Brilio.net - Processing dishes made from fish is often a choice for everyday family meals. Apart from being easy to obtain, fish can also be cooked using many methods. Starting from frying, grilling, dipping, to making soup.
Even so, some people admit that they are reluctant to process fish. This is because, often processed fish has a strong fishy aroma. Of course, the enjoyment of fish is reduced even though it has been mixed with various herbs and spices.
Not to mention if the fish is deliberately kept as food stock . The fishy smell becomes stronger and even contaminates the inside of the refrigerator.
To minimize this from happening, it turns out the fish must be cleaned first. The method was demonstrated by Instagram user @ryzal1987. Curious about how?

Fish that want to be processed or stored can first set aside the gills and stomach contents. If so, put the fish into the container.

Instead of adding lime juice, this netizen actually added rice washing water into the container until it soaked all parts of the fish .

After that, add enough salt as a mixture. Stir then let the fish soak for a few moments.
"Soak the fish first for approximately 30 minutes," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from Instagram @ryzal1987 on Friday (12/7).

Because it has been soaked in rice washing water, the fishy smell of the fish disappears. When it has been soaked for 30 minutes, drain. Transfer the fish to another container to store in the refrigerator.
According to him, this method is effective in making fish last longer. Not a week, but the fish will last for weeks without the slightest fishy smell.
When you want to consume the fish, you can wash it using normal water. No need to worry, the fishy smell of the fish will disappear after soaking it in rice washing water.
