Fishing trips always become a pleasant and memorable adventure. And if you also bring a big catch, then the holiday is in the house. But it’s not enough to catch a lot of fish. The main task is to make canned fish from home. To be able to enjoy salty, smoked fish or delicious own-made sprats. There are many cooking options.
Each fisherman has his own special recipe, according to which canned fish is obtained at home with a unique taste and aroma. This dish can treat friends and acquaintances. Yes, and under joint viewing of football matches, the fish leaves simply "with a bang."
Consider the option of cooking canned fish at home, to taste reminiscent of "Sprats". Any small fish (polar cod, sprat, gudgeon) is useful for it, for 1.2 kilograms of which you will need two hundred grams of vegetable oil, a mixture of peppercorns, a glass of strong tea leaves and a tablespoon of salt.
Delicious sprats are obtained by mixing several varieties of fish, but one species is quite enough. We wash the fish well under running water and carefully remove all the insides, and for some, for example, saiki, we remove our heads. We prepare the prepared semi-finished products in a thick-walled pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix vegetable oil and tea leaves. Pour fish carcasses with this fluid . Simmer for at least 3 hours on low heat with the lid closed. Then open the pan and continue cooking for another half hour. During this time, all excess liquid will evaporate. We spread the prepared sprats into pre-sterilized glass jars with a volume of half a liter. We cover with iron covers. Boil for 15 minutes and roll. But it is better to close the plastic lid. Cool, then put in the refrigerator for storage.
You can cook canned fish at home with the addition of vegetables. A delicious dish comes out of blue whiting or sprat, but any other will do. To prepare such yummy, you will need five kilograms of gutted fish, one kilogram of onions, beets, bell pepper, two kilograms of carrots, four kilograms of tomatoes, a liter of vegetable oil, four tablespoons of salt, fifteen tablespoons of sugar, a liter of water and half a glass of vinegar 9%.
Grind the tomatoes until pasta in a blender and mix with fish. Stew in a thick-walled pan for at least one hour. We clean vegetables from seeds and peel. Grind beets and carrots on a coarse grater. Bell pepper and onion cut into half rings. Fry all vegetables in vegetable oil. We combine vegetable and fish mass. Add sugar, salt, water and oil residues. Stew another hour. Pour vinegar into the dish, cook for five minutes, and then lay out on pre-prepared glass jars. We close with plastic covers. Wrap the jars in a thick towel for a day, allowing them to cool slowly. Keep in the refrigerator.
Pickled sprat will become an inexpensive canned food. Cooking it is very simple. Five hundred grams of sprats will require a hot marinade, consisting of salt, a mixture of peppers, sugar, parsley and mixed with 1.5 cups of vinegar 3%. We combine all the components with a liter of boiling water and boil for five minutes. Mix marinade with vinegar. Pour the sprat with the resulting liquid. Close the container tightly with a lid. Wrap in a thick towel or blanket. Leave until completely cooled. Then we merge the solution, heat it to a temperature of about 80 degrees and again fill the fish. Repeat this procedure three times. Ready marinated sprats are put in jars, pour the marinade and stored in the refrigerator.
Fish prepared in any way can be used as an independent dish. It will be an excellent component of a snack for the festive table. Especially delicious is any canned dish. To quickly make a salad, you can use a minimum of products. We combine a pair of boiled eggs, fresh herbs, mayonnaise and canned tuna. Spread this mixture on slices of loaf and get a delicious snack.
