What to do if fish sticks to the pan

Fish is a kind of meat we often eat. Compared with other meats, fish has a more delicate texture, very low cholesterol content, and relatively low fat content. Therefore, it is a healthy meat, very suitable for middle-aged and elderly people. It has a good effect in preventing diseases and improving immunity. Usually, when cooking fish, it is easy to stick to the pan. Let's see what to do if the fish sticks to the pan?

What to do if fish sticks to the pan

The fish meat is tender, without thick tendons, the fiber tissue is not tight, the thermal conductivity is poor, and the fish skin easily sticks to the pan when frying. If you want to fry fish without sticking to the pan, you can follow the following four methods:

1. First wash, dry and heat the pot. Apply a layer of ginger juice on the bottom of the pot, then heat the oil. Fry the fish when the oil is hot. The fish skin will not stick to the pot.

2. Dip the cleaned fish (cut large ones into pieces) in egg paste, then fry it in a pan. When it turns golden brown, turn it over and fry the other side so that it will not stick to the pan.

3. Dip the cleaned fish and fish pieces in a thin layer of flour and fry them in an oil pan. This will keep the fish shape intact and the fish skin non-stick.

4. Before frying, marinate the fish or fish pieces with fine salt and cooking wine, and then put them in the oil pan. This will also prevent the fish skin from sticking to the pan.

8 tips for frying fish without sticking

1. If possible, choose a suitable pan before frying the fish, because a good pan can better prevent the fish from sticking. If the amount of fish you are frying is small, it is best to choose a non-stick pan; if you are frying a large amount of fish, choose a large new iron pan; if the above conditions are not met, try to use a pan that has not been burnt; if you must use a pan that has a history of burns, try to remove the burn marks as much as possible.

2. No matter what the situation is before frying fish, it is best to clean the pan thoroughly and wash away all the substances that may burn attached to the wall of the pan. Don't be lazy to prevent these substances from burning in the pan. These burnt marks can easily stick to the fish.

3. Sometimes fried fish is just one of the many dishes that need to be cooked, so everyone may have different arrangements for the cooking order of various dishes, and different arrangements may result in different sticking situations. After cooking, other dishes will have glue that sticks to the pan, so if you don’t clean them thoroughly or don’t clean them at all, it is very likely that the fried fish will stick to the pan. Therefore, it is recommended to fry the fish first and then cook other dishes.

4. Add more oil so that the fish can soak in the pan. This will make it easier to turn over and the fish will have less contact with the bottom of the pan, which will help reduce sticking.

5. If the fried fish is to be eaten directly and not used for cooking other dishes (such as fish head tofu soup), you can coat the fish pieces with a layer of batter or starch paste before frying. This way, the fish can be shaped quickly during frying and will not easily stick to the pan.
