Step cooking
- For fish soup we need 1-1.2 kg of fresh pike perch. First you need to prepare it. The fish must be cleaned of scales, carefully remove the fins, gut, remove all the insides. We will also use the head for cooking fish soup, so we need to remove the eyes and gills from it. Rinse the carcass well, cut into portions.
- Pour 3 liters of water into the pan, put the head and tail, put on fire.
- After the water boils, make a small fire. Remove all foam that has appeared.
- Then you need to peel the bulb, rinse with running water, make a cross-shaped incision, send it into the water.
- Peel the carrots, rinse well, cut in half, send to the fish in a pan.
- Then peel and rinse the root and parsley and send there.
- Now you need to add spices: 10 peas of allspice and a couple of bay leaves.
- After the broth boils, the fire must be reduced, do not cover the pan with a lid and cook for 30 minutes. Periodically you will clean the foam.
- While the broth is boiling, we need to prepare the potatoes, peel the tubers, rinse, cut into small cubes or any other method that you like.
- After 30 minutes, you need to get the tail, fish head and roots from the pan. You won’t need it anymore.
- Strain the broth, put on fire.
- Once it boils, add potatoes and salt to your liking.
- Now you need to peel the carrots, cut into thin half rings and send to the broth with potatoes after the water boils.
- We are waiting again for the broth to boil. After this, add portioned fish slices. If desired, you can separate the fillet from the bone and skin, cut into small cubes and send to the broth. After that, let the ear boil, cook until the fish is ready for about 15 minutes. Do not forget to remove the emerging foam.
- If desired, you can add more spices: salt and black pepper. Great help to make the taste of a small piece of butter and chopped parsley. After the ear is completely ready, you need to take a sample and determine for yourself what is missing. Then cover and let it brew for 15 minutes.
- Serve in portioned plates. The taste of fish soup is emphasized by rye bread or crackers. Rusks can be made independently from white or rye bread.
