Even children know that fish is useful. Fish contains many trace elements that are essential for the full functioning of the body. But fish dishes do not always turn out the way the hostess intended, but the whole point is in the mistakes made during its preparation.
How to cook fish properly?
Before you start preparing any fish dish, you need to make sure that the product is fresh.
To do this, it is necessary to pour into the water into a container in which the fish is placed entirely, 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 during the frying process, a strong smell appears, which is an obstacle to cooking this dish. To eliminate this aroma, you need to peel the potato, 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 going to the pan. To get fish with a crispy crust, it is necessary to warm up the oil strongly, salt it, and only then lay out the pieces of fish.
To make it easier to mill salted fish, you need to place it in cold water for 15-20 minutes, the flesh will swell slightly, and the bones will come off easier. Salted fish can be soaked in cold water for 5-6 hours, changing the water to 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 fish broth, salt is added at the very beginning of cooking. If the fish is finely chopped, then it is put into boiling water so that the pieces retain their shape. Few people know that boiled fish is cooked only over 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 future use, because it is stored for no more than one or two days. Before serving, yesterday's boiled fish must be re-steamed, and the fried fish must be fried on both sides.
