Brilio.net - Fish is one of many people's favorite food ingredients. The reason is, in Indonesia it is very easy to find fish everywhere. Moreover, the cooking process is also relatively easy. You only need to marinate the fish with spices, then fry it in hot oil. After that, the fried fish is ready and ready to be served.
As is known, fish is also rich in health nutrients, one of which is fish that comes from the sea. Reporting from kemenkes.go.id, sea fish are rich in vitamin A, vitamin B12, vitamin E, vitamin D, protein and minerals. Fish is beneficial for eye, heart, brain and skin health. Isn't it surprising that many parents recommend that their children eat fish?
But behind that, cooking fish also has its challenges. One of them is removing the stomach contents inside the fish. The contents of fish stomachs cannot be enjoyed because fish stomachs tend to contain undigested food remains and contain dangerous substances if not cleaned. Apart from that, fish stomachs also taste bitter if they are accidentally eaten.
To remove it, people usually use the method of splitting the fish using a knife. Well, apparently there is another, more efficient way, you know. This method was shared by the owner of the Instagram account @mvnnialwi. In fact, he claims he can clean a fish's stomach in 30 seconds, you know.
"TIPS FOR CLEANING FISH ONLY 30 seconds. GOOD LUCK FOR TRYING," he wrote, quoted by BrilioFood from Instagram @mvnnialwi, Tuesday (25/6).
Tools that need to be prepared to clean the fish's stomach contents.Reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @mvnnialwi on Tuesday (25/6), the netizen seemed to want to remove the contents of the sea fish, namely peda fish. He then prepared one eating utensil, namely food chopsticks.
To do this, prepare the fish you want to process and put it in a container. You can also prepare a trash can near you to throw away the contents of the fish's stomach.

Then, hold the fish's stomach with your left hand. Take the eating chopsticks that you have prepared. You can use wooden chopsticks so they don't slip. Then insert the eating chopsticks into the fish's mouth until they reach the stomach. Then, shake the fish's body while rotating the chopsticks with your hands. Make sure the dirt in the stomach has been released. After that, pull out the dirt in the stomach with food chopsticks, and remove it through the fish's mouth.

In less than 30 seconds, the netizen managed to remove the contents of the fish's stomach with food chopsticks. Looking at the comments column, many other netizens claim to have succeeded in disemboweling the fish using the same trick.
However, quite a few people are worried that this trick will cause the fish's gall to burst. The reason is, if it breaks it will certainly make the fish flesh bitter. To avoid this from happening, you can use water and put it in the fish's mouth. Like the method shared by the @saviranunggraini account in the comments column.
"Put water in the fish's mouth, then shake its body then let the water out of its mouth and all the stomach contents will come out," wrote the Instagram account @saviranunggraini.
So, apart from using chopsticks, you can also use scissors to remove the guts of the fish. To do this, insert the tip of the scissors into the fish's mouth. Then, pull the gills down to the fish's stomach contents. This trick was also successfully shared by one netizen.
"It's even easier to use scissors, mom, cut out the fish's mouth, insert the tip of the scissors into the fish's mouth, pull the gills until they reach the fish's stomach, it's clean," wrote @ressins.
Well, that's the trick for removing the contents of a fish's stomach. Interested in trying?
