How to choose fresh and delicious tuna
- To buy delicious tuna, you should choose live tuna that swims vigorously, has clear eyes, showing the pupils inside, and bright red gills.
- You can gently press on the belly of the fish; if the flesh has good elasticity and does not sink, the fish is still fresh.
- For frozen tuna, when buying, you need to carefully check the expiration date and origin to avoid purchasing low-quality fish.
How to process clean, non-fishy tuna
- Method 1: You rub salt directly on the fish, then rinse several times with clean water, and let it drain.
- Method 2: Additionally, you can wash the fish with cooking vinegar or white wine diluted to effectively eliminate the fishy smell!
- Method 3: After cleaning the fish, you can soak it in fresh milk for a few minutes before cooking. Fresh milk will make the tuna softer and effectively remove the fishy smell as well.
How to choose fresh and delicious tomatoes
- Fresh and delicious tomatoes will have an intact, plump skin, without scratches, with a bright red outer skin that is evenly colored.
- Naturally ripened tomatoes usually have a light fragrance compared to tomatoes that are artificially ripened, which have no aroma at all.
- You should choose tomatoes that still have the stem firmly attached to the fruit; if the stem is fresh and not wilted, then it is a tomato that is still fresh and worth buying.
