First, prepare fresh fish that has been cleaned. Then, the fish must be marinated first. Well, the owner of the Instagram account @mvnnialwi explains, instead of using lime, you should marinate the fish with vinegar. Yup, vinegar is the first kitchen ingredient needed to practice this fish frying trick.
This vinegar not only helps eliminate the fishy aroma, but also makes the texture of the fish crispier when fried later, you know. Rub the entire surface of the fish with vinegar until evenly coated, then let it sit for a while while heating the oil over medium stove heat.

How to reduce the sour taste of vinegar.
Vinegar has a fairly strong sour taste. That's why you should be careful when pouring it so you don't get too much. However, if it has already happened, don't be confused yet because there are ways to reduce the sour taste as follows.
1. Dilute with water.
Mix vinegar with water in the desired ratio. The more water added, the lower the acidity of the vinegar.
2. Add sweetener.
Maybe you could try adding a little sugar or other sweetener to the vinegar to reduce the sour taste.
3. Use baking soda.
Baking soda can help neutralize the acidity of the vinegar. Add a little baking soda to the vinegar and mix well. However, be careful because a foaming reaction could occur.
4. Add oil.
Add oil to vinegar to help relieve acidity. However, it may not be suitable for all recipes, depending on your needs.
5. Soak in water.
If you're using vinegar to soak something (like vegetables), soak it in water first to reduce the acidity.
