As you know, a regular lemon is quite capable of dealing with the specific fish “aroma”.

However, more often than not, this effective remedy is not used as it should be.

So, perhaps, 99% of clean housewives wipe the cutting board with a citrus slice after cutting fish.

In this case, the smell will still be noticeable, although not as concentrated.

Instead, try rubbing your cutting board with sour fruit juice before you start cooking.

By the way, you can even use slices squeezed from the juice - they will still do their job perfectly.

Since wood is an excellent absorbent, it absorbs the primary odor, so first, as they say, the money, and then the chairs, that is, first the lemon, and only then the sliced herring.

Once you have finished working, rinse the cutting board under running hot water for 5 minutes.
