Brilio.net - Fried salted fish is one of the delicious dishes that can always arouse your appetite. However, behind the deliciousness of fried fish, there is one problem that is often unavoidable, namely the fishy smell that spreads throughout the kitchen, even to other rooms in the house. This fishy smell can be very disturbing, making the atmosphere of the house less comfortable.
The problem of fishy smell when frying fish occurs because of the hot oil used in the cooking process. This oil functions to release the natural aroma of fish, which then spreads through the air and sticks to various surfaces in the kitchen and its surroundings. Moreover, if the kitchen ventilation is inadequate, the smell can last longer and be difficult to remove, causing an unpleasant taste in the house.
Fortunately, there are some effective ways to overcome this fishy smell problem. An Instagram user @lafina_indonesia once revealed it further through one of the videos she uploaded. She admitted that there is one type of kitchen spice that can be an effective ingredient to prevent the fishy smell from spreading when frying salted fish.
As reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @lafina_indonesia on Friday (20/12), the kitchen spice in question is celery leaves. So, this type of leaf is known to have a fairly pungent, delicious aroma. Well, this aroma can help neutralize the fishy smell that appears when salted fish is fried in hot oil.

For a clearer way to use it, you only need to prepare oil in a frying pan first. When it is hot, put a handful of celery leaves into the oil. The reaction caused by these leaves will make the oil explode for a moment. Well, the aroma of these celery leaves will then spread into the cooking oil.

If it is like that, you can immediately put in the salted fish that you want to fry. Then fry the fish together with the celery leaves until cooked. Then after it is crispy and cooked, immediately drain the salted fish. In addition to not making the room smell fishy, the used cooking oil that has been used also remains clean and fragrant. You can use it to fry other foods.
