When I was a child, my family often made braised crucian carp and sweet and sour hairtail fish, so the first freshwater fish I knew were these two kinds of fish, and later, my mother somewhere learned the practice of steaming Wuchang fish, so I met bream again.
In previous years, there would be a lot of cured fish and bacon at home, but they were mainly bacon and sausages, and at that time, cured fish was also pickled bream. The bream is small, although the price of catties will be more expensive, but the weight is light, the total price is a lot cheaper, and then the home environment is better, the home is pickled bream and grass carp, so I also know the grass carp, the size is really big, the fish meat on the belly of the fish is really much, all the big thorns, eating is really enjoyable.
Hubei big rivers, freshwater fish resources are abundant, daily life to freshwater fish mainly, usually buy grass carp at home, either pickled in the wax moon, or in the Spring Festival before the Spring Festival to make fried fish and buy large grass carp, other times, Hubei people do not eat grass carp, but prefer to buy bream and crucian carp.

You can leave a message in the comment area to tell us your opinion?The following will tell you about some tips for grass carp to get fishy, and of course I will also share a few points with you, how to marinate preserved fish at home?
1. How to remove the fishy skills of grass carp?
Eating fish has to be fishy, but the fish of the sea is different from the freshwater fish, the fishy smell of the freshwater fish is mainly caused by the growth environment, that is to say, the rivers and lakes of these waters, the muddy smell is the main source of the fishy smell of the freshwater fish, and the same is true for grass carp.
1. If you buy live fish at home, you can breed live fish in clean water, put a little salt, and let the grass carp breathe in the salt water to reduce the fishy smell.
However, this method is not applicable in ordinary people's homes, and killing fish is a troublesome matter, so most housewives buy grass carp and ask the fish stall to help them slaughter it, and at the same time, they will also chop the fish into pieces or cut into fillets according to their own cooking methods.
If it is to let the fish stall chop the grass carp into fish pieces, or cut into fish fillets, the method of going home to the fishy is relatively simple, after cleaning, marinate with ginger slices and cooking wine for 20 minutes, in the process of roasting the fish, first fry the fish and then burn, you need to add a little beer, according to this method to go fishy, the fishy smell basically does not exist.
2. When buying fish at the fish stall, let the fish stall help dispose of these internal organs, and the fishy smell will be reduced by more than half, first of all, the gills, the black membrane in the abdomen of the fish, try not to fish head, there are still some parts of the grass carp head that are particularly difficult to handle, and it is also the main source of fishy smell, the fish scales are scraped clean, the mucus on the grass carp body is cleaned at home, the fins are chopped, the tail is chopped, and finally the fish stall is asked to help remove the fishy line of the grass carp, and these parts are completely removed, and at the same time, after the grass carp is cleaned, the fishy smell will be much smaller.
Second, choose grass carp, choose "big belly" or "small belly"?
Most housewives will choose grass carp in the wax moon, so will you choose grass carp? Is it a grass carp with a big belly or a small belly? The following will tell you some of my personal understanding?
1. Nowadays, most of the grass carp purchased in the vegetable market are artificially farmed, the pond area of breeding is limited, and the activity capacity of grass carp is limited, so it is recommended that you try to choose a small belly when choosing grass carp, so the advantage is that the fat on the belly of the fish will be less, and at the same time, it is also possible that the fish has eaten too much feed in the stomach.
Generally speaking, most of the grass carp with a small belly are 3-4 catties, while the grass carp with a big belly is often more than 5 catties, or even 6-7 catties.
From the perspective of eating and affordability, I am Xi to buying grass carp with a small belly, first, the unit price is low, and second, the fish meat is relatively tender.
2. For the controversy of grass carp belly or small belly, there is not necessarily only the only choice, it is necessary to choose according to the cooking method, the grass carp with a big belly, from the side proves another thing, there is more fish meat on the belly of the fish, although the tenderness of the fish on the belly of the fish will be slightly inferior, but it is still very "comfortable" to eat the fish meat on the belly of the fish, and at the same time, there are more fish bones, and the fish meat on the belly of the fish will be more convenient and safe to eat. Choose grass carp with a big belly, you can make braised fish pieces or fried fish pieces.
3. In addition to being heavier, the big-bellied grass carp will also have a more rounded body shape, while the small-bellied grass carp will be more slender and long. From the perspective of eating, after a meal, choose grass carp with a small belly, if it is pickled preserved fish and fried fish pieces, it will be more appropriate to choose grass carp with a big belly.
3. Some tips for choosing grass carp?
A few days ago, I went to the supermarket to buy grass carp, because it is around the winter solstice, there are many consumers of pickled waxed fish, everyone is there to choose, there are some grandparents and aunts, good at "human teachers", like to teach you some skills of picking fish, so I also carefully studied and Xi, the following combined with my own experience, I will also tell you how to choose grass carp?
1. Should the grass carp be larger or smaller? grass carp above 7-8 kg is a large grass carp, and grass carp below 5 kg can be defined as a small grass carp.
7-8 catties of grass carp, fish bones tend to be larger, it is naturally much more convenient to eat, but the large grass carp grows for a long time, the meat quality will be more firewood, if it is used to braise in daily life, the taste is not as good as the small grass carp, but the pickled preserved carp in the wax moon, from the perspective of economy, although the big grass carp is expensive, but overall it is still a lot more cost-effective.
2. In supermarkets and vegetable markets, grass carp below 5 catties, especially about 3 catties, or even about 2 catties, is the largest sales, and families are very suitable for making braised fish, boiled fish, sauerkraut fish, etc.
3. In addition, we should pay attention to one point, you must buy fresh grass carp when choosing grass carp, the body of grass carp is usually blue-gray, do not buy injured grass carp, or the kind of grass carp that is going to die.
4. When choosing grass carp, you should observe more fish eyes, grass carp are fresh, but some grass carp fish eyes are cloudy, so grass carp can not be purchased, fresh grass carp, fish eyes are usually brighter.
5. When choosing grass carp, you should pay more attention to the body of grass carp, whether the scales are complete, whether the fish belly is damaged, whether there are blood stains on the tail of the fish, and try not to buy grass carp with a large fishy smell.
4. Can grass carp be marinated into preserved fish?
Every year in the wax month, every household on the balcony, on the window, hanging bacon and preserved fish, at least 80% of the people, the pickled preserved fish are grass carp, relatively speaking, the fish meat of the herring is more tender, but the herring is more expensive, my parents said that pickled preserved fish, choose grass carp is the most cost-effective, do not buy too big, 10 catties of grass carp, the meat quality will be quite good. Let me tell you some of my understandings.
1. Grass carp can naturally be pickled into preserved fish, after the grass carp is slaughtered, it still needs to be processed when you go home, use a clean towel to wipe the black membrane in the fish belly, and also wipe the blood water on the fish body and fish belly.
2. You can fry in the pot according to the amount of one pound of fish meat with 10 grams of salt, assuming that you buy 20 pounds of grass carp, after removing the internal organs, there are about 15 pounds, and almost 300 grams of salt are enough.
3. When drying, it is also particular, do not put it in the sun, it should be placed in a cool and ventilated place, let the preserved fish dry naturally, according to different living Xi habits, the preserved fish is dried for about 7-12 days, it is almost 7-8 into dry, dried to the 6th-7th day, 5-6 into dry, cut into small pieces and steamed in the pot to eat, I feel that the preserved fish at this stage is the most delicious.
4. After the pepper and salt are fried, let it cool, wipe the grass carp clean, evenly smear the salt, everyone should remember that every corner of the grass carp should be evenly smeared with salt, this step should be more careful, after the salt is smeared, it will be placed in the large tank of the pickled fish in turn.
5. On the third day after marinating, you need to turn over the tank, take the pork belly and grass carp at the bottom of the tank, and put the top grass carp down, otherwise the bottom grass carp will become too salty, and the top one will be lighter. When turning, wash your hands thoroughly and do not touch raw water or grease.
At the end of writing, I still want to say a few words, how to deal with the fishy grass carp? Only go to the "fishy line" is a layman, remember these two points, and the fishy smell will be washed away.
If you buy live fish at home, you can raise the live fish in clean water and put a little salt in it, so that the grass carp can breathe in the salt water to reduce the fishy smell.
