Many people like the taste of salted fish, but the problem is that it is simply impossible to guess the degree of salty fish when buying it. Sometimes fish that are too salty just seem to be unusable. There are several ways you can remedy the situation.
It is necessary
- - empty container;
- - milk, water or tea leaves.
Instructions
Step 1
Before making the fish less salty, it needs to be rinsed to remove excess salt from the skin. If it is small, such as a sprat, then it can be soaked whole. Cut large herring into portions so that the salt leaves the fish faster and more evenly.
Step 2
Put the prepared fish in a deep bowl. Take regular milk, if you soak the fish in it, then it will be more tender and juicy, and pour the pulp over them so that the liquid completely covers all the pieces. If there is no milk, you can soak the fish in black tea or plain water. Some housewives use vegetable oil to improve the taste of slightly salted fish.
Step 3
Put the dishes together with the fish in the refrigerator, if you leave it soaked at room temperature, then it may simply deteriorate. The soaking time depends on the salinity of the fish. If it is not too salty, then two or three hours are enough for this. In the event that the taste is too harsh, it is advisable to leave the soaked fish in the refrigerator overnight.
Step 4
After the specified time has passed, remove the fish from the liquid in which it was soaked, rinse it thoroughly under running water. The composition in which the fish has been soaked will absorb excess salt, after which it will be less salty.
