The key to delicious fish head soup is to remove the fishy smell. How can we make the fish head soup without fishy smell?

1. Remove the gills: Before stewing the fish head in soup, the gills must be cleaned very clean, because the gills are the fishiest part of the whole fish head and contain a lot of dirt. .

2. Soak the fish head: After washing the fish head with the gills removed, if there is enough time, soak it in clean water for a period of time. When soaking, add salt to the water to remove the fishy smell, which is more effective. You can add half a tael of salt for every 5 pounds of water, so that the earthy smell in the fish head can be removed by soaking it for 1 hour. In addition to salt, you can also add a small amount of vinegar, pepper, and bay leaves to achieve a more perfect fishy smell removal effect. You can also soak the fish heads in warm tea. A fish head of about 1 to 2 pounds can be mixed with a cup of strong tea and an appropriate amount of warm water to make light tea. Usually, soaking it for 5 to 10 minutes will have a better effect of removing the fishy smell.

3. Pickled fish head: You can choose either pickled or soaked fish head. The soaked fish head does not need to be pickled, and the pickled fish head does not need to be soaked. Salt and cooking wine are commonly used to marinate fish heads. Usually, marinating for more than 15 minutes is enough. In addition, marinating the fish head in rice wine, red wine or milk can also have a good effect on removing the fishy smell.

4. Fried fish head: Frying the fish head before stewing it is not only the key to making the fish head soup white, but also a key step to remove the fishy smell. You can also apply some white vinegar on the fish head before frying it in the pan. Just apply a little white vinegar evenly on the fish head. This will have a better effect of removing the fishy smell.

5. Stew fish head soup: After the fish head is fried, you can add water to start stewing the soup. When the fish head soup turns white, add ginger slices to remove the fishy smell. Before serving the fish head soup, drop a little white vinegar or rice vinegar into the soup, and sprinkle some pepper to remove the fishy smell and maintain the freshness of the soup. But please do not add white wine. Although white wine can remove the fishy smell of fish head soup, it also covers the fresh taste of the soup. Finally, if you feel there is a fishy smell in the room, you can boil a piece of lemon peel in water for 5 minutes to quickly dissipate the fishy smell in the room.
