Even if you don't eat fish often, you probably enjoy it.

Of course: this tasty and nutritious product goes well with vegetables and potatoes, thus making a filling and nutritious dinner.

The cooking process itself evokes much fewer pleasant emotions, and is often accompanied by certain difficulties.

Perhaps the main problem that may arise in this case is cleaning the fish.

If you have ever had to “free” a fish carcass from scales, you probably don’t need to be reminded that the fish constantly “slides” along the cutting board, trying to slip out of your hands.

By the way, it doesn't matter what kind of fish you have in front of you - sea or river. Covered in mucus, they behave exactly the same.

This is where such an affordable remedy as salt comes in handy.

Experienced housewives advise to wet your fingers with water and dip them in salt when cutting fish, the particles of which will prevent slipping, which means that cutting the fish will be much easier.
