Preparing the fish

- To eliminate the fishy smell and slime, you can use lemon and salt to rub the fish surface, then rinse with cold water.
- Alternatively, you can use a mixture of vinegar/alcohol and salt to wash the fish, soaking for about 5 minutes and then rinsing thoroughly with cold water.
