How to choose fresh and delicious fish
- It is advisable to choose fish with scales still firmly attached to the body, gills that are still bright red, and eyes that are full and clear.
- Fresh and delicious fish will have firm flesh with high elasticity, not mushy.
- Avoid buying fish with flesh that has started to turn brown or has a fishy smell.
How to remove the fishy smell from fish
- Method 1: You can rub with lemon, vinegar, crushed ginger or alcohol, or soak in water mixed with this solution for about 10 – 15 minutes.
- Method 2: Soaking fish in rice water or diluted salt water can also effectively remove the fishy smell.
- Method 3: Rub the fish with salt for about 5 minutes to clean off the slime, then rinse several times with water.
