my fine dining chef husband is so disappointed that you took the head off at all. i haven't seen him so disappointed in food prep in a while. this is hilarious
While he's right from a technical standpoint, but I've known many people who might not prefer to see the head/eye before diving into the fish 🙈😅 so I guess just the body flesh softens the moral blow 😅
Yes, thankyou. followed this one, as I bought a whole fish first time ever. I put garlic, lemon slices, pepper and fresh coriander with oil. Fingers crossedl. I put it in for 30m at 200C, but will check if it is ready sooner.
Thanks, I'd never have found that. Not something I would ever have lying around. Didn't know it was such a big company either - albeit just because they've bought a lot of others.
No mention of the gill slits. One cut below. Shift the head, one cut above, and the head is removed. Simple, less waste. Where did you learn to do this again?
There's a better way of scaling a fish, if you want to avoid scales lying around after the process. Submerge the fish in water. The water will trap the scales. Bon apetit.
Just a few things that I would personally regard as 'important' when cooking, are; the degree of heat applied, usually measured in Celsius, and the time the fish is supposed to cook, usually measured in minutes. None of that info is included here. Not very skillful.
Madame, this membrane is kind of a membrane, correct, but commonly it is named fish bladder. And the blood line is not a blood line at all, but the fish's kidneys. It is best discarded off with your thumb nail or a tea spoon. As others already said: A fish without a head cannot be considered a whole fish.
Essential skill to impress people at a party! You'd be surprised how so few people can prepare a whole fish You'd be surprised too to find yourself struggling alone while everyone else is socialising and having beers
Jay ,no I'm not. The tail and fins are crunchy, and the base of the fins have sweet-tasting meat. The collar is mostly bone, but it's pretty much a delicacy, you basically chew on it for fun
I love to eat fish but I swear, no respect for that fish, you just cut into him and just toss out his head with no emotion. I'd still eat that fish but I'd still be respectful and not poke at his eye and I wouldn't "discard" him, I'd say a little prayer that he enjoys heaven or something. Come on, have some emotion. yeah it's a dumb fish but imagine if this was a person or something.
