Useful tips that you should consider to make a fish dish successful:
- We bake fish in foil in the oven only fresh. Living is best killed by piercing the cerebellum. If you buy already killed, then be sure to pay attention to the gills. Their color should be red or burgundy. In no case should you take fish with gray or blackened gills. Eyes should not be cloudy. The smell is only characteristic fish. It is important that dents do not appear when pressure is applied to the carcass.
- Fresh freshwater fish is much tastier than sea fish , but very quickly loses its properties. Therefore, it is better to cook it immediately, without freezing.
