What is frogfish?
- Frogfish is also known by several other names such as toadfish, or frog-mouthed fish.
- This type of fish has a head very similar to that of a frog, with round bony fins on the upper body resembling two propellers.
- The skin of the fish is smooth and glossy, with a mottled brown color.
How to choose fresh and delicious frogfish
- It is advisable to buy live fish to ensure that the dish is tastier when prepared.
- Mature fish are typically between 20 – 30cm in size, which is when the fish meat is firmer and sweeter.
- Purchase fish from around June to October each year, as this is when the fish are growing and will be tastier than at other times.
Effective ways to eliminate fishy smell
- Method 1: Cleaned fish soaked in saltwater for 5 – 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with water.
- Method 2: After cleaning the fish, soak it in rice water for about 15 – 20 minutes, then rinse several times with water.
- Method 3: Additionally, you can eliminate the fishy smell by soaking the fish in a mixture of vinegar and diluted white alcohol for about 5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with water.
