Cooking techniques play a significant role in the quality and taste of meals we prepare in our kitchen. It is not only the ingredients that make a meal but also the various techniques involved in the cooking process that culminate in a perfect dish. One of the most critical techniques in cooking is fish.

When it comes to cooking fish, it is essential to master the art of cleaning round fish. This type of fish is characterized by its round body shape and a bony structure. Round fish refer to fish varieties like trout, salmon, cod, and haddock, which are commonly found in seafood markets. To make the most of these fish, you need to learn the proper techniques of cleaning them.

Cleaning round fish may seem daunting and tricky at first, but it’s a straightforward process that can be mastered over time. Here are a few steps that can guide you in cleaning round fish to perfection:

1. Removing the Scales: To remove the scales, a scaler or a knife can be used. Hold your fish firmly by its tail and run the scaler/knife towards the head over the fish’s skin. Make sure to remove the scales properly as they can ruin the taste and texture of the cooked fish. Rinse the fish properly to remove any remaining scales.

2. Gutting: Incise the belly of the fish from the anus to the gill. Carefully cut around the gills and pull them down into the cavity. Use your fingers or a spoon to remove the innards. While cleaning your fish, always be careful to remove any bones near the tail and fins.

3. Removing the Head and Fins: Cut off the head of the fish. You can also remove the fins to make handling the fish easier. However, be sure to use sharp scissors and remove the fins carefully, as they can be sharp and cause injury.

4. Rinsing: Rinse your fish with cold, running water to remove any remaining debris or blood.

Now that you’ve cleaned your round fish let’s move onto the cooking process.

Some recommended cooking techniques for round fish include baking, roasting, frying, grilling, or broiling. The flavor of the fish can be enhanced using marinades or dry-rubs that add flavor to the fish and make it more tender and juicy.

When baking or roasting your cleaned fish, make sure to preheat your oven to the right temperature. Add a layer of oil to your baking dish and place the cleaned fish on the dish. Sprinkle your preferred spices or herbs over the top and wrap it with an aluminum foil or baking paper. Place it into the oven, and voila! You’ll have a deliciously cooked fish meal.

For frying the fish, use a nonstick pan and add oil to the pan. Ensure the pan is preheated before adding the fish. When the oil is hot, add the fish and fry for a few minutes until crispy – flip the fish and cook for an additional few minutes until both sides are golden brown.

With the above techniques, cooking round fish should never be a daunting process. Take care in cleaning your fish and proper cooking temperature before preparing your meal. So why wait?
