Imagine taking the perfect fish out of the fridge, anticipating a delicious lunch or dinner.
But then the knife accidentally slips, and bile threatens to ruin your meal.
Will you really have to throw away the long-awaited delicacy? Stop panicking: it turns out there is a proven way to restore the fresh taste of fish in a matter of minutes.
Why bile is not a death sentence
The gall bladder of fish contains a pungent bitterness that instantly permeates the tender meat.
However, there is no need to panic: the sooner you start the "rescue operation", the higher the chances of preserving the dish. The main thing is not to allow the bile to soak deeply into the fibers.
Emergency help in three steps
First, rinse the damaged area under cold running water.
Then generously sprinkle the area where the bile enters with coarse salt - it will absorb the remaining liquid and neutralize the bitterness.
After 5-7 minutes, rinse off the salt thoroughly, rinse the entire carcass again and dry with a paper towel.
After these manipulations, the fish is ready for cooking. Fry, bake or boil the fish soup - the unpleasant taste will disappear, and the pleasant taste will remain.
Now even a small mistake when cutting fish will not be a reason for frustration. You can safely continue cooking to enjoy a delicious dish and feed all family members to their fill.
