The soup, although it is called soup, but rather refers to fragrant stews. Despite the widespread belief that the preparation of fish soup is fraught with many difficulties, for example, with the selection of the right fish and its subsequent cleaning, experienced housewives know that in fact everything is not so scary. It is only necessary to know how much fish is required to put on the broth, and also correctly follow all the recommendations using several secrets.
Selection and preparation of ingredients
The classic recipes for domestic soup include the use of fish, which gives a transparent and sticky broth with notes of sweetness. The best option will be small or medium-sized crucian carp.
The taste of fish soup depends on:
- fish freshness - the best choice is a recently caught and still live specimen;
- proper cleaning - the head does not always need to be removed, but to clean the fish from giblets and gills, as well as remove the film from the belly, it is necessary to avoid bitterness.
Did you know? Until the end of the 17th century, all liquid dishes, including meat broths and soups, were called fish soup.
Experienced housewives indicate the need to prepare fish broth with the addition of at least one more type of cooked fish to the main one (for example, ruff, burbot, perch, etc.). This approach will allow you to get a stronger broth with a pronounced taste and aroma.
