We have prepared a selection of fish recipes that will surely make your mouth water. In addition, we will share some super important tips to help you make your preparation even more perfect.
What is the best way to eat fish?
If you are looking for recipes with fish, you will undoubtedly have 1001 preparation possibilities, as this is a very versatile ingredient.
Therefore, establishing the best way to consume fish can be quite difficult. But, without a doubt, for day-to-day use we recommend roasting it, like a stew, in the same way that steaming it can also be an option.
Also, looking for more nutritious options like tuna and sardines are great ways to add Omega 3 to your diet, for example.
Tips for choosing the right fish
Undoubtedly, whenever you can opt for the fresh version of fish, it is the ideal way to consume this ingredient. However, we know that this is not always possible. In this way, there is always the option to consume the frozen, canned versions (like tuna, for example), as well as the salted version (as we usually find cod).
However, if you are going to invest in the fresh version, we suggest you pay attention to some points, such as:
- Regardless of the cut, always pay attention to the color and smell of the fish, which should not deviate from what is generally characteristic of this type of meat;
- If you opt for the whole fish, it is important to confirm that the eyes are very bright and the gills must be pink or reddish;
- Lastly, both fish with scales and fillets sold with the skin on must have the skin well adhered to the meat.
Types and cuts of fish
As I said earlier, the most common ways to find fish are:
- Fresco;
- Frozen;
- Canned – Either from oil or brine;
- Salgado.
In addition, it is possible to buy your fish:
- Whole: fish in its entirety. It can come with scale or not. It’s usually a great one to be baked in the oven or even made on the grill;
- slices: They are usually cuts from the whole fish, which preserves the skin and some bones and cartilage. It is perfect for preparations such as moquecas, stews or even being served fried;
- fillets: Possibly the noblest cut, as it is made only of meat. In some cases, such as salmon, for example, it may come with a layer of skin as well. Undoubtedly it is the best option for grilling, but it can also be served roasted or, following a few cuts, prepared as gurgeons or appetizers;
- shredded: Generally more common among salted fish as well as pickled.
