For many, fish cutlets are a great alternative to meat dishes.
They are considered more dietary and healthy food.
There is only one drawback of fish cutlets: they can be bitter even with the correct cooking technology.
What are the causes of unpleasant taste?
Fish
Most often, the culprit of bitterness is purchased minced meat or a bad choice of fish. Some unscrupulous manufacturers prepare minced fish without removing the guts, which gives it an unpleasant taste.
If you want to be sure of the quality, you should choose minced meat more expensive in price. Its color should be uniform.
Sometimes, when preparing minced meat yourself, bitterness appears. If the gall bladder was accidentally crushed during the processing or transportation of fish, even expensive fish will become bitter.
But such situations rarely happen.
Onion
This vegetable is added to any cutlets to make them juicier and tastier. However, there is one nuance that should be taken into account.
Fresh onions can spoil minced fish.
Therefore, you should either immediately start cooking, or pre-saute the onion.
spices
It is difficult to imagine cooking fish dishes without adding spices. But you should be more careful. Often pepper or ground bay leaf can play a bad joke.
If you add too many spices, bitterness will appear.
Storage
It is better not to prepare minced fish with a reserve: due to the peculiarities of the chemical reaction, even under the conditions of proper storage, a shade of bitterness may appear.
Therefore, if you have prepared minced meat, you should immediately start frying fish cutlets.
