I thought we have a pomfret to steam for dinner on the eve but I was wrong. I was preparing heaps of chinese corriander and spring onion with slices of ginger for the fish steaming but in the end, these ingredients went into my chicken soup. The fish we had for dinner was salmon. Now....salmon is really a strange fish to me because personally, I think it is best eaten raw and any other cooking method such as steaming or even frying, makes the fish kinda distasteful. The strong 'fishy' smell tends to linger in the flesh. Knowing this, hubby cleverly fried some ginger slices for garnishing and for reducing the 'fishy' smell if you eat it together.
i had once grilled a salmon b4 and it did not turn out as nice as i hd expected...the meat was coarse and the taste was.....ya.as u described "fishy"..frm then on, i nvr cooked anymore salmon..rather eat it raw!
ReplyDeleteYes, the flesh is kinda tough, not as tender as the rest of the fish we normally eat. The strange thing is when you eat it raw, there's no fishy smell at all. Weird, eh?
