By the New Year, Russians will have a sharp increase in prices for some products. Many are already buying caviar now, but forget to buy herring in advance. And in order for the fish to remain fresh, it is important to freeze it correctly. The details will tell the IA EAMEDIA.
How to choose a herring for freezing?
Check the fish for freshness: press the back slightly – if the dent quickly disappears, the herring is fresh. Gills should not secrete liquid or blood. If there is a liquid, it is better not to take such a fish.
How to freeze salted herring?
First rinse the fish, cut the head and remove the insides, leave the skin, as it protects the meat from drying out. Then dry the fish, put in a sealed bag and remove in the freezer.
Remember: do not use metal dishes to freeze herring.
How to defrost the herring correctly?
First, hold the fish in the refrigerator on the lower shelf for about a day. Gradual defrosting will help maintain taste and juiciness. Do not defrost the herring at room temperature, near the battery or in the microwave. So the product will be spoiled.
That's all, if you take care of this in advance, a “herring under a fur coat” will show off on the New Year's table.
