First, the correct handling of hairtail
1, the correct way to handle fresh hairtail, the silvery scales of fresh hairtail are especially beautiful, and because the surface layer of silver and phosphorus is especially slippery, it is not easy to solve it immediately, so it is best to wear rubber gloves to remove them. First chop off the head and tail of swordfish, then cut the belly of swordfish with kitchen scissors, remove internal organs and its cheeks, remove the black mucosa of abdominal cavity, clean and tidy, and then cut off the dorsal fin. Finally, chop the swordfish to a suitable size and cook it gradually.
2, the correct way to deal with frozen hairtail The disposal of frozen hairtail is the same as some frozen ingredients that are usually visible. The first thing is to unfreeze first. Therefore, the swordfish is first put into warm boiled water to unfreeze, and the unfreezing temperature should not exceed 75℃, because the silver scales on the surface of swordfish will melt when they touch boiled water at 75℃, which will lead to the outflow of nutrients. The thawed swordfish is also chopped off at the head and tail, the skin is cut open, the internal organs and black mucosa are removed, the dorsal fin is cut off after cleaning and neatness, and finally the strips can be cut.
Attention: At present, the saury is still sold in the market after being cut into strips. When purchasing and taking it, it is also necessary to pay attention to removing the black mucosa inside the belly of the fish. Because the smell of the black mucosa is very heavy, it will harm the taste after cooking.
3, the correct way to deal with yellow hairtail How to deal with yellow swordfish? Can I take it? Then swordfish often turns yellow, because the silver scales on the surface of swordfish are oxidized by long-term contact with gas, and the fish scales oxidized by air can no longer be taken. After the hairtail is thawed, you can use a wire brush or a soft brush to remove the fish scales, and then clean and cut the strips.
Second, the way to wash away the foul smell
1, light edible alkali soaking method
Soak saury in light edible alkali for a while, and then wash it with tap water, which will be very easy to clean and has no fishy smell.
2, rice washing water cleaning method
Put the swordfish in rice washing water for simple cleaning, so that the washed swordfish can not only remove the fishy smell, but also prevent the hands from touching the scales of the fish from getting too fishy.
Third, the selection method of hairtail 1, hairtail skin is silver and shiny, the body feels malleable, and the plastic film on the surface is completely scar-free;
2. Buy swordfish with the length less than 1 m. If the swordfish is too large, the texture will be older and the taste will be weaker.
3. Brown spots appear on the top of the hairtail, and the belly of the hairtail turns yellow and smells, so the swordfish may have been moldy for a long time, so don't buy it.
