When you buy trout, you want there to be caviar inside the fish.
According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, chef Yulia Arkhipova, this delicacy can be salted yourself and used to prepare a variety of snacks for any holiday.
What to look for when choosing trout
First of all, it is worth taking into account the fact that this fish prepares for spawning in late autumn or early spring.
Therefore, this year it is worth going shopping at the end of October-November.
Your task is to find a female whose weight is at least two kilograms.
The distinctive features of a female trout are a small round head, a flattened nose, a small number of teeth, a straight back and a figured notch on the rear fin.
You can recognize a male by the spike on his lower jaw - unless, of course, it was sawed off by the sellers.
If you buy chilled trout, you can confirm your assumptions by feeling the belly of the fish.
To determine if a fish has caviar, press on the area closest to the head. If there is a small bubble, this indicates the presence of caviar.
