By the way, it is important to remember that there is no point in adding additional salt to the product, otherwise the dish can be ruined.

What other cooking tricks might come in handy?

The fish will be more juicy and tender if you add a piece of natural butter to the frying pan. During frying, you will need to periodically pour the melted product over the fish.

You can also put a piece of raw potato in the frying pan. It is believed that this will help neutralize unpleasant odors that often arise during the cooking process.
