The best thing, of course, is to immediately prepare something with fresh fish. But it often happens that there is no time for this at the moment and the fish must somehow be kept fresh for several days.
Instructions
Step 1
If you brought home a fish still alive, then put it in the water and let it swim in it for a while, but at the slightest sign of "falling asleep" the fish must be pulled out of the water and killed.
Step 2
Rinse fresh fish under cold running water and remove scales. Cut out her gills, cut open the abdomen and remove the entrails. If necessary, cut off the head, tail and fins.
Step 3
Rinse the fish under cold water, dry the carcass with paper kitchen towels or napkins, fillet or cut into portions.
Step 4
Lightly salt the fish meat, sprinkle with the juice of freshly squeezed lemon, wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the fish compartment of the refrigerator, usually under the freezer.
Step 5
In this form, the fish can be stored for 3-4 days without sacrificing quality. If you do not plan to cook something from it these days, then it must be placed in the freezer. There, it can be stored for as long as you like, but after that it must be properly defrosted.
