Fish preparation
Posted: 09 Sep 2015, 22:07
I was introduced to a neat little method of readying fish for cooking earlier this year.
While it is new to me, you guys may already know about it.
i was told to mix generous amounts of LEMON JUICE(bottled stuff is fine), SUGAR and some water.
put it into a container with the fish fillets and leave for 4-6 hours, or even overnight.
This was suggested to us by a old fella who has been fishing since the dawn of time(well almost)!
He says it makes the fish taste great.
My wife and I tried it on Sand whiting fillets and BlackFish fillets while up at Lake Conjola.
Now no big deal so far, but i did have to fillet the fish myself, and I know that I am not good enough to get all the bones out.
Once we cooked up this fish in a Pan we were amazed to find that NONE of the fish fillets we ate had any bones....NONE.
Now as I said I ain't that good.....but NO bones.
The fish tasted great, with just a hint of lemon.
Maybe it is a chemical reaction between the Lemon and the Sugar with he bones, I don't know.
But As I said...No BONES!
Enjoy, we did!!
Happy Yakking !!
