Brilio.net - There are many types of fish that are usually consumed as daily side dishes, one of which is catfish. This fish is known to have a delicious taste and soft texture. Basically, catfish can be fried just like that after seasoning it with garlic and salt. Once cooked, catfish can be eaten immediately with rice and other side dishes.
Apart from that, catfish can also be processed into various types of delicious dishes, such as mangut lele, pecel catfish, and even made into rica-rica. Unfortunately, there are still many people who are reluctant to process their own catfish at home, because they cannot stand the fishy smell and the slime which is quite difficult to remove. Even though you have washed it with water, sometimes catfish slime still sticks to it, you know.
Finally, a number of people choose to use additional ingredients to wash them, such as whiting which is believed to make the surface of catfish rougher. But if you don't have a stock of whiting at home, you can copy the trick shared by YouTube user Dapur Mama Karin.
