Preparing fish
Elaboration
According to the type of fish we will prepare using the following process:
- Finning: remove the fin of the fish using a pair of scissors.
- Descaling: remove the scales of any fish by scraping them in the opposite direction.
- Eviscerating: gut the fish.
- Cleaning: remove all the scales that remain on the fish using water.
- Drying: dry with a paper towel.
The most habitual cuts:
- Cutlet: it is the vertical cut which goes through the flesh, skin and spine, used for plain or hemispherical fishes. Weight between 200 to 250 g.
- Darns: same as the cutlet but used for cylindrical fishes. Weight between 200 to 250 g.
- Suprême: serve cut without spine and with or without skin. Can be found in all the fillet of the fish, primarily in the tail.
- Steak: thick, round form cut, without the spine nor the skin, with a weight of 50 to 75 g. Depending on the weight, 2 or 3 units serving.
