Boiled ice fish

Today in stores you can often meet an exotic guest - an ice fish. Previously, such fish was inexpensive, but now it can be attributed to delicacies - the product is not cheap, but very tasty! The meat of ice fish is snow-white, incredibly delicate texture, it literally melts in your mouth! In addition, it also tastes sweet, since this fish feeds on krill. Considering that there are no bones in the meat of ice fish, it is perfect for feeding lada very young children.

Cooking ice fish is extremely simple! But first it needs to be properly defrosted, which means that it needs to be done slowly, gradually. Take the fish out of the freezer and leave it to defrost in the refrigerator. you can, of course, use a microwave oven, but as a result, the fish may not be as tasty and much less useful. Therefore, it is better to be patient and take care of defrosting in advance.

We wash the thawed fish, clean it if necessary, cut off the heads and fins, wash the abdomen. Next, we put the carcasses on a cutting board and cut into large pieces. Or we leave it whole, since the fish is small in size, then whole carcasses will look cute and appetizing.

We put a saucepan with two liters of salted water on a high heat, bring the liquid to a boil. When the water boils, we throw pieces of ice fish into it, and reduce the heating to a minimum. We wash the sprigs of greens (it can be dill, parsley) and throw half into a saucepan. We also pour pepper with peas. If the fish is being prepared for the baby, we do not put greens and pepper, and add a minimum amount of salt.

Cook pieces of ice fish for 8 minutes on the lowest heat, then remove the fish to the dish. It is important not to digest the fish - because of its delicate structure, its meat has a great chance of turning into jelly. We lay out the carcasses (pieces) on serving plates, serve to your taste. We offer this option... We water the pieces of fish with lemon juice (of course, we do not water the baby, but simply knead or even grind with a blender, here we are talking about adult eaters). We chop fresh greens and put them inside the carcasses, you can decorate with greens and on top. Sprinkle with crushed black pepper. We complement it with any side dish, if there is a desire for it, and serve it warm on the table.

Bon appetit!
