quarter of an hour before being sent to the pan. To get fish with a crispy crust, you need to heat the oil strongly, salt it, and only then put the pieces of fish.
To make it easier to mill salted fish, it is necessary to place it for 15-20 minutes in cold water, the flesh will swell slightly, and the bones will more easily move away. Salted fish can be soaked in cold water for 5-6 hours, changing water for fresh every hour, but it is not recommended to store such fish. You can get rid of excess salt with freshly brewed black tea or milk.
When preparing the broth from fish, salt is put at the very beginning of cooking. If the fish is finely chopped, then it is already placed in boiling water so that the pieces retain their shape. Few people know that boiled fish is cooked only on low heat starting from the moment of boiling.
It will be much easier to separate the skin from the fish if you sprinkle the carcass with ordinary table vinegar.
It is better not to cook fish for the future, because it is stored for no more than one or two days. Before serving, boiled fish yesterday must be steamed again, and fried - fry on both sides.
