Brilio.net - Fish is one of many people's favorite food menus. In Indonesia, it is quite easy to find fish in markets, supermarkets and restaurants. With various types of fish available, from freshwater fish to sea fish, everyone can get the type of fish according to their taste and budget.
Apart from being delicious, the nutritional content of fish is also abundant. Reporting from BrilioFood from kemkes.go.id on Tuesday (9/7), fish is a source of animal protein that is rich in benefits. Fish contains unsaturated fatty acids such as omega, iodine, selenium, fluoride, iron, magnesium, zinc, taurine, and coenzyme Q10.
Regarding fish processing, the method is quite easy. Apart from grilling, fish can be marinated and fried in hot oil. After that, the fried fish is ready to be served.
Even though the cooking process is simple, frying fish also has its challenges, you know. If you're not careful, the fish can stick or the skin will peel off.
To anticipate that the fish will not stick when fried, people usually sprinkle flour into the oil used to fry the fish. This method makes the fish no longer stick easily, but there are also those who complain that adding flour to the oil can make the fish soggy and contaminate the oil.
Well, it turns out that apart from adding flour, there are other tricks, you know. Another trick for frying fish was shared by the owner of the @chonk_green_story account on TikTok.
"An easy way to cook fish so it doesn't stick," wrote the TikTok account @chonk_green_story.

This trick from the TikTok account @chonk_green_story relies on one kitchen ingredient, namely garlic.
First, heat oil on the stove. Once the oil is hot, add 2 garlic cloves that have been split into 2. Then, add the fish you are going to fry. Leave it for a few moments until it is cooked enough so as not to destroy the shape of the fish.
