Antarctic icefish - recipe

"Fish Antarctic ice" - so dubbed this toothy beast with a small translucent body and absolutely not red blood romantic French. The Soviet food industry turned out to be more prosaic. On the shelves of our stores, according to GOST, products came under the code name of pristipoma, or silver hake. But the people because of the absolutely white blood (it does not have hemoglobin and red bodies), the fish was nicknamed "ice cold". Silver hake in the era of total deficit was available to everyone. They were fed cats, sometimes they ate themselves. By default it was believed that this is not a delicacy. But it is not so. It's just that our people did not know how to make icefish.

If we deal with silver hake in the way we are used to dealing with the inhabitants of our rivers and lakes, there will not be much sense. Ice - very lean fish, and the ear from it turns out not rich. In addition, it is devoid of a characteristic fishy smell. This can be taken into account in the "pluses". There is even a person who does not tolerate the fish spirit. Another undoubted advantage of a guest from distant Antarctica is the almost complete absence of bones: nature contrived to "attach" a solid filet to the spine. And on it there are no scales. Correctly having prepared it, it is possible to enjoy a gentle slightly shrimp flavor, which has icefish. Recipe Its processing is very simple: cut off the head and fins, gut the peritoneum and rinse. If you caught frozen fish, thaw it slowly. Best on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator.
