How to choose delicious salmon fins
- For salmon fins, you should buy fish with bright orange color, evenly distributed fat marbling, bright white and smooth texture, without signs of darkening, and no unpleasant smell. Fresh salmon will not be mushy; the fish should have a certain firmness.
- You should not choose mushy, pale-colored meat with cloudy fat marbling, as that indicates the fish has been stored too long and is not fresh.
- You can buy frozen salmon fins at supermarkets or reputable grocery stores to ensure quality.
Tips for cleaning salmon fins to be clean and odorless
- Use coarse salt to scrub the surface of the fish to remove slime and reduce the fishy smell.
- Finally, wash the fish with fresh lemon along with a little white wine or use fresh milk to completely eliminate the fishy smell.
