Tips for getting rid of fishy smell. Soak in cold lemon water or cold milk. See description box

Hello beautiful, these are my tips when dealing with fish that might be smelly. First, fish should never have a pungent odor when fresh. However, if it is very stinky, throw it out. When in doubt get rid of it. For fish with a slight odor, make a lemon water solution- enough cold water to cover the fish - plus one lemon juiced. Juice the lemon in the coldest tap water first then submerge the fish for 5 minutes. Remove, rinse, dry and season as normal.
Some chefs use cold milk. That works too.
General rule of thumb, use fish on the day it is purchased. And no more than 1 day in the fridge. Otherwise freeze it.
When defrosting fish, defrost it in the refrigerator- takes up to a day. Or defrost under coldest running water. This takes a little time, however.
Happy Cooking.

Thanks for your comment. There is a difference between the smell of fresh fish verses one that’s not fresh. Have a fantastic day. Best Regards.
