Fish is a tasty and healthy product. But no one likes the cleaning process.
The smell remains on the hands, the cutting board, and the scales usually fly all over the kitchen. But if you know a few simple life hacks, this process will no longer be a problem.
As noted by experienced housewives, the cutting board should be wrapped with cling film, and gloves should be worn on the hands.
First, the fish should be washed under running and cold water.
You also need to stock up on lemon or a small amount of vinegar, which will help get rid of the fishy smell later.
After that, you can start cleaning.
Cleaning with boiling water
In this case, the scales will quickly and easily separate. But here it is important not to overdo it.
The product should be placed in a pan and filled with boiling water so that the water completely covers the fish for literally 2-3 seconds, and then it should be immersed in cold water. Then you can start cleaning.
The method is suitable for small fish.
Cleaning in water
First, you need to pour water over the fish for 15 minutes, and then start cleaning right in the pan.
This option is convenient because the scales fall immediately into the water and do not scatter around the kitchen.
Cleaning with a grater
Not everyone knows that the sharpest side of the grater is perfect for the procedure.
Grate the trace from the tail to the head. The husk remains on the grater.
