Ear from catfish head

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare all the necessary products. It is best to take the fish chilled, there are much fewer useful substances in the frozen product. In addition to the head, you can take other parts of the fish, the tail and fins are perfect. The oil can be any vegetable: from olive to rapeseed.

   Cut off the head of the fish. Be sure to remove the gills: if this is not done, the broth will turn out bitter. Ideas wash the fish head and other parts of it well if you use them.
