How to choose fresh and delicious stingray and how to process it to avoid a fishy smell:
How to choose delicious stingray:
- When buying stingray, choose fresh, live ones that swim actively; the meat will be tasty and not mushy.
- It is advisable to buy fish with clear eyes, slimy skin, and firm curled edges on both sides.
How to process stingray:
- Use a sharp knife to make a cut along the spine of the fish, exposing the blood clot and a layer of black membrane. You can use a knife or your hands to peel them off; doing this will reduce the fishy taste.
- The skin of the stingray is very slimy; when cooked, it releases a type of mucus that makes the dish taste bitter and very fishy. You can process it by rinsing the skin with boiling water, then scraping off the slime from head to tail with a knife. Scrape the mucus and apply salt as you go.
- Rub salt and rinse the belly of the fish with clean water.
- After processing, soak the fish in alcohol or vinegar for 5 minutes to completely eliminate the fishy smell.
Note: Besides using charcoal to grill fish, you can use an oven or electric grill for easier preparation.
