10 ways to get rid of fishy smell

　　The magic weapon to get rid of the fishy smell: Ginger

　　When cooking fish, some people like to put ginger in the pot with the fish, thinking that this can remove the fishy smell. In fact, adding ginger too early will cause protein to leak out of the fish and hinder the ginger's fishy removal effect. You can boil the fish in the pot for a while, and then add ginger after the protein has solidified; you can also add a small amount of vinegar and cooking wine when frying the pot to remove the fishy smell, relieve greasiness and increase the aroma. If you still feel the fishy smell, sprinkle some minced garlic before serving, the effect is very good, especially when cooking fish that has been frozen for a long time.

　　Magic weapon 2 for removing fishy smell: wet starch

　　Heat the oil in which the fish has been fried, remove the fishy smell with onions, ginger, and Sichuan peppercorns, then pour in some thick, wet starch slurry that has been thoroughly mixed. Because the wet starch explodes when heated and sinks into the oil, the starch bubbles can absorb the fishy smell in the oil, and then skim off the floating starch bubbles.

　　The third magic weapon for removing fishy smell: flour

　　Heat the oil used for frying the fish in a pot, add a little green onion, ginger and Sichuan peppercorns to fry until browned. Then remove the pot from the fire, grab a handful of noodles and sprinkle them into the hot oil. The flour will gelatinize and deposit after being heated, adsorbing some trimethylamine dissolved in the oil, which can remove most of the fishy smell of the oil.

　　Magic weapon six for getting rid of fishy smell: Warm tea
