    If you're not going to eat rice... 😱😱😱There's a few other ways to reduce that fishy odour.
    #1) Soak in milk for 10-15 minutes (Substance called Casein found in milk that binds with the fish odor)
    #2) Pour 1:1 equal amount of vinegar + cold water (Not as effective as milk, reduced smell about 50%)
    For both ways, remember to rinse-off afterwards!
    Always say no to Stinky Fish!

      This seems so easy and delicious! As I'm from NYC and recently moved to Korea, I'm afraid to buy a whole fish lol cause you never see it whole in the states.....GREAT VIDEO- Will GIVE IT A TRY!!! (:

      Do you think soaking the fish in a cornstarch+water mixture would work? Since I don't have any rice water atm, I think I'll try that.. 🐠

    pro-tip! i made a lot of braised fish during my time in korea (saury, mackerel, etc) and if you add some good ripe kimchi and onions on top of the radish under the fish, you'll get some bomb 김치생선조림 ^^

    I just soaked/cooked and ate Mackerel by your recipe, it’s 09:00 here in USA, Tennessee, actually ate this for breakfast with Pa Kimchi, pickled Korean radish, rice and radish Kimchi. I made two nice heads of Kimchi yesterday, put it in the refrigerator about an hour ago to slow the fermentation a bit. Thank you for sharing your recipe, the fish was great.

    I love mackerel!! 😍😍 but not even joking.. fishbones have me traumatized haha! As a child I ate fish all the time, deep fried. But when I was like 7 I ate a bone and it actually pierced my tongue. I didn't know at the time it happened but I thought it was stuck in my throat and had it for two days!! So when I finally looked in the mirror I saw it was through my tongue 😑😑 had to push it out and still has me chewing my fish for 10 mins haha 😂😂 but mackerel is so tasty!!

  • @vanillacarnivore
    @vanillacarnivore 5 років тому +1

    If the fish has a head, another good tip to know if the fish is fresh is to look at the eyes. Fresh fish have nice glossy eyes. If the fish is not so fresh, the eyes look dull and dried.

    Cool learned a new method to cook this fish! I normally use one of those gas stove top korean grills to grill my mackerel but the only thing I use is kosher salt on both sides. I grill the fish about 6-8 per side then serve with some grated daikon & soy sauce. I'll have to try your method next time.
    Downside of my method? Fishy smell everywhere but I found rubbing a piece of daikon over the grill seems to get rid of it or even an onion works.

Anyway, let me get to the point haha, I was wondering if I could apply this to any fish or if the flavors were specific to the Mackerel.

And one tip when handling fish that cooked in broth is dont stir the fish/broth too much or it will fall apart.. my mom would go crazy if i started to stir even just a lil 😂😂 but yeah, nice recipe, would love to try this.. one question though, what can i replace cooking wine with inside the recipe?

    I finally got to watch this video. From where I am, we eat rice and fish curry on a daily basis ^_^ So this was a good recipe for me and I KNOW it's gonna taste GOOOOOOD!
