Prepare sardines
When you buy sardines, mix 1 tablespoon of salt into water and soak the fish for about 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with water.
Next, you proceed to remove the bones from the fish, only keeping the fish meat.
Effective ways to remove the fishy smell
- Method 1: When washing the fish, you can mix a few tablespoons of rice wine or white vinegar into the water, then soak the fish for about 5 minutes and rinse thoroughly with water.
- Method 2: When you buy ginger, crush it and slice it. Then, soak it in water with the fish for about 5 minutes. Ginger is very effective in removing the fishy smell and also enhances the flavor of your dish.
