The key to success in preparing fish dishes is the quality of the raw materials. There are several basic rules that will help you not to make a mistake and choose a quality product.
We look at the eyes - they should be clear and transparent, the gills are bright red and not rotten, the fish itself should be dense and elastic, scales even and shiny with a thin layer of non-sticky mucus. The smell should be natural, but not sharp, extraneous natural odors, such as tina, are allowed.
Sea fish smells like the sea. To check the freshness, you can lower the fish into the water - stale fish will emerge, and fresh will sink to the bottom. It is better to buy frozen fish in verified places, since it is difficult to determine its freshness. In such cases, you have the right to ask the seller for a certificate for this fish.
When choosing a frozen fish fillet, pay attention to the icy crust of the glaze, the norm is 10% of the mass of fish, otherwise you will simply pay for the ice. Thaw the fillet in the air and do not re-freeze it.
