Brilio.net - The delicious taste makes fish often processed by many people. Not to mention, this food ingredient is a good source of protein. If consumed regularly, as reported by healthline.com, the protein content of fish will be useful for growth and body resistance.
Cooking fish is also fairly easy. You can prepare it using various methods according to your taste, from frying, sauting, grilling, to making pepes. Once the fish is cooked, serve it as a side dish to accompany rice.
However, processing fish still has its challenges, you know. One of them is the fishy smell that can be smelled even though the fish has been cooked using various types of spices. To minimize the fishy aroma, some people deliberately marinate the fish using lime juice . Unfortunately, this method is sometimes ineffective because the fishy smell of the fish is still strong .

As a solution, you can imitate the method shown by Instagram user @ummubalqishaura. In the video upload, this netizen immediately put the fish pieces into the container. Instead of being given lime juice, this netizen actually poured rice washing water into the container.

Let the fish soak in the rice washing water for 5-10 minutes. The goal is that the contents of the rice washing water can absorb the fishy smell of fish optimally. This was explained by the video owner.
Rice rinse water contains starch which can absorb and bind fishy odor molecules. "Starch also has mild abrasive properties which help clean the surface of the fish from dirt and mucus," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from Instagram @ummubalqishaura on Thursday (4/7).

After soaking for 5-10 minutes, immediately rinse the fish using normal water. If so, just marinate the fish using lime juice and salt. Because it has been soaked in rice washing water, the fishy smell of the fish has disappeared.
