Brilio.net - Processing milkfish can be a challenge for many people, especially because this fish is known to have many small bones that are difficult to remove. Milkfish has a delicious meat texture and high nutritional content. However, the presence of fine bones hidden among the meat often makes the process of cooking and eating this fish less enjoyable.
Dealing with the small bones on milkfish requires special patience and skills. To ensure that milkfish is ready to be cooked and eaten without worry, many people have to spend extra time cleaning the bones one by one. Methods such as the right fillet technique or using special tweezers to remove the bones can help, but still, this process requires high precision.
In addition to removing the bones, many people then choose to use a pressure cooker when processing milkfish. So, milkfish cooked with a pressure cooker will make the fine bones more crushed and blend with the meat. This will also make the fish meat more tender.
However, if you don't have this special pan at home, you can use another method when you want to process milkfish. This method was once used by the owner of the Instagram account @qiutin.kitchen. In one of the videos uploaded, he admitted to relying on one simple tool, namely a knife.

As reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @qiutin.kitchen on Thursday (11/28), the knife will be used to cut the meat and fine bones in milkfish. The method is, simply prepare milkfish that has been washed clean, then, cut the back using a knife.
"The small bones of milkfish are in the upper part (back)," he explained.

But don't just cut too deep. Just until there is a 'crunch' sound, which indicates that the spines or fine bones have been cut. Then continue to cut or slit the back of the milkfish with a cut distance of 0.5 cm. Do this process to the entire back of the milkfish.

In addition, make sure the knife used is really sharp. This will make the cutting process easier and more optimal. Not only that, the fine thorns can also be cut perfectly.
Having been viewed more than 8,000 times, this video about milkfish processing tricks has immediately attracted attention. Many other Instagram users then gave direct responses in the comments column. Some netizens even expressed their gratitude for getting new, useful knowledge.
