How to make jellied fish
The fish needs to be cleaned and cut into pieces. The tail and head do not need to be thrown away, they will also come in handy.
Next, the fish must be placed in a saucepan along with the chopped vegetables and covered with water.
As soon as the mass comes to a boil, you should remove the foam and add a little salt to the pan. After this, the dish should be cooked for another 20 minutes.
Then you need to take out the fish, but you shouldn’t touch the head, skin and spines; they should remain in the water.
You can add spices at this time. Continue to cook the broth over low heat.
