Brilio.net - Fish is a source of protein that is often consumed by people with various types such as sea fish and freshwater fish. The process of processing fish is relatively easy and simple. However, there are several challenges in the processing process, especially when cleaning fish scales which can affect the taste and enjoyment when eaten.
The traditional way to clean fish scales is usually using a knife, but this method has a fairly high risk of accidents. Using a knife also requires extra energy and a high level of concentration in the process. Cleaning fish scales with a knife is often ineffective even though it has been done carefully.
There is a safer and more practical alternative in cleaning fish scales, namely using cucumber. This cleaning method with cucumber is very easy to do and faster than using a knife or other sharp tool. The use of cucumber is also proven to be safer because it does not risk causing injury.
As reported by BrilioFood from the YouTube channel Dapoer Cook, Wednesday (10/30), the account owner showed three goldfish that were going to be scaled. Before cleaning the scales, first clean the dirt inside the fish as usual.

First, cut the cucumber into two parts with diagonal sides. It's best to use cucumbers that are no longer used, so they don't go to waste.

Then place the fish on a cutting board. Then rub the cucumber with a little pressure on the body of the fish, starting from the tail towards the head. Rub in the opposite direction to the scales.

Do the above method on the other side of the fish's body. Rub with a little pressure, do it until the scales are completely clean and gone.

After all the fish have been cleaned of scales, then wash the fish thoroughly with running water while discarding the remaining scales. The fish can be marinated first using lime before being processed.
