1, clean
Before the fish is cooked, the first task is to wash it. When this step is completed, all sources of fishy smell can be removed from the fish, namely gills, fishing lines, black films, fish scalp and mucus.
The black membrane is the black membrane of fish viscera and abdomen. Must be scraped clean, and then soaked in warm water to remove mucus. Then cut the fish head and tail, find a white line, draw it, clean the gills, and finally scrape off the skin of the fish skull, so that the fish is completely clean.
Step 2: Pickling
Fish needs curing before cooking. Cooking wine and onion ginger are essential seasonings, and then a little white pepper can be added appropriately. If you have red wine at home, you can also marinate it with red wine, but the cost is a bit high!
scald
When many people stew fish soup, this step is missing, so fish soup will smell fishy. Before stewing fish soup, we put the fish in a colander and then blanch it with boiling water, so many friends will ask, why not just blanch it with clear water? Because the fish is tender, if it is cooked in a pot, the fishy smell of the boiled fish will return to the fish, so we take the scalding method to let the boiling water directly take away the fishy smell.
4. Don't cover it.
Many people cover the pot when they stew fish soup. In fact, this is the wrong method. After the first three steps, the last fishy smell of this fish is boiled and evaporated into steam. If you cover the pot cover, the fishy smell will stay in the pot, which will eventually lead to fishy smell in the fish soup, so it is the right way to cook with the pot cover open!
