Useful Tips
One of the main ingredients for Spanish soup is fish stock. As a rule, each mistress has her own recipe for cooking fish broth, but there are a few tricks that will help improve her taste.
- The taste of fish broth largely depends on the ratio of water, fish and seasonings. Soup sets of crucian carp, bream and perch will not work for this purpose, since such a broth will be bitter.
- If the foam has dispersed before you have collected it, pour a glass of cold water into the pan. The foam rises again, and you can easily remove it.
- If you use sturgeon fish, then you can get rid of rusty plaque on your heads by first scalding them with boiling water and washing thoroughly.
