There is no herring in Africa for sure !!!


Yes?! I was told that students from Africa in Zaporozhye stud. hostels (it was in Soviet times) fried salty herring. Sorry, the stench was incredible! They say it reminded them of their own food.

I was holding in my hands a cookbook of Baltic recipes, they also fried salted herring there.
It doesn't fit in my mind.
But we can be wrong.

theoretically, I understand what is salted. But, probably, the marinade should be different. I think so
celfh, we have somewhere a whole big topic on fish ambassador. There are many different recipes and all kinds of fish were salted. I salt all the salt with the same successful marinade.

Celestine... and the Scandinavians adore herring with a "smell" already, they say that it has a different taste.

Celestine... and the Scandinavians adore herring with a "smell" already, they say that it has a different taste.
And in Vietnam, they prepare some kind of breathtaking fish sauce, which is kept in clay containers for at least a year under the pouring Vietnamese sun. There, these small fish get full fermentation, or whatever they call it, maturation takes place. A sauce that has been aged for more than two years takes on a different color from a one-year-old sauce. Accordingly, the price is different.
Brrr, but I am not impressed by this fish sauce, although I have not tried it.

Hello everyone! I love fish. I love anything if it is deliciously cooked. But the sea is healthier. I want good, fresh, but this is not to be found. Ice cream almost always looks unappetizing, and what can I say, by all indications it has been repeatedly defrosted. We were fed pollock since childhood. I didn’t love it, but I ate it. Believe it or not, we managed to buy fresh pollock for the first time. It looks like it was caught the other day and miraculously brought to us for sale. Such deliciousness !!!!! They didn't even remember about the side dish! There would be more such miracles !!!
And once again a year I have a "quirk". I would like to spread the cod liver on a sandwich.

I armed myself with a can opener. Shocked. I listened. Almost does not gurgle. Gently opened it .... and ... ..... And where, forgive the promised liver ... ... There I see two ma-ah-ah-ah-lazy brownish-greenish pieces floating in the sea , no, not the sea, in the ocean of oil (I hope this is it). But what about the promised 200gr. without the liquid part ..... I remembered about the camera when the contents were already in the bucket. And here is the jar itself. And a piece of content. True, the greenish color is not quite visible.

I heard that nowadays it is very difficult to find a real liver. At best, this is fish milk. But I also came across such green muck two years ago.
Elenka
And what to do !? Recommend a good jar! I just looked at a delicious salad - for a hundred years the liver did not go. Now I want a mage!
Irina Dolars
Yes! Someone, answer me! I've already spent so much money, opened so many jars in anticipation ..To no avail !!! It is spoiled, then with helminths! B-r-r-r !!! !!! And I look specifically at the factory! As taught in the "Habitat". Because, as the rest is rejected by them

Elenka, ATB sells sprats and cod liver from Brivais vilnis. The price, however, is noticeably higher than that of other manufacturers. I even feel that there is no liquid smoke in the sprats, which I cannot stand.
Irina Dolars
Qween, Anya, thanks for responding
Maybe we can find one. So hope hasn't dashed
Qween
Irina, please. The Internet address is written on the jars of tries, but suddenly it comes in handy: brivaisvilnis.lv.
Irina Dolars
Thank you! We will know what to keep the benchmark for. I already have an appetite
matroskin_kot
I always take canned food from the Bering company - they never let me down. Sprats recently bought "royal". There were no Bering's. Delicious, whole little fish ... but "Bering" is better. And they, too, have cheaper, more expensive. Cheaper is the type of pâté you get, I don't really like that. And more expensive canned food - in a jar with a key, two or three large pieces, taste and smell are excellent, oils in moderation. And I also love their mixture - liver and caviar. My husband doesn't like this, but I ... (right now I'll choke on saliva, or better - I'll weigh myself, I'm sobering ...)
Irina Dolars
matroskin_kot, Irish, thanks for sharing! And at the expense of the scales ... ... with fish it's easier, it's not a cake
matroskin_kot
Yeah, cod liver is very low in calories, and even with bread ... (I'll go at least a sprat gobble up, eat) .... at 4 am

Dr. Lena
To prevent osteoporosis, cod liver should be eaten at least 2 times a week.

matroskin_kot
Oh, girls, and freshly caught pollock is actually something ... Straight from the sea ... I'm not a fish eater ... but it's .... Just like cutlets from freshly caught herring ... It's just that what we have on sale is some kind of discrimination .... When I see what they sell under the guise of pink salmon in Sochi and Krasnodar, I just cry. .. After buying such a "delicacy" - not just spoiled mood and money thrown away, but you can also get sick ...

... when I see what they sell under the guise of chum salmon in Sochi ... I just cry ... After buying such a "delicacy" - ... you can get sick ...
and what is sold under the guise of pink salmon in Sochi?
matroskin_kot
A spotted fish that has spawned and goes to die a natural death .... Pink salmon and chum salmon (for food, smoked, salted, etc.) should be silver, so-called. "silver". Such a fish is caught in the sea, and the caviar is "taken" there. And the one that has already entered the river, at its last breath, goes to the spawning site. The pink salmon male has such a healthy hump on the back, the "croaker-daddy" is different from the mother ... fish - not too tasty, or rather, inedible. Only local bears for fattening ...
Sens
what should we buy?
matroskin_kot
Eh, apparently, buy only what is caught in the local region ... I buy Norwegian salmon ... but ... it is also grown in artificial conditions and fed ... I love pike perch and flounder-fox in Sochi (the price kills ). ... In Magadan, you can pull at least a ton of flounders in June .... It's dreary to clean only later, when the excitement from fishing passes
Irina Dolars
Yes Yes! Zander is a thing. I read something about flounder. It turns out to be a very useful fish. And here's a tip:
,, Before you start cooking, take important tips: to make the boiled flounder tastier, put a little dill in the broth, and when frying fish it is better to put it with the dark side down. " ( a source : 🔗 )

Today I looked at the cod liver in ATB - there is a Baltic one for 34g ... cop - 190g. The jar is solid.And one more Baltic region, too, in a round jar - 220 or 230 g - 32g ... kopeck. Maybe someone tried the second one?

I read a funny story on. I could not resist, I share: ,, Lamprey - delicious and scary !!!

Yesterday there was an incident, both funny and scary. Whoever is afraid of snakes will understand me. Lyrical ... probably no one like me loves fish-snake-lamprey. I just get sick of her. This is the most delicious for me. Yesterday, we went for a walk in the center, and in the evening went to buy another portion of ginger (after 5 months of use, Arina does not even frown when taking it). And then, lo and behold, in the fish department I saw a pickled lamprey, and a little further ... it was ... beautiful, long, fat, with caviar, there was a fresh lamprey at 150 rubles / kg. How happy I was. Miracle, lamprey .. here ... fresh .. I bought it fresh. We came home with Irina, and knowing how to make it (usually in Riga I just bought it, or my dad does it for me himself), and did not think that there would be any problems. Well, I'll take off the slime, well I'll fire it. The beer is chilling, the lemon is cut .. It was not there, put it in a ladle .. wash it .. under cold water .. Guys, and she's alive after all ... THEY CREW OUT .. CREATES ..
Fish flood
How I screamed when these bastards got out into the sink, sucked to the sink, and Larisa and I tried to shove them all back into the basin. Taking them in hand, and rubbing them with salt to remove mucus, this was out of the question. Scary is the wrong word .. teeth still show .. I screamed like a cut, cat Lucy rushed about the apartment, and I already anticipating the taste of lamprey, could not bring myself to take them in my hands .. The snakes in the sink .. teeming ... Trying crawl out, prick them with a fork, and they crawl, over the head with their ladle - and they even have henna .. Nothing takes them .. contagion ... but how they grabbed their teeth into the sink !!! Help !!!! .. Oh .. I had to urgently turn on the hot water, so they were brewed (hurray, in St. Petersburg water boiling water from the tap .. hurray .. it saved us) .. ugh .. took a breath .. drank 50 drops of cognac, to relieve stress !! later I cooked the lamprey. The cat did not appear in the kitchen until the evening .. she also got it. Today we ate (more precisely - I ate, there are still no competitors ..) .. but not yesterday .. no .. but yesterday I was shaking all over .. they laughed later .. but not yesterday. Despite the shock ... I love lampreys no less, only now I know where to start ... With a hot douche .. Ha !!! In like .. And now in St. Petersburg they sell smelt everywhere, fish too, it still smells of cucumbers. Great fish .. and not scary at all ... "
Omela
Irina Dolars , the same story happened to me when I first And last once bought these creatures !! I already poured them with wine and lemon juice, but they still lifted the lid of the pan and climbed out of it. By the way, already cooked, I could not eat it !!!!
Irina Dolars
Fresh fish is considered to be the tastiest. But not as fresh as to kill her hand does not rise
Omela
That I would not say that I do not rise to kill a fish. I fish myself, so I can do it quite calmly !!! But these creatures do not look like fish !!!! Rather on snakes ... And they stick so disgustingly to everything around ... br ...

Girls, the other day I bought canned squid. The first jar was smoked with a salad
I opened the second can ... All the meat is covered with grains of salt. I tried it on my tongue. I didn't feel the salt. And hard as sand
What could it be?
matroskin_kot
I forgot what it's called, but something is crystallizing out of these seafood, (harmless), crabs, squids, a trumpeter .. I wash it and that's it ... If the can is not bomb and the contents are normal, then you can eat ...
Scarecrow
And we are cod liver we eat we eat very well. My children just die on it.We buy either Norwegian (expensive) or fine food (this is METRO's own brand). Delicious in jars with openers. There are also round ones, but for some reason I don't like it. In general, this is an inexpensive brand, but the liver is successful. These are the banks:

Fish flood

And I also love canned fish Aquamarine (manufacturer). Their gobies in tomato (golden childhood) are very pleasing. And sardine in its own juice is lovely, I cooked soup on them ...

matroskin_kot
Yeah, Aquamarine sprat is also delicious. (I bought it recently) And I love Bering. They also have delicious cod liver, only you need to look at the jar so that it is written that it is whole, otherwise it happens like a pate. And they also have cod liver with cod roe in the same jar .. are also good ... And "Captain of taste" or whatever it is called, there is a lot of low-quality ... p, in particular ... Unpalatable, fibrous ...

Irina, where can you read information about this?
The canned food I bought is the company "AQUAMARIN". This is the first time I come across such a thing. After all, my father has been constantly bringing squid in jars from Vladivostok since 1975. And not a single piece was covered with these "crystals". Manufacturers are wise

matroskin_kot
I'll fly to Sochi - I'll ask my mother .. She is a food hygiene doctor ... well, etc., for 30 years she worked with fish processing enterprises and others (though nifigadid not work, patriot, damn it), I also pestered her with these questions. Today gobbled up ate a jar of a trumpeter 6-year-old (I found it in the closet at work on Thursday), but for the experiment, I ate it (well, I wanted to eat) .. The crystals were washed off with boiled water, then I ate them.
I phoned my mother - these are struvites - she said that "it's not harmful, wash and eat, don't bother" (I didn't say that I was trying for the forum) ... This, of course, is a defect in canned food, but it is edible ...
Irina Dolars
Thank you
Squid has long been washed and used for its intended purpose

Here's what I found:
,, Struvite stones are usually composed of magnesium, ammonium phosphate and calcium carbonate. They are formed by the breakdown of urea using a special enzyme, urease, secreted by bacteria. Struvite stones are also called "infectious" stones because their formation is associated with an infection in the urinary tract, which usually occurs due to stagnation of urine and the development of bacteria in it. The most common bacteria that cause struvite are Proteus and Klebsiella, which usually enter the urinary tract from the intestines when personal hygiene is poor. For struvite stones to form, an alkaline urine reaction is required. Struvites are characterized by rapid growth, within a few weeks and can occupy a rather large area of ​​the kidney (so-called coral stone). Despite the widespread use of powerful antibiotics, struvite stones are not uncommon ... "

Something my appetite subsided a little
matroskin_kot
Duc, if we have it - in the body - it's bad, and squid is the result of heat treatment .. It has already turned out ... It was cooked .. ... I don't remember, but there are some technologies for the destruction of these very struvites in the cooking process ... but where is the guarantee that it is not more harmful ...
There, sugar-protein somehow binds from the temperature, but it's not harmful for us, well ... tasteless ... Moreover, it happens even in one batch of products, some cans are normal, others are crystals ... I'll come, I'll be mom torment ....
matroskin_kot
Shouldn't ... grow ...
I'm here "utilizing" squid with / ice cream. Fly away on the 15th, and the trumpeter squid is in the freezer ... I need to eat it .. Moreover, the price of a trumpeter is 1200 r / kg ... Burst ...
I am beautifull
People! And maybe someone will tell you where the salted herring went? At the beginning of last year, we sold it by weight at a weekend fair, and it happened in chain stores. And now there is not even hot smoked herring. I didn't even find it in Auchan.
Bast1nda
I have a bunch of char. What can we do with him, except for salting.

I cooked soup, it smells a little, I concluded that maybe fish of this breed is not for soups? Snout recipes, found nothing from char. Maybe put him on the cutlets?
Ipatiya
Bast1nda, and smoke?
Bast1nda
Ipatiya, we do not eat smoked. It can simply bake like a mackerel, since the char, although it is of the red family, turned out to be extremely aromatic for cooking at home.
Ipatiya
Bast1nda, try this recipe for baking... Very good reviews! Please note, the author of the recipe gave a link 🔗 for a more detailed discussion.
Bast1nda
Ipatiya, yeah, I noticed, but it was embarrassing that there is cumbria, but I think that char is also possible?
