After cutting the fish and removing all unnecessary parts, the product should be washed.

Moreover, the procedure must be carried out thoroughly. All fish pieces must be clean.

In this case, the heat treatment of the fish will be carried out correctly. The broth will remain transparent, will have a beautiful color and the right consistency.

Additional ingredients
